No rather Gal 1:6-9 that even if "an apostle or an angel from heaven " comes to you preaching something-- you STILL have to test it against scripture - "to SEE IF" it is so. As I noted here #304
Paul takes the highest most reliable sources known to mankind and says even THEY must be tested.
No, St. Paul have to test it against the Gospel they taught. “if any come to you preaching a different Gospel from the one we have taught, let them be anathema.”
And we know what "they taught" because we see it in the scriptures they wrote. So for us it is still "sola scriptura testing" just as it was in Acts 17:11 when Paul himself was tested - sola scriptura.
There are numerous counterfeit Gospels using the same Bible
The flaw in that case is not in the Bible - it is in failure to do the sola-scriptura test. Christ points this same thing out in Mark 7:6-13. "invalidating the Word of God" - via the "traditions of man".
The Jehovah’s Witnesses it turns out didn’t need to alter John 1:1,
I have seen Jehovah's witnesses converted based on sola scriptura testing - but I have never seen one convert based on saying "choose to believe what such-and-such a denomination teaches and not what you see the Bible teaching - since that denomination always says they are right".
