In 2 Timothy the scripture is called profitable, that is, somethig needed in addition to something else. The man of God then becomes perfect as he completes his formation by the study of the scripture. Therefore is says the opposite: that the scripture is a necessary but not sufficient component of faith formation.

2 Tim 2:15 simply urges people to study.

In Heb 4, no claim of sufficency is made.

We all agree that the scripture has a unique role in faith formation and in settling arguments.

“In 2 Timothy the scripture is called profitable, that is, somethig needed in addition to something else”

Please give me one cite to scripture that says either tradition or the church can make one wise unto salvation.

2 Tim. 3:15, “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”

Mar 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, [as] the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Mar 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Mar 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers

I think this will pass the grammar police’s test.
