Every word of significance of the apostles is written.

"18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
Everything we need to know is recorded in the Bible.

It’s also written, the very same admonishment, in Deuteronomy, at the end of Torah.

He means it.

Everything we need to know is recorded in the Bible.

Not according to the Bible:

1) 1 Corinthians 11:2: ". . . keep the ordinances, as I delivered {them} to you." Paul in writing, orders the Corinthians to observes teachings transmitted orally.

2) 2 Thessalonians 2:15: ". . . hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." Same here. Oral teachings

3) 2 Thessalonians 3:6: "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us." Oral teachings.

4) 1 Corinthians 15:1-3: "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received." Again -- Paul calls the people to follow an oral teaching.

5) 1 Thessalonians 2:13: ". . . when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received {it} not {as} the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God." Oral teaching from the apostles is the equivalent of the word of God.

6) Jude 3: ". . . ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." Oral teaching is the path to salvation. The Bible says so.

Shall I go on? I think I will.

7) Lk 1:1-5 those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus, that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed. Luke assures us that the original oral teaching is reliable.

8) Rom 6:17 But God be thanked that [though] you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. You do this, right? You obey doctrine delivered to you even if not written? Your salvation is riding on it.

9) 1 Cor 11:23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you Paul verifies the authenticity of his oral teaching. Don't you think a Christian should want to know everything that Paul received from the Lord?

10) Gal 1:9ff But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. Anyone who preaches a gospel differing from Paul's ORAL PREACHING is "accursed". Something to think about next time you feel like a little faith-sharing.

11) 2 Pet 2:21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known [it,] to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. People who have turned away from Peter's oral teachings are better off with no gospel at all.

12) Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? There is no apostolic origin in the Protestant ministry. They are not sent by God.

13) John 20:30 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; The apostles know more than you do.

14) John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. The apostles know more than you do.

15) 2 John 1:12 Having many things to write to you, I did not wish [to do so] with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. John saves his best stuff for the oral teaching. The Bible says so, so it must be true.

16) Matthew 17:5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"How do we do that?

17) Luke 10:16 "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me. If you do not "hear" the apostles, you do not hear the Lord.

18) Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Peter received in the keys a mandate given to no other disciple.

19) Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. The power of binding and loosing belongs to the apostles, not to all followers of Jesus.

20) Luke 24:45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures. The apostles know more than you do.

21) Matthew 13:11 And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. The apostles know more than you do.

22) Luke 8:10 he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. The apostles know more than you do.

23) 1 Timothy 3: 14-15 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you so that, if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth. The pillar and bulwark of the truth is not the Bible. It is the Church.

24) 2 Peter 1:20 First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation. Scriptural interpretation contrary to the Church descended from the Apostles is invalid.

25) 2 Peter 3:16 There are some things in [Paul’s epistles] hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. Scriptural interpretation contrary to the Church descended from the Apostles is invalid.

The problem with you protestants is that you reject the Bible. You shouldn't do that. It's dangerous.
