The bible (disciples, church, Revelation, prophet, pope)

[whatever]

I know there is no answer for this question:

Why isn't the bible still being written?

[Aqualung]

What do you mean by that? Why aren't people still recieving revelation?

The Bible is still being written. There has just not been an analytical review of the newly written Christian material out there by an infalliable authority eg the Pope to compile it as part of the book. In other words, that is the only difference between the material in the Bible and contemporary Christian writing. I don't view the difference as significant, obviously.

Yes why did it end why arent more disciples adding to the bible? Is it because people are that tight with god now?

I believe it is being added to. As a latter-day saint, I believe that we have a prophet of God running out church, and that he still receives revelation.

Uhm.. something tells me that there will be nothing added to the bible that we all read.

There are those among us that would argue that scripture still is being written (not the "Bible" per se, but that's only because the Bible has already been compiled). I don't think that God has told us everything yet.

Why isn't the Bible still being written? Interesting question.

I believe we are still receiving continuing revelation, but it's not in the form of a 'bible so-to-speak.

The majority of the Christians I know have not covered the limited material contained in the Bible. I do not blame them, it is a very difficult read in places. However, the importance of a document does not increase with the more people that read it, in my opinion.
