“For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book”
—Revelation 22:18-19
The passage in Revelation tells me that adding to and taking from the The Revelation of Saint John the Theologian will either cost one's place in the book of life (for taking from the book) or add the plagues mentioned in the book for adding to it. There's no claim supporting SS in that is there?
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
-1 Timothy 3:15-17
Why did you miss verse 14? The quote reads better with it included thus:
You must keep to what you have been taught and know to be true; remember who your teachers were, and how, ever since you were a child, you have known the holy scriptures -from these you can learn the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and useful for refuting error, for guiding people's lives and teaching them to be upright. This is how someone who is dedicated to God becomes fully equipped and ready for any good work. (2 Timothy 3:14-17)
Where's the claim in that passage that SS is true or that holy scripture is sufficient for all your doctrine and practises?
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
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.
-2 Peter 1:18-21
As far as I can tell saint Peter is referring to his experience on the mount of transfiguration as confirming the teaching of the profits of the old covenant. You appear to have quoted from the KJV. I use a different bible which reads thus:
When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when a voice came to him from the transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. We ourselves heard this voice from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain. So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds. At the same time, we must recognise that the interpretation of scriptural prophecy is never a matter for the individual. For no prophecy ever came from human initiative. When people spoke for God it was the Holy Spirit that moved them. (2 Peter 1:16-21)
What saint Peter had to say in his teaching was far more clear than the words of the old covenant prophets because saint Peter was a witness to the life, teaching, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ while the old covenant prophets wrote of those things less clearly than saint peter's eye witness account. I wonder why anybody would think that this passage teaches something like SS when in fact it is teaching that the gospel confirms and expands the old covenant scriptures' testimony about the Lord Jesus Christ. As saint Paul says elsewhere, they (the old covenant saints) had a shadow but Christians have the reality. Clearly saint Peter is not teaching SS.
Jesus' testimony
Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth
-John 17:17
Affirming that what God says is the truth is slightly different from affirming that only what is written is truth. The Lord says "you word is truth" not "the scriptures are truth". I do not deny that holy scripture is truth but it is far from being the only place where truth resides.
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
-Psalm 119:142
That alone, that God's truth according to scripture is righteousness, is the believer's standard of truth
Christ states forty six times "It Is Written" underscoring the importance.
Doesn't it seem odd that Christ totally accepted the authority of the Old Testament as evidenced by His own words
Matthew 5:17-18
“Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. For verily, I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled.”
He left no room for traditions
Proverbs 30:5-6:
“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”
Mark 7:13 “You are making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such things do ye.”
It's God's word alone that He has shown to be pure and uncontaminated and we're not to add to it
Isaiah 8:20
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
The importance of the written word is also a testimony of love as Jesus Christ also pointed out
John 14:23-24
Jesus answered and said to him, "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keeps not my sayings; and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent Me”
Matthew 24:35
And then again “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words shall not pass away”
I may return to comment on the other passages you quoted but since the first ones in your post are not directly relevant to the topic of SS perhaps you have some other passage or passages that actually do address the matter of this thread? If you do then maybe we can move on to them rather than write long posts about texts that do not teach SS? If you don't have any passage teaching SS then we can move on and see what the real source of the doctrine is.
