You belive in Scripture, correct?
 
Then why don't you believe this?
 

John 21: (We'll be using the KJV today to keep things on even footing): "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."

 

The Bible Itself declares that it doesn't contain everything.

>> “The Bible Itself declares that it doesn’t contain everything.” <<

.
It does no such thing!

You have completely twisted the meaning of the verse.

The verse says that John’s account doesn’t describe each and every adventure of the Lord’s life on Earth, but the Bible as a whole states in many places that it does contain everything that we need to find eternal life in the presence of God through belief in his Son.

We do...We just don't believe you...

So tell us...What other things did Jesus do...Surely he revealed them to your religion or you wouldn't keep pointing to the verse...

We can be sure that whatever other things Jesus did had nothing to do with our salvation because of these verses...

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.

1Jn 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.

Now these verses have been show directly to you many, many times...Yet you reject them...

Perhaps you have a spiritual block???

2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

I don't know of any other explanation for your refusal to acknowledge that everything we need to know for salvation is written in the scriptures just as John says...
