“There’s a lot of things Christ said and did that you won’r find in Scripture. A fact which is lost on the obtuse.
“But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.” John 21:25”

Your argument appears to be that we can make up anything and pretend Christ said it...

Your argument appears to want to completely dismiss oral tradition. We can never know all the teachings Jesus presented to the Apostles (or to others for that matter) just from scripture alone. Oral tradition is not a pretense for Church doctrine. This is very clear when one reads the many of writings of early Church Fathers, some of whom were taught directly by the Apostles. Some were presbyters and bishops appointed by the Apostles or were their successors.

And Christ said, “This is MY BODY...” I guess you believe that too, or do you ‘splain it away as most Bible Christians do?
