But...that's not at all the same as saying "these things were written so that you may know all the answers to questions on faith and morals." <br /><br />In otherwords, Whitaker has fallaciously expanded the scope of John 20:31 to 'all Christian doctrines' when it's really only focused on one doctrine, proving Jesus is Messiah.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453168437883536663noreply@blogger.com
