How do you know that? How do you know that God has not inspired anyone to write something since the last book of the Bible was written?
What more is there to say after Revelation? Maybe you want to check with the mormons or the muslim? They seem to think that the Bible needed to have an addiction. Of course the Bible doesn’t need an addition nor does it need subtraction..its good the way it is.

There is a clarification that we need to make. When we say that the Bible is the Word of God, it does not mean that God spoke everything that is recorded in its pages. The Bible also contains the words of hundreds of different men and women. What the Bible claims for itself is that it is a true account of what these people actually said. Those people who were speaking for God had God’s authority behind their words.

However, some individuals, who did not speak for God, also had their words recorded. While their words are part of Holy Scripture, they do not have God’s divine authority behind them. Their words are not to be understood as infallible truth from God. The context makes it clear whether a person is speaking for God or whether that Scripture is merely recording the non-authoritative words of someone. It is crucial that we make this distinction.
Precisely the problem, and as stated here: https://vigilantcitizenforums.com/threads/the-bible-and-prophets-a-second-attempt-at-conveying-my-conclusions-from-studying-the-bible.6712/

None of your posted article substantiates yours (and JoChris') claim to the Bible as "infallible word of God", it's the contrary. It shows the sly perversion of the meaning of the phrase "word of God" (which itself is used to refer to Jesus himself according to John).

For the Bible to be "word of God" it'd require the Bible to actually meet that claim, but even the most basic reading of the Bible will show this to be a false claim. The Bible is only a bunch of records made by fallible Semitic people, later compiled around the late 3rd century.

We have 66 books that make up the Bible...it’s those books that God has inspired.
And again, where does the Bible teach this?
Also, where in the Bible does it give you the right to remove 7 books?

He has not inspired any other book
Where does the Bible teach this?


As I've been asking for post after post in this thread now: https://vigilantcitizenforums.com/threads/“according-to-tradition-”.6850/post-255185

Perhaps you or @JoChris would like to find me a verse like this: https://vigilantcitizenforums.com/threads/“according-to-tradition-”.6850/post-255202

They are as much the same as “all twelve-year old Lisa’s” and “all Lisa’s are twelve years old”.
All twelve guards old Lisa’s doesn’t make any sense.
But all scripture, inspired of God and all scripture is inspired of God is the same thing.

God is able to put together a book of His inspired words after all He was able to create the heavens and the earth.

Why would God have inspreied any other books not in His book the Bible? Wouldn’t He have added it into His book? That makes more sense seeing how His word is already made up of 66 books.
