Ep. 477 Scripture in Context: 2 Thessalonians 2:15

from Loving the Scriptures Hosted by Steve Gill

"So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter." This is a verse (2 Thessalonians 2:15) that Roman Catholics use to argue against Sola Scriptura and justify the existence and need for oral apostolic tradition. But in this episode we will explore the context of this verse to show how this cannot be the case. What was Paul talking about leading up to the verse, and how can the contextual situaition itself cast doubt on the claim that tradition is needed to complete God's revelation?
