I post an early Christian theologian, Clement of Alexandria, who verifies that the higher mysteries were NOT written down as scriptural, but kept hidden from the uninitiated public, and you response is that you don't’ accept it because it’s not scripture.

He 'verified' nothing; merely made a statement. No one else seems to have had this viewpoint.

Yes, I did say verify, because secrets and mysteries are held back all throughout the scriptures.

And plenty held this viewpoint...
