Today,
reply is on the fullness of Christ, and the appearance of divine
revelation as incomplete. For many Christian believers having faith
is not a matter of knowing all the details of doctrine and teaching
from the Bible; more important are having the correct expectation,
hope, sharing of respect, and trust that GOD will provide forgiveness
and mercy despite all our human shortcomings. Taken together, even
fragments and a few things shared among Christian believers provide
authentic witness pertaining to Jesus Christ, corroborate and support
one another, are graphic and memorable, and can be discerned as
containing righteousness, spirit content, and aspects of the divine
nature. Jesus is alive and present through endowments from the
Spirit of Truth now abiding in the earth as his representative. It
is written: Colossians 1: 15-20, King James Version (KJV): 15 Who
is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that
are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones,
or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created
by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all
things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who
is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things
he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father
that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace
through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto
himself; by him, I say, whether they be things
in earth, or things in heaven. One of the many fighters at “Yahoo!

The
Bible says Jesus “did many other things” that werent recorded in
scripture”. Does that mean Bible may not contain all of Jesus
teaching?
John
21:25
There
are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be
described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain
the books that would be written.

Doesn’t
that destroy “Bible alone”?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches
of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is
the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in
Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his
own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all
principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that
is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be
the head over all things to the church, Which is his body,
the fulness of him that filleth all in all. (Ephesians 1: 17-23,
KJV)

more than through the ancient Scriptures, the Salvation of GOD is to
be in the life as an ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ. The
principle of “the Bible alone” speaks to the authority for
complete and correct sacred knowledge being found with the
library of sixty-six books provided by GOD, rather than the
Apocrypha, secular documents and materials developed by historians,
scholars, and other writers who may not be providing discussion under
the direction of divinity. The process and substance of revelation
must be understood as deriving from divine Spirit, and is accepted,
endorsed, and promoted through the inseparable aspects that make up
divine fullness. Included are balance, faith, holiness,
longsuffering, lovingkindness, oneness without sameness, personhood,
wisdom, and wrath against sin. Sinners who turn to God through Jesus
Christ are not required to become all-knowing, yet, all who become
born-again are expected to “grow up again” to be harvested from
the earth by the Lord at his appearing (the Advent; the Rapture; the
Second Coming). While living on the earth, developing and mature
believers are to ripen for harvest through commitment,
discovery, gradual growth, sacred practice, unselfish service, and
suffering. In addition to divine law and sacred instruction,
believers are provided with admonition, challenge, correction,
judgment, rebuke, and sorrowing for sin. Consider again the
following that uses language from the Bible, and a presentation from
the music ministry of Wintley Phipps:
(1.)
Deuteronomy 29: 29, King James Version (KJV): 29 The secret
things belong to the Lord our God but those things which
are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever,
that we may do
all the words of this law.
(2.)
Hebrews 12: 6-9, KJV: 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure
chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he
whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement,
whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us,
and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in
subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
(3.)
Philippians 3: 7-14, KJV: 7 But what things were gain to me, those
I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things
but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus
my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do
count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in
him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that
which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of
God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his
resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made
conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto
the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already
attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I
may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect:
but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am
apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have
apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those
things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which
are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.)

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
