Uuummm, to organize and fulfill the mission he gave his disciples---to go to all nations, making disciples, baptizing, and teaching them to observe ALL THAT HE COMMANDED THEM, perhaps? End of story.

So, I think we are in agreement here. The written Word is not "all" that God intended.

Back up. As for the "ALL THAT HE COMMANDED THEM," the N.T. writers included all that we need to fulfill that mission in their writings to the various churches of the day. They didn't include the extraneous RC practices that we see today because......well, some are false and all are extraneous, IMO. 8 : )
