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.

Why ignore John 20:30-31?

30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 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.

Jesus did a lot not written in Scripture, but what was written is sufficient for belief and life.

If scripture wasn't sufficient, why didn't the people that knew the additional information that was required write it down?

What does it matter that everything wasn't recorded? Why would a two thousand game of telephone be more reliable that a written record that is sufficient for belief?

Option A: Scripture, sufficient for belief, says...

Option B: Person 1 says that person 2 said that person 3 said that person 4 said that person 5 said that person 6 said that person 7 said that person 8 said that person 9 said that ... that person 120 said that Peter said that "I am the rock and my successors will rule the church until the end."

Option A please.

Please take time to READ this Sal, Not things He taught or said..but things HE DID ..words mean things ........

On more time Sal ..Signs, things...not teachings or traditions ...

The teachings that God wanted to leave for us were brought to the mind of the mind of the NT writers.. just as Christ ha promised

Joh 14: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
