Holy Spirit,formed CHURCH,divinely appointed Peter as head. Today his successor is pope Francis. Church does not derive it's belief from scripture alone &it was spread in entire Roman Empire before single book of New testament was written. There were many martyrs in church before to Gospels/Epistles. An authoritative &recognised ministry was carrying on God's work at HIS command, speaking in His name as witnesses of what they have seen,before anyone decided to write a single line of new testament. Church believed in VIRGIN BIRTH then Gospels recorded it. Church is preceded to new testament. Memory of church is more than 2014yrs & is called traditions(laid down in apostles creed-note CONCEIVED BY HOLY SPIRIT,BORN OF VIRGIN MARY/Communion OF SAINTS).Gospel needs tradition as lungs need air. True christianity has to be from scriptures & continuous teaching of Church!. can U ignore Church?
