Where exactly does Scripture say that the Bible is incomplete? John 21:25 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. Where are these 'other' works called Scripture? Why would the apostles use anything else? |

Um...John specifically says here that these other works were NOT written down (hence the hypothetical clause beginning with the word "if"). Since they were not written down, they could not possibly qualify as "Scripture" (which by definition are holy WRITINGS). John merely says that there is a lot more to Jesus life than is written down. Since those things are not part of Scripture, obviously the Holy Spirit does not deem it necessary for us to know of them. The apostles did not need other NT books to "use." Having been Jesus' students for years (except Paul), they got their doctrine straight from the Source. Paul is included, too, as his teachings received the seal of approval from those who were of the original twelve. Just because a book is mentioned IN the Bible does not mean that the book should BE part of of the Bible. That is an unwarranted leap in logic. --Joe! |
