1 Nephi 4:15 and Scripture Being More Proximate Than Other Sources of Authority

In 1 Nephi 4:15, we read the following:

 

Yea, and I also thought that they could not keep the commandments of the Lord according to the law of Moses, save they should have the law.

 

What is rather interesting about this passage is that it shows that inscripturated revelation (which is not one-to-one equivalent to and/or exhausted by “the Bible”) is more proximate to believers than many other sources, including oral traditions and teachings.
