The Holy Scripture is a written expression of the Holy Tradition that preceded it and is a larger body of knowledge, as the scripture itself teaches:

there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written. (John 21)

Yes, and many of the things which Jesus did which are none of our business. What is important is Scripture teaches us all we need.

Where do you find a Scriptural suggestion that we "add" to Scripture as we see fit?

In a nutshell, Old Reggie. Amen!

Not one RC in all of history has yet to show Christians one belief, practice or article of faith that is NOT found in Scripture.

And yet they keep trying by hoodwinking the masses to look beyond the word of God to see what is not there.

Mesmerism and magick.

But that assertion is not in the scripture. You added it to the scripture, it seems.

Nowhere. It is heresy to either add or subtract from the scripture. It is further a heresy to teach contrary to the scripture, like the Protestants do with their "faith alone". When the Church teaches things that are part of the Tradition, or are present day magisterial teaching, she is not pretending it is scripture. It is what it is.
