Not everything Jesus said is in scripture. This is a common saying from RCs trying to defend their false beliefs. This is true but not about what God wants us to know. I mean the modern scientific discoveries are not in scripture, plane travel not in scripture etc. Of course not every conversation Jesus had is recorded, I am sure people said what would you like to eat and he answered. These types of conversations do not relate to what we need to know for our salvation.
However that is not what scripture says, it says:
John 20
30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe[b] that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
The passage is referring to all the things Jesus did. The healings He performed where not all recorded for example. However, RCs go well beyond scripture when they use that excuse for their false doctrines. There is no recording in scripture that we should pray to the dead anywhere in scripture. The prayers to Mary and other saints go well beyond what is in scripture. They use it to add to scriptures.
Just because something is not written in scripture does not mean it should be taught as coming from God. Why is Jesus not enough for RCs? He was enough for the apostles. Why the need to go beyond scripture? The warning in scripture not to go beyond it is to safeguard us from false teachings. The RCs cannot provide evidence of one apostle who prayed to Mary after she died. NOT ONE. Yet they try and pretend their institution is apostolic, it obviously isn't. Why break the commandment not to go beyond scripture?
Silence does not mean it can be added to scripture, just because something is not written in scripture does not mean it can be added if there is no evidence of the apostles doing it. That is just an excuse to go beyond scripture and to add to scripture. Both of those things are forbidden in scripture. This is one clear sign that the RCC is not His church at all.
