“Gee, I wonder how the Apostles and first Christians survived without that Bible?”
Since the Apostles were scripture producers, and claimed to be writing scripture in the first place, I imagine they survived quite well.
“Um..one other thing...where does the Bible state that it contains the COMPLETE teachings and/or that we need nothing else?”
Try re-reading my post again before asking me to repeat myself.
I did read your post and saw nothing that stated we needed nothing else besides the Bible.
You stated: Since the Apostles were scripture producers, and claimed to be writing scripture in the first place, I imagine they survived quite well.
Hmmmm...well when Paul was writing...did the Christian communities (or even the rest of the Aposltes and disciples) have access to all the books of the Bible? When did they first have access to the Bible? Exactly how many years went by in the history of Christianity before there was a Bible?
