And had the Apostles relied on the Bible alone, we would still be following the Law of Moses. It wasn't until the Council of Jerusalem in the year AD 49 that circumcision and the Jewish dietary laws were declared nonextant, unilaterally, by St. Peter.

Before St. Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles, that council was not part of scripture.
