One other thing: John 14:26 says the comforter will teach us all things. The comforter, not Scripture. If indeed Scripture was the only thing needed to learn about the Truth, then why would Jesus send the Comforter? Why not just tell his disciples, “Read the Bible”?

Why does your religion then have a catechism??? Why does it have missals??? Why is there church history written from the church fathers??? Why doesn't the Holy Spirit just jump into someones mind when they want to speak of things of God???

Obviously the Holy Spirit was sent to refresh the memories of the disciples so when they wrote these things down, they were 100% accurate...

Joh_14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Clearly Jesus was speaking to the apostles and disciples in his presence...Did the disciples ever tell anyone else that the Holy Spirit would be teaching them in the future??? Nope...

Amazing!

How do you know your interpretation of Scripture is correct then? Are you one of the Apostles using a time machine?

Actually, that's part of the requirement for the theory of sola scriptura.
