This presupposes that God's word is *only* scripture (which is not what these verses say). It also presupposes that you are only supposed to use the words in the Bible (which is also not what these verses say).

There is no prescription in scripture for what books are supposed to constitute the Bible. How does one know what books belong in the Bible if the Bible doesn't tell you and you're only allowed to use the Bible to know this?

This makes your last verse very difficult, considering it was written by John before the new Testament was assembled (and perhaps before it was even finished being written). You are ascribing the warning in Revelation to all of the Bible after the fact, thus begging the question.
