The point being, no where in the OT or the NT is Mary called the Ark of the Covenant"

She isn't called the mother of the second person of the Trinity but she is. Just as the Ark contained the Father's word so did Mary. Sorry, John wrote there were many things not written down, I accept that.

Let's keep it in context shall we?

John21:25

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.

Emphasis here is on what Jesus did. It does not give a license to start making stuff up. There is nothing in this text to even remotely suggest what the RCC and you are claiming here.

Not one of the writters of the NT alluded to this concept taught by the RCC.

To use your viewpoint of "John wrote there were many things not written down, I accept that.", opens up the door for practically any other cult to come in and make claims as to the things Jesus did.

Based on your logic of this verse, then you cannot deny Mormonism. All they have to do is to point this verse and claim that if the RCC bases their non-Biblical teachings on the "freedom" to interpret this verse does, how can you deny the book of mormon??

See how dangerous this becomes?

When you practice eisogesis, that is reading things into the text that aren't there, you quickly encounter error in understanding the Bible.
