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.

Thus proving you have to go outside of Scripture for direction and simultaniously disproving sola scriptura.

Today's Gospel Mt 5:38-42

Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one to him as well. If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well. Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go with him for two miles. Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.”

Absolutely false. Jesus said, “the Spirit testifies of Me.” There is no going outside of Scripture when God, by His Spirit, inspires the human authors of Scripture to pen His word. It is the revealed word of God, just as Jesus is the incarnate Word. Thus, proving one need (must) not go outside of scripture for direction.

Or do you believe as some that God cannot successfully communicate His word by His Spirit through human authorship? Consider:

Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
