Just to call you attention to a simple point. If your premise is true, then after the Torah God should have stopped talking to his prophets (I am speaking of prophesy not just warning) and we should not read beyond that point. That was all the scripture Israel needed any how, according to your logic. But God in His love and wisdom continued to provide line upon line of NEW scriptures for our benefit and care thru His prophets.
After the Savior was crucified the Apostles went about spreading the Gospel. So, we'll take the Gospels and Acts and close the NT. No need for new scriptures? Guess what, 30 years later, Christ revealed to Saul he was to become an Apostle and carry on since some of His original disciples were killed. And then you have 13 more books in the bible thanks to that NEW revelation.
Now, YOU made up your mind and decide that God can not speak again to his servants to lead His Church by revelation, to safeguard the doctrine and the teaching and to watch over the ordinances of salvation. At this point you have elevated your assumed insight and intellect above any other consideration, including God's will.

Certainly , I believe GOD speaks today to HIS children. HE speakes through the Bible. HE answers prayer. I believe CHRIST is the MESSIAH. I believe HE was sent to save those who trust in HIM. I believe HIS HOLY WORD is all about the coming MESSIAH, JESUS the CHRIST and the return of CHRIST to rapture HIS CHURCH and then return to rule with HIS saints over an earthy kingdom for 1000 years, allow satan one final war, followed by the FINAL JUDGMENT and a new heaven and a new earth.
What seems to be missing that glorifies CHRIST and has not been said?
