You seem to be saying here that you think there is a different gospel in the old testament than there is in the new testament. Is this correct?
Not at all. You seemed to be trying to use Paulās instruction to the Jews to look to the Gospels in Scripture as a proof of your disput of Oral Tradition in the Church. It seemed as though you misunderstood Paul to be speaking of the Gospels of Christ as recorded in the New Testament to prove this. But nonetheless, Paul was *preaching the Gospel. *This is Oral Tradition.
Obviously, the New Testament Gospels were not inspired as of this time, so Paul couldnāt have been speaking of them. That would bring us to the conclusion that Paul was
referring to the Old Testament Gospels and preaching (Oral Tradition) the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Now, in order to do this Paul would have to be speaking of things
implied in the Old Testament, but not explicitly stated . Paul is actually doing exactly what the Church Magesterium does today, uses itās Apostolic authority to guide its believers through Scripture, even those things that are implicitly stated.
See, my point is this, you believe that at some mysterious point in time (notwithstanding the period between the actual canonization of the Old and New Testaments) that God took away this Apostilic authority and left us with only Scripture to guide His Church.
Can you show me where God did that?
Paul is clearly using Apostilic authority here to teach things that are not explicit in Scripture. greggy has shown you were the Church is in authority over Scripture.
So, weāve clearly shown you these two ways in which the Church was leading Christās Ministry. Not to mention the fact that you in some arbitrary way, believe the Church had the authority to decide which books would be in the Bible, but not how to interpret the same Scriptures? Or maybe the Church could be infallible in itās cannonizing the Bible, but not itās interpretation of it?
Donāt you think the Church would have to know beyond all possibility of being errant what was
in Scripture before they could then put that in order and distribute it amongst all Christians for all time?
It doesnāt even make sense that you would accept the very Bible you quote from as being canonized correctly, but you donāt accept the very Church who did that to know whatās being said in it. Thatās simply illogical.
If you could explain how you arrive at this, I think we could be on the same page.
