Completely misses the part about going outside the written word.
Deut. 4:2.....“You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take anything from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deuteronomy 12:32 “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.”
Proverbs 30:5-6 “Every word of God is pure; he is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.”
Revelation 22:18-19 “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Where is the Bible ALONE part?

Besides, John was referring to the book of Revelation, which he was in the process of writing.
You are arguing for the authority of Scripture. No one is disputing that.
The argument is over the authority of Scripture ALONE. The "alone" part was the novel aspect of Luther's doctrine.
""He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me" -- Jesus to the Apostles
"If he will not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector." -- Jesus
"...which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth." -- St. Paul
"’But the word of the Lord abides for ever.’ That word is the good news which was preached to you" -- St. Paul
"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures. . . . Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed" -- St. Paul
"stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter" -- St. Paul
"[W]hat you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" -- St. Paul
Scripture, Apostolic Tradition and Church Teaching are true Christian Authorities.
"Deuteronomy 12:32 “Whatever I command you, be careful
to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from
it.”
If I'm following your argument correctly, who had the
authority to add the other Scriptures after Deuteronomy?
