Scripture & Tradition — Is It “Either/Or”?

Is it Scripture or Tradition… or is that the wrong question entirely? In this episode of Divinely Catholic: Two Roads, One Church, we dive into one of the most misunderstood topics in Christianity: the relationship between the Bible and Sacred Tradition. If you’ve ever wondered: ✝️ “Why do Catholics follow Tradition?” ✝️“Isn’t the Bible enough?” ✝️ “Where did the Bible even come from?” …this conversation is for you. Together, we unpack how the early Church lived the faith before the New Testament was fully written, how the canon of Scripture was discerned, and why Scripture and Tradition were never meant to compete—but to work together as one unified deposit of faith. This episode isn’t about debate—it’s about clarity, history, and truth. You may not lose your love for Scripture…You may discover its foundation. 📖 KEY SCRIPTURES DISCUSSED 2 Thessalonians 2:15 — “Hold fast to the traditions…” 1 Timothy 3:15 — “The Church… pillar and foundation of truth” John 21:25 — Not everything Jesus did was written Matthew 16:18–19 — Authority given to the Church Luke 10:16 — “He who hears you hears Me” ✝️ WHAT YOU’LL LEARN The difference between Sacred Tradition and “man-made traditions” How the Bible was formed (and why that matters) Why Scripture alone wasn’t how the early Church operated How the Magisterium, Scripture, and Tradition work together Why this understanding brings clarity, not confusion 🔥 FEATURED QUOTE FROM THIS EPISODE “God didn’t leave us a book… and walk away.He gave us a Church.” 🙌 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your perspective on Scripture and Tradition?
