God speaks to us through the Bible and tradition as well. Tradition is not the inspired word of God. The Bible is. The term partim... partim... (which means part, part) was used to say that the church should teach using part scripture and some tradition. At the church I used to go to, we would recite the apostles creed or the nicene creed. I preffered the apostles creed because it was shorter. These creeds were not in the Bible, nor are they the inspired word of God, but they hold much truth. They affirm truths in the Bible. The early creeds were formed because the authors of them were opposing heretical ideas being spread throughout the church community. We do not hold to all the traditions. We only hold to those that present Biblical truth.
