Ok. Just a couple for example. 2 Chron 19:11.
Malachi 2:7.
But further, I’d recommend challenging the premise that “Everything we need to know about Christianity must come from the Bible.”

Whose Bible? The Jews? Even in Christ’s time they fought over the cannon. Various Christian sects? We don’t have the Letters of Clement, Gospel of Peter, Shepherd of Hermas in the Bible. But says who?

Yet I t was always there in the beginning. In seed form. A mustard seed as Our Lord tells it. The Gospel delivered to the Saints, once for all.
