Thank you so much for sharing those beautiful Scriptures, dear sister in Christ!

It’s just that other happenings were not recorded in the Gospels.

Indeed, and I'm sure that not everything John said or wrote was conveying the words of God. But I'm also sure that all the words of God He wanted us to hear were preserved for us by God Himself as He promised.

The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. – Psalms 12:6-7

The difference is emphasized in Revelation:

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. - Rev 22:18-19

Paul also emphasized the difference here:

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. – Galatians 1:11-19

All the writings attributed to John and Paul go hand-in-glove in my spirit. As do the Scriptures altogether - different scribes over thousands of years but the same Author.

God's Name is I AM.

Thanks for your opinions. Since what I posted from John and John’s letters is Scripture inspired by the Holy Spirit I DO believe it.
