John 21:24-25 This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.
Iscool is correct. It does not say *also helpful*.
Why did you add that? I find it incredibly ironic that Luther is castigated for *adding* *alone* to faith and yet here we have a Catholic adding words to Scripture that the context doesn't even imply.
And as Elsie pointed out in post 422, you did not answer this question. Wanna try again?
What is so important that God left out of Scripture that someone feels they need to add later?

See post 427.

I missed where Elsie asked me that. I will answer here. Sorry, I guess I read it wrong.
The Assumption of Mary would be one answer to the question. Again, if all the miracles Jesus performed are not in Scripture it’s not too hard to see that this too might be omitted. Why?
Because the Scriptures are about Jesus. Their focus is on him. Not Mary.
