Let's look again at what the Scripture teaches about the Word of God -- remember that even in scripture nowhere does it reduce Gods' Word down to only the 73 books in the Bible - or Tim would be leaving out the book of Revelations, the Gospel of John and other later epistles.

2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours

and

2 Thess 3:6 We instruct you, brothers, in the name of [our] Lord Jesus Christ, to shun any brother who conducts himself in a disorderly way and not according to the tradition they received from us and 1 Peter 1:25 You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and abiding word of God,[k] 24 for: and all its glory like the flower of the field;
the grass withers,
and the flower wilts;
25
but the word of the Lord remains forever.” This is the word that has been proclaimed to you.> -- Note that LIVING Word of God, Jesus

and 2 Peter 1:20-21 20 [l]Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, 21 for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God. and Matthew 18:17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church.[n] If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. -- which goes to the point that it is sola verbum Dei - the Word of God alone.
