Should Christian doctrine come from the Bible? What about tradition, such as is found in the 'Living Magesterium'? Are 'sacred scripture' and 'sacred tradition' equal as sources for doctrine? What did the Apostles Peter, John, Paul, and Jude teach? What did Jesus teach about scripture and tradition? What did early Christians teach? Did any act like modern Pharisees related to tradition? Did Irenaeus teach against 'sola Scriptura'? What did Polycarp of Smynra and Melito of Sardis teach about tradition? Should the millennial scriptures be considered as allegorical? Did Protestant Reformers rely on the claimed "usefulness of tradition"? Were matters such as Sunday, Christmas, the trinity, infant baptism, and participation in carnal warfare 'late traditions' that early Christians did not endorse? Do Greco-Roman Catholics and Protestants hold to many doctrines that are based on traditions that early Christians did not accept? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues.
