BK: So does Christ... There’s no direct mention of him after the Gospels. Does that mean that Paul replaces Christ? Nonsense.
No direct mention of Christ after the gospels?????
Please tell me that you're not really saying that and meant something else.

There is a month full of Scriptures that say otherwise. Perhaps you do not read past Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. There is a whole age that is happening right now, before your very eyes, that would transform your life and your opinion of Christ, God's Word of truth, and the past, present, and future of mankind. ALL of which centers on Jesus Christ. ALL of which glorifies God and explains what is happening while Christ is seated on the right hand of God, patiently waiting for the last member of the Body of Christ to be saved.
The last direct mention of Christ is in Acts 1:10, his Ascension.
All the references to Christ in the Epistles refer back to the Gospels, or as in the case of Revelations, to events that are yet to come.
Does this mean that Christ is shuffled off to the back? Hardly. As John warns you, “there were many things that Christ did that were not written down in this book”.
The same is true, even moreso, of the Apostles and the Early Church. Just because it doesn’t appear in scripture does not mean that it did not happen.
