“Iscool is correct. It does not say *also helpful*.
Why did you add that? I find it incredibly ironic that Luther is castigated for *adding* *alone* to faith and yet here we have a Catholic adding words to Scripture that the context doesn’t even imply.”
See post 427.
“What is so important that God left out of Scripture that someone feels they need to add later?”
I missed where Elsie asked me that. I will answer here. Sorry, I guess I read it wrong.
The Assumption of Mary would be one answer to the question. Again, if all the miracles Jesus performed are not in Scripture it’s not too hard to see that this too might be omitted. Why?
Because the Scriptures are about Jesus. Their focus is on him. Not Mary.
It was in a rhetorical reply to another #422.
I had noted you answered a question that was not asked.
“What is so important that God left out of Scripture that someone feels they need to add later?”

Again, prattling on about Mary and some possibly omitted miacles is NOT answering the question:
1Co_4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
You do not heed the words of God...The bible speaks nothing of an assumption of Mary...Or Mary having a special sinlessness...You are not to think of Mary or Peter or Paul or Apollos above what has been written in the scriptures...THAT'S SCRIPTURE...
Your religion is built upon all these 'add-ons' that don't exist...Elevating people above what God has written to us about them...That's not the Christianity of the Bible...
