Jesus commanded the Apostles to teach them to observe “ALL THINGS” He has taught. John states that there are many other things about Jesus that he did not write. Since we are commanded to observe “ALL THINGS”, where is one to find what John left out? If you only have sola scriptura (Christianity lite) you can’t because it isn’t written down, it is the teachings of the Church passed on within Sacred Tradition

Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

You are wrong of course...Jesus healed thousands more people...Jesus no doubt expounded more on the OT...Jesus likely fed more people with nothing, walked on more water, and on and on and on...There would be no reason to write about these things...Do you have any idea why??? Because Jesus said so...

Becasue what WAS written is all we need...It's complete... All you have to do is BELIEVE what He had the Apostles write...

1Joh 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

Were more signs required for us to learn what we need to be Christians??? Did we need to learn more for Salvation??? Did we have to rely on anyone's tradition to learn of God and receive Salvation???Of course not...

Joh 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Everything is there in the Scriptures...The Spoatle John says so...Bow down and pray to Mary??? Is it written??? Absolutely Not... Do you need anything other than what is written in Scripture for Salvation??? Sola Scripture??? Absolutely Not...

Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

If you will believe what God had these people write down for us, with nothing added, You can KNOW that you have eternal life...Right now...

Come out from among them and learn what God has to say to you...

Of course not? That's it? Just "of course not?"

None of the passages you quote say that nothing else is necessary. Sola scriptura is not biblical.
