“No, they believed that Torah and Tanach were scripture and that to add to them was forbidden.”
Which is immediately refuted by the very fact that they referred to their writings as scripture and quoted them alongside the Books of Moses. I’m not sure why you ignored it just to quote me and disagree.
It was forbidden to add on to the first books of Moses by man. But then, it was not Man that saw to the adding of all the other books of the Old Testament right afterwards. Neither is the New Testament, which was composed by the same Spirit.

No, that corruption came when the Hebrew originals were translated into Greek.
All of the bizzare anomalies of the NT seem to be of that nature.
I’m not saying that the apostles writings are not inspired; just that the term scripture was reserved.
It was forbidden to amend/add notes in the books, no injunct against adding books.
