It doesn't detract from Scripture. It detracts from the argument that the truth of the Church is contained exclusively in the Scripture.

Not without:
A. Knowing what Paul said to them, which we don't.
#2. Knowing that he said something to them that is important doctrinally but not contained in the Scriptures, which we also don't.

#3. I can think of no place in the bible where it suggests there is some important doctrine that is held by the church and not contained in the bible.

I can think of at least one: the doctrine of the Trinity. Yes, Jesus commissions His apostles to "baptize in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," but nowhere does it say "God is a Holy Trinity."
