I’m not arguing with you, just pointing out that sola scriptura is not only not biblical, but is flat out against what Christ said.

"I’m not arguing with you", Yes you are. be honest.

"just pointing out that sola scriptura is not only not biblical, but is flat out against what Christ said."

Three times in the Bible it warns against adding to the Words of God. Deut. 4:2, Prov. 30:5,6 and Rev 22:18,19.

2 peter 1:20 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Tell me Cronos did God speak to you or your Pope to contradict the Bible? What oral tradition or mans words do you want me to believe? The Bible says His Words are pure, a lamp unto my feet. Can you say the same about what your Church teaches?

Nope, not arguing - just pointing out that sola scriptura is not biblical.

Deut 4:2 is only about the Mosaic Laws - read it

Now, Israel, hear the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. 2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.
Prov 30:5-6 is referring to purely the Old Testament -- if you say "every word of God" to a text written in 1000 BC, that means that you reject the New Testament books in their entirety

Rev 22:18-19 is specifically and ONLY about the book of revelation.

Sticking to Rev 22:18-19 —> don’t you realize that “the book” referred to is just the book of the Revelation of the Apocalypse of St. John of Patmos?

It does not mean the COLLECTION of books called the Bible.

Do you realize that?
