It is time for you to come out of the first covenant, which Jesus finished and made obsolete, and be obedient to his teachings in his own New Covenant.You are reading into that verse and ignoring other parts of scripture. Scripture clearly tells us not to go outside of God's Word. Isa 8:20
Jesus also in His own Words tells us if we keep our traditions over the commandments of God - quoting right from the Ten- one heart is far from Him- is that what a believer wants- to have our hearts far from God which is opposite of the New Covenant- God's law written by God in our hearts. Heb 8:10. While some traditions are fine- it's when they lead us away from God's Word Isa 8:20- away from God's commandments Mat 15:3-14- it is literally taking one down the wrong path and a path that leads one in a ditch Mat 15:14. We have free will, but its not the direction I would want to go. Jesus tells us not a jot or tittle can be removed from His law until all is fulfilled which is when Jesus returns. His teachings will lead us on the path back to Him we just need to place our faith in Him and trust His Word.
Scripture refutes your dogma of scripture alone! Scripture does not need to be stated any plainer than this:
2 Thessalonians 2:15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter.
Like I said before, I cannot continue a conversation with anyone who denies the fact that God's word was handed down by word-of-mouth tradition and by letter, aka scripture tradition. Both traditions are equally important.
