No one here has denied that anyone should NOT read what Jesus said, have they? The mistake is in ONLY reading what the four gospels say Jesus said and did, and there were MANY things Jesus did that were not written down, as John said. Because if they were, the WORLD could not contain all the books that could be written! The Holy Spirit, as Jesus promised, continued to inspire and lead the Apostles and disciples into further revelation that needed to be taught and written down so that we, nearly two thousand years later, have everything those first believers had to know the truth of the Christian faith.

As the Apostle John concluded in his gospel:

Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (John 20:30,31)

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. (John 21:25)

Yes Jesus did many other signs and wonders which were not written.

But these are written that you will believe that Jesus is the messiah, they were written and we believe.

Here is my comment
That is why Christians need to spend more time reading the four Gospels.

I did not say we should not read anything else, are people offended with something Jesus said?

The gospel is all we need for our salvation, the apostles preached that gospel in their own way.

Any one believing we need something besides Jesus maybe should read the gospels again.
