****whoever said we couldn’t use extra Biblical writings?****

So, just to be clear here, it is okay with you if one uses extra Biblical writings to verify something the Bible does not actually say?

And for any KJV-only people who claim both it and the Textus Receptus inspired: the original contained the Apocrypha, so I guess those are inspired, too.

Verify something the Bible doesn’t say? NO. Anything has to agree with scripture and not contradict scripture. If you are thinking of something like the bodily assumption of Mary it contradicts scripture. We can use anything we want to help understand scripture but it cannot contradict scripture.

Where do you think the statement of Paul came from and what it meant when he said “they searched the scriptures daily to see if these things be true”?
