Sola Scriptura is a man-made invention

Did the Apostles believe “the Bible alone” is the sole infallible rule of faith and salvation?
Yes or No answers in the comments, please, with direct evidence.
The answer is, of course, no. We are imposing a 16th century idea onto the 1st century.
In the Apostles’ lifetime, there was no completed New Testament - many books weren’t written yet.
You can’t live by a book that doesn’t exist.
The Apostles claimed their oral teaching was the word of God.
“You accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God”
(1 Thessalonians 2:13).
They commanded the Church to “stand firm and hold to the traditions… whether by word of mouth or by letter”
(2 Thessalonians 2:15).
When disputes arose, they did not appeal to a closed text but to the Church in council. Acts 15: “It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us.” That is living, binding authority, not text self arbitration.
Therefore, it is false to claim the Apostles held “Bible alone.”
It is blatant falsehood to claim “sola Scriptura” is Apostolic.
Their rule of faith included inspired apostolic preaching and letter - oral and written - under Church authority, before any fixed canon.
“Sola Scriptura” is a post apostolic construct retrojected onto an era that contradicts it.
The question that matters: If the Apostles did not live by “Scripture alone,” who first did - and why should Christians trade the Apostles’ own rule of faith for a later manmade invention?
