The Bible and the necessity of Apostolic Tradition (St. John the Apostle on the minimal amount of information he put in his Gospel in relation to all he witnessed from Jesus) The Gospel of John Ch 21 Vs 24-25 This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.
(St. Paul the Apostle on following Apostolic Tradition) 1 Thessalonians Ch 2 Vs 13 For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.
2 Thessalonians Ch2 Vs 15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.
1 Corinthians 11 Vs 1-2 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.
(Jesus on the necessity of preaching, teaching and baptizing. Note no instructions to write anything down. Only 5 of the 12 Apostles wrote down any of their teachings.) The Gospel of Mark Ch 16 Vs 15-16 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
The Gospel of Matthew 28 19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
