I came to the same conclusion about the Bible from a different direction. It cannot be the “Word of God” because “Word” is only capitalized three times in any English translation. Proper names are capitalized in English. So the only thing that is actually named “Word of God” is Jesus Christ: John 1, 1 John 1, and Revelation 19:13. Each time it is clear that it is talking about the incarnated Son. Throughout the “Old Testament” the “word of God” comes as a personal messenger. It is never paper and ink. Also, any list of missing scripture needs to include Paul’s letter to Laodicea that he mentions in Colossians 4:16. Scripture is authoritative and useful, but it is not the 4th member of the Trinity. That belief is called Bibliolatry and is a gross blasphemy.

The issue with basing anything off of capitalization is that the original text did not have such designations. We can't trust capitalization to mean anything except what the translators believed. I have found out through studying the original text that the translators added their own spin to things based off their ideology.

I also think Paul is a false apostle and after studying the trinity out I found it to be false as well. I do believe Jesus is the Christ/Messiah but a lot of false beliefs have crept into Christianity since he died and was resurrected.
