Examine the Verse
John 21:25
This verse is claimed to imply support to the Trinitarian belief in the the
pre-existence and/or divinity of Jesus Christ.

	And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.  (John 21:25, New King James Version)
	Trinitarian Belief in God and Jesus Christ:  Trinitarians believe in the Trinity, that God is the "Triune God" existing as three persons― God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, but one being. All three are eternal with no beginning. Members of the Trinity are co-equal and co-eternal, one in essence, nature, power, action, and will. Trinitarians believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal second person "God the Son", who took on a human body and nature and became both man and God.  Thus is Jesus is fully man and fully God simultaneously.
	Apostle's admonition, warning and unique way of teaching: 1. No prophecy of scripture is a matter of personal interpretation. (II Pt. 1:20, NAB) 2. Do not go beyond  what is written. (I Cor. 4:6, NIV)  3. We do not use words of human wisdom. We speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. (1 Cor. 2:13, NLT)

	Points to Consider:
	1.  How can things that are not written be made to prove the pre-existence of Christ? 2.  How can you prove the pre-existence and/or the divinity of Christ Jesus without any biblical basis at all? 3.  Is it not, that "what is written" is more important according to Apostle John (John 20:31)? 4.  Is the verse really about the divinity of Jesus or something else?

	And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.  (King James Version) Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.  (New International Version) You may use other version or translation of the Holy Bible.
