The Bereans incident!
The berean incident supports both scripture and tradition!
(((NOT SCRIPTURE ALONE!)))
acts 17:3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
(There is no single verse in the O.T. that says this)
one verse that refers to suffering is Isa 53 but it does not say it refers to Christ.
acts 8:30-35
35 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
The fact that Isa 53 refers to Jesus Christ is only according to apostolic tradition of Paul and Philip!
The jews and I have communicated with them on this site DO NOT accept Isa 53 as reference to Christ but to Israel itself, and they say Paul is a hetetic and traitor.
The bereans believed both the scripture and tradition!!!
(sacred tradition is found all over yhe new testament, and was handed down decades before the new testament was written, and centuries before the canon was itself collected by apostolic authority and approved by the pope of rome in 381-2 at the council of rome!)
examples
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (every word the apostles heard from Christ)
mt 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
mt 16:16-17
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Lk 11:28 blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words...
acts 4:31 and they spake the word of God with boldness.
1 cor 11:23 as I received of the Lord I have handed down to you...
1 thes 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
2 thes 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
