The fact that Jesus did not quote from any of the Apocrypha, but did quote from all the other OT books (except Song of Solomon) is one reason that I don’t accept the Apocrypha as inspired.

How about a reference to where Jesus said to write down what he was saying?

“How about a reference to where Jesus said to write down what he was saying?”

Are you doubting that Jesus wanted the Bible written? Or that he wanted the Gospels written?

I don’t think you’d find any Roman Catholics or Protestants who’d agree with you on that one!

If we believe in the inspiration of Scripture - and we do - and we believe the gospels are inspired - and we do - then we naturally believe God wanted them written. Otherwise He would not have inspired them.

Paul in 1st Corinthians 15 seems to accept the gospel accounts of Jesus as scripture, as he says

-For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas [Peter], then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethen at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; and last of all, as it were to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.-
