What does it mean that scripture supersedes all other revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture supersedes all other revelation because it is the ultimate and final authority on God's truth and will.

The assertion that scripture supersedes all other revelation stems from the claim that it is the most reliable source of divine truth. As seen in 2 Peter, the apostle emphasizes that even extraordinary experiences, such as the Transfiguration, are not as authoritative as the confirmed word of prophecy found in scripture. Believers are thus encouraged to align their lives according to scripture, which stands above all personal experiences and revelations. Any teaching or event claiming divine authority must be weighed against the truth found in the Bible to avoid deception and ensure adherence to God’s revealed will.
