Before he formed the biblical canon was only the tradition of the Church

Objection from Catholics

The Catholic Church considers the Bible and tradition together! Before 395 D.C., there was no Bible! What we had was the Tradition of the Apostles, which has been passed down through 2000 years. “Colonna e fondamento della verità è la Chiesa” (1Timoteo 3:15). It is not the Bible! The church. Read what the Fathers of the Church said. They were all undeniably Catholic. Now I ask you … who are you going to believe? To a group of men who have lived 1.500 years after Christ, o a quegli uomini che in realtà conoscevano gli apostoli?

Answer

It was not the Catholic Church that put the Bible together! It was the Jews who wrote the Old Testament (which rejects the apocrypha like us too – the deuterocanonical books that the Catholic Church inserted after the Protestant Reformation during the Council of Trent) and the New Testament was written precisely by Christians who were doctrinally like so many of the Protestants of our day. I 27 books that should be included in the New Testament have been officially designated as spurious scriptures, but that does not mean that they finally became authoritative from that point on. Erano già autorevoli. Furthermore, the people who lived in Hippo and Carthage were not like the Catholics of our time. This is very easy to prove in many practices today, how to say the rosary, with wearing brown scapular and miraculous medals, they did not exist at that time. These practices were later on from the Catholic system.

E’ false to say that the whole early church, before the canon was formed, had the Traditionof the Apostles. They had all the Old Testament formed as well as the books that would later be canonized as the “New Testament”. Then, the Christians who lived in 150 to.C. they had access to the books of the same Bible we have today.

The so-called Sacra “Tradition” in the catholic church, which is exalted like the Bible cannot be of God, because it contradicts Scripture in so many doctrines. For example: the Rosary tradition is a violation of Scripture, Matteo. 6:6,7:

But you, when you pray, go into your room and, closed the door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and Father your, who sees in secret, you will reward. In praying do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard for their many words.

Then say the Rosary, moreover to Mary, when prayers are addressed only to the Father, as Jesus teaches (Luca 11:1-4) it is both a form of repetitive prayer, considered pagan by the Gospel, and let it be a form of idolatry, as it contains prayers to Mary.

Se è vero che il pilastro e fondamento della verità è la church, come church it is not meant a system, a religious organization, ma la church of believers, the invisible one. According to the Bible, the church of Christ is made up of all true Christians as the same defines them. Then, ogni singolo cristiano è quello rappresenta e custodisce la verità della Bibbia.

The man of God is complete and well prepared for every good work with the Scriptures only and needs nothing else:

Each Scripture is inspired of God and useful for teaching, to resume, to correct, to educate to justice, so that the man of God is complete and well prepared for every good work. (2Timoteo 3:16-17)

This includes teaching, to resume, to correct, to educate to justice. If you think that the Scriptures are not enough by themselves then you cannot consider yourself men and women of God

The Fathers of the Church agreed with the affirmation that Scripture alone was enough and that it was the only authority, without traditions. A striking example was Origen. And to think that those people are al 100% considered Christian by the church!
