No, but I can show you the verse that says He did many other things. I mean, He preached and traveled around for at least three years, and surely much of what He said was worth listening to, not just the Gospels, which can easily be read in one sitting.
John 21:25 -
"But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written."

You brought it up and there are at least three different canons of scripture out there, used variously by different sects.

I consider the impact of Catholicism in Canada has been overwhelmingly negative and in order for me to convert it would require the Church be turned on it's head.
The Vatican throws out some apologies here and there whenever they get bad press but the residential school suspected mass-graves that First Nations are not allowed to excavate is a line in the sand for me.
Looking South, I'm not very impressed with Protestants history with the natives either.
I don't know enough about Orthodox/Anglicanism to pass judgement, but suffice it to say that the Christians here have poisoned the well for me.
How does one speak to their worthiness when no one has any idea what they are?
I'm not finicky. Feel free to pick one and cite that.

Nope not going to because I don't believe in sola scriptura.

You know, I would personally like to hear more about the life of Jesus, but hey, that's just me.
Neither do I. Fortunately, I wasn't asking for that. I was asking for it to be used to supplement a claim.
Me, too. When you hear it, feel free to share it.

OK but I have yet to hear it. Oh well. One day I believe I will understand everything.Me, too. When you hear it, feel free to share it.

Oh well, I am not going to try to help that person out by supplying a scripture, since I don't believe in scripture only.
Probably Anglicanism (or shall I just call them Episcopals?), since they have the best overall understanding of the need for laicism.

Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
I would never in a million years become a Christian. However, if I ever did, it would have to be either Eastern Orthodoxy or Catholicism because those are the two branches that trace back in a direct line to the churches established by the Apostles. I prefer Orthodoxy's stronger tradition against having a pope, but the problem with Orthodoxy is that each church is territorial rather than universal. Both also have an oral tradition that assists them in interpreting ambiguous ideas in their scriptures, which makes practical sense to me. Look at how Protestantism fractures into tens of thousands of denominations directly due to that they insist on Bible only. And Anglicanism... A sect begun by a man who wanted a divorce? I'm supposed to take that seriously?
