The problem with Scripture-only is that you are missing the primary teachings of Christ. Jesus taught orally, and so did the early Church. Paul is the first of the NT writings that we know of, only an early draft of Matthew might have preceded it.

IOW, the Gospel writers DIDN'T relate the primary teachings of Jesus in their accounts? They wasted their time on less important teachings of secondary matters?

They related many of them, sure. But the primary teachings were oral, not written.
