I played musical churches in my young life. I was baptized in a Nazarene church, went to a private Baptist school, and later in life I spent time at a Catholic church and I found it interesting how the Bible’s were different and then there was the NIV version, and a couple other versions I think. Anyway, I was a lukewarm church goer at best, but I find ALL beliefs interesting. I also find it hard to believe that God has shown us all we will ever need to know. That is just my opinion though.

“I also find it hard to believe that God has shown us all we will ever need to know.”

Why?

But, he has shown us all we will ever need to know about salvation. Without that all other inquiries are moot.

You didn’t mention where you ended up in a denomination.

Your remark about only the Bible — that’s why the Bible says that not all things are written down......in three places.

Thus, the Catholic Church maintains the belief in Holy Tradition. Check out the Catholic Apologetics Threads — the Bible is coming up in the series.

That's a nice thought, but it puts your viewpoint at odds with scripture. "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Not my words.

He has told us THIS; I don't know what else might be NEEDED.

John 6

28. Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"
29. Jesus answered,
"The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
