The NT establishes all aspects of the Church, including its doctrine. But the NT does not contain all that Christ taught. The Church does, including what's in the scriptures.

Agreed: in the early church and continueing today, invoking scriptures has been just one part of the celebration of the last supper and the teaching of God's new convenant as defined and defended in the Apostles Creed. St Paul did not quote St Paul: he was a spirit-filled teacher whose writings we are lucky enough to have retained in written form as well as in tradition.
