Where does the bible say there is more to know than what is written in these words?

..or something like that?

I've heard it before, but I've never seen it. Either way I'm sure its in reference to that specific book probably? Can you tell me where it says something like that please?

    John 16:12

    "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now."

    It mentions in Revelations that no more words should be added or taken away, but this does not mean that it contains "all knowledge". Such a claim would make it immediately and blatantly false, as opposed to the current case where you have to look a bit to show that it is false.

    john 21:25- States that Jesus did many more things than are listed in this book and if you were to write them all down the whole world would not have room for all the books written.

    The Bible doesn't say that because there is nothing more than what God has already said and written down, although many cults, such as the Mormons will say that they have new revelation and further books. This is deception. Don't believe it. We don't need anymore. God has already said everything He is going to say

    sounds better if you leave out that redundant 'what',as in,". . .there is more to know than [----] is written in these words" . .you can probably find that quote in that compendium thing that accompanies the Bible . .what's the dingdang thing called? Something like a 'companion' or somesuch . .

    Could you be thinking of this verse?

    "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written."

    John 21:25

    Hi,

    Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

    You mean the Bible is the best they could come up with, out of all that? The Bible needs new editors.

    it shows that humans have very little knowledge(compared to God) and God's knowledge is so great, that it fills more than humans can ever possibly imagine.

    That would be Shakespeare and the quote is "there is more between heaven and earth Horacio than man has dreamed of
