Was there any drastic difference between what Our Lord commanded the Apostlesto teach and what the New Testament contains?
Our Lord commanded His Apostles toteach all things whatsoever He had commanded; Matt. 28:20. His Church must necessarilyteach everything; John 14:26. However, the Protestant Bible itself teaches that the Bibledoes not contain all of Our Lord’s doctrines: John 20:30 – And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples,which are not written in this book. John 21:25 – And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, ifthey should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not containthe books that should be written. Amen. Comment: How would it have been possible for second century Christians to comply withOur Lord’s command, if private interpretation of an unavailable and only partial account ofChrist’s teaching were indispensable? 5.
