You belive in Scripture, correct?

 

Then why don't you believe this?

 

John 21: (We'll be using the KJV today to keep things on even footing): "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."

 

The Bible Itself declares that it doesn't contain everything.

“The Bible Itself declares that it doesn’t contain everything.”

God’s sovereign choice NOT to include what was not needed by the Church and by Christians.

Nobody ever said that the Bible contains everything.

Show me ONE post from a non-Catholic that states that the Bible tells us EVERYTHING.

Scripture does, however, contain everything we need so that the man of God is .

2 Timothy 3:14-17 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

And all that is really needed to learn for salvation is found in the book of John.

John 20:30-31 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Additionally, that does not give anyone the right to make up stuff as they go and claim it's true simply because the Bible doesn't say it didn't happen.

And the CHURCH declares that the Bible 'contains' EVERYthing that is needed for salvation.

Well, of course I believe that. In fact, I love that passage like I do many others. But what that was left out would contradict or be inconsistent with what’s been revealed? Nothing would.
