[Notwithstanding]

He gives us the bible so that we can be pefect - that is ALL the passage says. Nothing more, nothing less.

Only by adding to the passage (something you would hold to be sinful) can you conclude that NOTHING ELSE could contribute to our perfection.

The passage does NOT say that other things cannot also contribute to our perfection - yet you hold that very position - a position which is not present in this passage.

If you are "perfect", why do you need anything else? Perfection implies you can't get any better - you don't need to, you're already perfect! If I'm perfect, why do I need something else to make me "perfecter"? I don't! I'm already perfect through scripture!
