Which books of the bible are you suggesting are unimportant (since, as you say, Jesus didn’t tell anyone to write them down)?

But, of course, He did tell all those that recorded the books that make up the scriptures to indeed write them down—by His Spirit.

You said,
‘Don’t you think if it was that important He would have told us to follow the book that would be written?”

Yes. He said at one point to the Jews, “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” And, of course later He said, “Follow Me.” (emphasis on the “Me”)

Where does it say that? Are you making this up? Chapter and verse please.

***Yes. He said at one point to the Jews, “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” ***

Testimony is not all encompassing. It by itself does not necessarily consitute proof. It is evidence.

***And, of course later He said, “Follow Me.” ***

To the Apostles, to which He later told them to go to the whole world.
