Sola Scriptura: 2 John 12 does not prove the need for extra-Biblical ... Sola Scriptura: 2 John 12 does not prove the need for extra-Biblical oral traditions today. If we took all that is in the Bible and added what Catholics and Orthodox say is recorded in "oral tradition" we would still be missing a lot of information. So the argument is self refuting. Yes, there are many events and stories not written in the Bible, but what is written is all we need for our faith. That's what John says in Jn 20:31. The many things could have been details of the book of Revelation.
