The scripture is never wrong, but the interpretation often is.

this is my point
If correctly interpreted i do not believe it takes two scriptures to establish a doctrine. It is when a single scripture is isolated from the context and misconstrued that is shaky ground for establishing a doctrine.
I would say that if you find one scripture that seems to support a certain doctrine, and no other scriptures seem to do so, then it is time to re-examine the context and interpretation.
This is not speaking of the authority of scripture to establish doctrine.
Matthew 18:16
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that
in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
This is...
2 Timothy 3:16
16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
It doesnt have to be there twice to be profitable for doctrine. If he said it once and it is taken in the correct context and correctly interpreted, then once is enough.
