That passage doesn’t refer to all of Scripture. It specifically says it refers to that scroll of prophecy.

You are correct. However, we are not given ‘artistic freedom’ to edit what we what out of the Bible. S. Michael Houdmann (www.gotquestions.org) expounds upon the danger of distorting God’s Word:
Although the warning in Revelation 22:18-19 is specific to the Book of Revelation, the principle applies to anyone who seeks to intentionally distort God’s Word.
Moses gave a similar warning in Deuteronomy 4:1-2, where he cautioned the Israelites that they must listen to and obey the commandments of the Lord, neither adding to nor taking away from His revealed Word.
Proverbs 30:5-6 contains a similar admonition to anyone who would add to God’s words: he will be rebuked and proven to be a liar.
Although the warning in Revelation 22:18-19 applies specifically to the Book of Revelation, its principle must be applied to the entire revealed Word of God. We must be careful to handle the Bible with care and reverence so as to not distort its message.
