I corrected his misrepresentation of the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura, which doesn’t purport that Scripture contains “everything”. That’s not what it means. For instance, Sola Scriptura doesn’t claim that the Bible tells us what Christ had for breakfast on his 10th birthday. That would fall under the umbrella of “everything”, and the Bible doesn’t tell us that. Using the term “everything” with regard to Sola Scriptura is misleading and/or erroneous.

What do I think Scripture contains? Doctrine, history, Wisdom, poetry, law, prophesy. I would also say that it contains the Word of God, but that isn’t quite right: it IS the Word of God, it doesn’t contain it. Why?

Everything pertaining to our relationship with Yehova.

If it didn’t, where would we get it?
