Just because it was the only recorded one doesn’t mean many requests didn’t happen. That was the role of the Queen Mother to bring requests to the King.
Just because it isn’t written didn’t mean it didn’t happen.
“There were also a great number of other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book.”
lol. That kind of logic results in a world of confusion, contradiction, fantasy, error and insignificance.
The word of God tells us exactly what we need to know of God and life and salvation. If it's not in Scripture, it's not for us to know.
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book" -- Rev. 22:18
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." -- 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you." -- Deuteronomy 4:2
Would you be asking Queen Mother Bathsheba to bring your request to the king after he what had just happened to Adonijah??? I don't think that she was taking any more requests after that disaster.
That was the role of the Queen Mother to bring requests to the King.
Baloney -- it was their role to stay out of the King's business. The Queen's interferences in the business of the King resulted in more disasters than can be recounted -- aka Queen Jezebel and King Ahab.
Queen Esther's request was honored but that was an exception to the rule rather than the rule. It was touch-and-go for her and she knew it was not her role to make requests. She was also not the Queen Mother but the King's wife -- perhaps that had something to do with it.
Just because it isn’t written didn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Without witnesses, how would you know that it happened at all. Try that reasoning of yours in a court of law sometime when someone presents documented evidence and witnesses against you.
You cut that verse off too quickly. The 2nd half reads:
"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."
God won't hold you accountable for the things that Jesus performed that are not written in this book, but He will hold you accountable for the things that are written in this book.
Your right, maybe Mary was a space alien and jesus was an in vitro conception,
“There were also a great number of other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book.”
Seeing the Bible is a work of God, why do you suppose all the things were NOT recorded? Perhaps there are things we are NOT SUPPOSED to know, or maybe scripture contains an overview of ALL the work of Christ.
The Bible contains all we need to know to come to faith in Christ and be saved, it reveals all God wants us to know about Himself
