The overwhelming majority of your examples, are quotes of the Old Testament as prophecy.

The quotes at the bottom are mostly people in letters referring to the letters, or other letters.

Neither one undermines the role of the Church in teaching / interpreting Scripture or extracanonical / post canon teaching or revelations (words are tricky here).

And you misapply/overapply quotes in red.

“Everything that was written in the past was meant to teach us” is not the same as “Only things that are written are legitimate.”

And the 1 Corinthians4 quote, is not a general precept, but was specifically written to Corinth about playing “favorite disciple” games: as the very next sentence after the one in red indicates.

So true, but just what EXTRA stuff that Rome failed to put into the Book is needed to get a person to heaven?
