Like I said, very little about Saints in the Bible
This is something Tradition has to handle

Tradition? Your statement is powerful. Saying tradition is not a good source. If its not in the bible then dont include it.

Bible is important than tradition

Sure, but we need tradition to interpret the Bible. This is the most stark difference between Protestant and Catholic: we give more credence to tradition.

It also doesn't say abortion is wrong in the Bible, but we know that to still be wrong

What the difference between Catholic and Jews during Jesus time then?

Both hold major importance to tradition

Jesus came to destroy Jewish tradition and insteas told to focus on the relationship with God.

So Bible is more important than tradition

> What the difference between Catholic and Jews during Jesus time then?
@DeButcher Not much
The Apostles still considered themselves Jews, and just followed Jesus' teaching

Wait so
You're saying Bible is more important because Jesus came to destroy Jewish culture, and because Jewish culture emphasized tradition, tradition is less important?

Just trying to understand where you're coming from

Yes they focus on tradition and laws and the pharisee made the life of Jews bad.

They adding things to the Torah and complicated it

I wouldn't say that Catholicism and Judaism are similar to compare, even though Christianity is certainly rooted in Judaism

Focus on what's important. Relationship with Christ

@MKSmash
Im just talking bout the tradition aspect

I know, but you're connecting them with one thin strand (tradition); I don't find your claim very strong that tradition isn't as important because it is one of the things we have in common with Judaism

Tradition cant do you any good. Following it wont take you heaven. Following the word of God for sure will. So i urge you to read the bible. Bible is sufficient. It has all the things we need.

You're right, it does; however, it requires tradition to adequately interpret and "use" the Bible

Could you give an example where tradition is need to explain the bible.

If tradition is needed then it would be included in the bible

Sure
Let's take Genesis, in the Creation story. We obviously can't take this story seriously, with the earth being created in 7 "days". We need tradition to interpret how creation happened; for example, how Eve was created from Adam.

wdym not actually 7 days?

Time doesn't exist with God, he only exists in the eternal now.

There was no time to work with

God is the creator. He created time.

He could have created the universe in less than 1 second

true

He has infinite power

But He took his time and made it step by step process

exactly. I believe that He and Jesus built the world, and that God taught Jesus how to.

That's
Different😄

Where does that belief come from?

Read Gensis 1:5
