Then you mean only the "red letters," which is absurd, as He Himself said He had many more things to reveal, while even the red letters were not written by Him, but the Holy Spirit who sometimes rephrased or otherwise expanded or contracted what He said, as seen by the accounts of the Lord's trial.
Moreover, the gospels do not provide clarity in many things, and beg for interpretation, which the rest of the NT works to provide, and without it cults (and Rome) would have a field day.
And they are very sparse on things such as ecclesiology and eschatology.
what do you mean "cults (and Rome)would have a field day?"
I think Rome's been having a field day since around the 3rd or 4th century.

And they are very sparse on things such as ecclesiology and eschatology.
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Do you know of any one who honor these two simple commandments which takes in the rest of the commandments?
You can write a hundred thousand words to explain them but they are so simple that Jesus explained them in the little old parable of the sheep and goats Matt 25:31 to 46
This is all we need, we do not have to have a DR.s certificate, a masters degree or any thing else, that’s it.
He had many more things to reveal,>>>>>
Yes he told his twelve apostles.
John 16
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Peter wrote down some things to come and John wrote Revelation and it does not change our way to salvation any at all.
So my question to you would be if there is something else we need to know why didn’t John Or peter tell us?
