Why do you suppose John didn’t write anything along the lines ofLets take a look at the book, the Gospel according to St.John-Code:.
Catholics will say, and they are correct to say, that there was no need to compose of a written account of Jesus after his accension into heaven. This was because those in the Jerusalem region were witnesses of Jesus and well aware of his ministry.
Why would St. John ever find the need to write a gospel book about Jesus? Think about it. He knew what was the truth. Im also pretty sure he would want nothing but the gospel of Jesus to remain true after he was gone. John was jewish, he knew of the book of Genesis and its story of Adam and Eve.
Anyways, when Jesus’ gospel of salvation spread beyond Jerusalem, and the eyewitness were no longer accessible, it is obvious that John must of felt the need to compose a written account to keep believers inspired to Jesus and to yes, to use his account to witness to all those down through the ages.
- “Amen, amen I say to you, there will be many letters and Gospels coming; Letters which will reach your towns to instruct you in the ways of God; These letters will be all you and your sons and their sons and their sons shall need for instruction; All peoples shall rightly infer their meaning because they are from God;” *

Why do you suppose everything about Sola Scriptura is so frustratingly oblique?!?

I am the bread of life.
49
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
50
this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.
51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
52
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us (his) flesh to eat?”
53
Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
54
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
55
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
57
Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
58
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

Words directly from Jesus. Directly from Jesus! How can all these self-described “bible christians” not be considered hypocrites?
