So tired of this. Just back up a chapter to John 20.
John 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
So the scriptures don't record everything, but they record enough for belief and salvation What value are the things not recorded? More belief? More salvation? Please. This is so tired.
Just because Jesus did something that wasn't recorded means nothing. If you believe otherwise, why? It's not because of the scriptures. They contain enough for belief and salvation, and they put no value on things not recorded. It's not because of tradition. I do not know of a single action of Jesus that isn't in the scriptures, but is part of tradition that would make a hill of beans of difference.
It's a fun poke to point to John 20 and 21, but it signifies nothing. It's really just sad and proves that context doesn't matter to Catholics.
Thank you for posting this. It was my next post. (Just the Bible part.)
John 20
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 that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
The catholic carte blanch card! Don't leave home without it.
