I am not one of those Protestants, I assure you.
The early Church and all its members were real people. It's living, breathing history, and it has existed continuously since the time of Christ.
I believe that but not that it has existed exclusively in the Roman Catholic church as we know it.
Christ didn't turn water into wine on page 764 of your Bible or in Matthew "Chapter x, verse so-and-so". He did it in Cana, at a wedding, with His friends and family in attendance, in the year 30 or so
Please, there really is no need to be so condescending. For a Protestant, I comprehend more than you would think given your preconceived stereotypical ideas about Protestants. You'd be surprised to know I do agree with quite a few of the catholic church's causes.
The Apostles did. And they passed on their knowledge to their followers, and so on and so forth.
John was writing his eyewitness account of Jesus some thirty years later than the other three accounts, possibly around 95AD. There had been time for growth, reflection and observation. Had the Holy Spirit inspired John to record more acts, he would've, I am sure. Instead he writes "Truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not recorded in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah) the Son of God, and that believing you may have (eternal) life in His name" (John 20:31). IOW, what is recorded is sufficient.
Please point me to a reliable source of the extrabiblical acts of Christ.
