How did oral tradition fail the Copts?

[Isaiah45_9]

I don’t pretend that the CC one day just made a prayer and were given a certain amount of books to believe in. They have faith that the books in the Canon should be included; there was much fighting over this fact. I also can’t find a book that I would include, outside of those included.

Well, your Canon is closed now; while the tradition of some Orthodox Church’s are still open to have more books than what yours has. If oral tradition were so tight, why didn’t the CC accept the extra books that some Orthodox Church’s have?

You have placed yourself in a precarious situation.

You have said you can’t trust oral Traditon and still, you believe in the Gospels and the message they carry. And they come from the very same Tradition you can’t trust.

What are you prepared to do?

The Bible is not a source of dispute between the OC and the CC. The Bible was not meant to replace the authority of bishops…church authority still rest on the bishops…that is why the canon is not a source of dispute.

Keep in mind, the Bible canon was settled to have a standard set of readings for the Divine Liturgy…not to prove or extract doctrine, as what protestants have done with the Bible. The extra books some OC have in their canons stem from the tradition they received the Septuagint from.
