The "Gospel" is not the Bible and the Bible is not the Gospel. The Bible is a compilation of books and epistles written to illustrate the Gospel of Jesus Christ, some taken from ancinet times and some dealing directly with the ministry of Jesus on earth. It does not contain every word Jesus ever spoke. While the Bible is the word of God, it does not contain all the word of God.

No the Bible doesn’t contain all the word of God, only the portion that God wanted preserved. And it was preserved in just the way he wanted. He sent us the Holy Spirit to lead us to all truth.

Gospel means Good News. The Bible is perfectly adequate in giving us all the good news that we need.

1 We are set free from the penalty of sin which is death through the atonement of Christ. </ end gospel>

THAT is Good News. Finding out there are additional works we must perform is not Good News. Finding out that the author of these additional works is a fraud, is definitely NOT good news.
