"Paying attention to what is and is not in the Scriptures is adding to the Scriptures?"

Scriptures are only an incomplete reflection of the Word. They are important only in that they give testimony to God. Jesus is found in the Eucharist and Grace in the Sacraments.

"You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life." - - John 5:39-40

"Scriptures are only an incomplete reflection of the Word. They are important only in that they give testimony to God. Jesus is found in the Eucharist and Grace in the Sacraments."

II Tim 3:16,17, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for correction, for training in righteousness that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."

I'll defer to the Scriptures over your opinion that we need your organization, my FRiend. Even though your private interpretation is that this is my "private interpretation". An "adequate" interpretation is better than an "incomplete" interpretation. And, I certainly want to find eternal life in Jesus, or rather as Paul said, to be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own, but a righteousness from Him.
