Actually Mark, I quoted Jesus to you.
Generally speaking, you guys post Paul, and then Isaiah. Rarely is Jesus posted, except in out of context snippets. I will say that in the specific post you did post John, and five verses in a row, at that. However, the verses did not address what you claimed; the Johannine verses I posted to you did address that subject; to which I have not seen you reply.
but we need to remember that all the words of scripture are equally inspired.
Only if you believe that the words of the Chroncler are equal to those quotations from Christ. As an orthodox Christian, I reject that view. And your statement is NOT supported anywhere in Scripture itself. Jesus is my Lord and Saviour and He is God. The words of Jesus are more important to me than, say, Obadiah.

They address that there will never be unity between the catholics and the Born again believers be they orthodox or protestants
Read it again mark
There will never be "unity" with the elect and the catholic church, only other un-regenerates will join Rome. The saved will never come, they resisted the inquisition, being on hit lists and being burned at the stake .. Jhn 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. Jhn 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. Jhn 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: Jhn 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. Jhn 10:29 My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.
HIS Sheep hear Him ..and follow HIM..not traditions , not popes and NO ONE can pluck them out of the hand of God.. They will not be deceived

Do you realize that the gospels are actually Old testament? They record for us that Jesus kept the jewish laws perfectly. They tell us about the miracles God preformed through Him preformed to verify His divinity
But the New Testament , the New Covenant began after the resurrection of Christ. The old testament was law keeping, the New testament is grace and mercy through the cross..
Mark some of the most important discourse that Christ had was never recorded.. it happened on the road to Emmaus when Christ revealed how all the OT pointed to Him
The entire scripture comes from God ...No one was following jesus around with a recorder.. God breathed the memories that were to be reported for our benefit in the scriptures..
2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Jesus thought the OT was inspired.. He quoted all the time.. "it is written"... "Mat 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"
