There is still not scripture beyond the OT. Christ having fulfilled all that was written about himself in the Law and the Prophets,

Then why do you bother to quote from the Gospels? Did the Spirit tell Paul to go to the Gentiles and Peter to the Jews?
'these are written that you may [come to] believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.' It is through the 'teachings' of others that belief in the Incarnation has been handed on generation after generation, handed on from those who initially experienced the risen Jesus.

The early Christians were zealous preachers, following the teaching and example of Jesus Christ. Luke 9:5 says regarding these preachers "And wherever people do not receive you, on going out of that city, shake the dust off your feet for a witness against them." Thus, the consequences of rejecting Christ's teachings would rest with the ones who reject the message.
The parallel account at Matthew 10:15 says; "Truly I say to you, it will be more endurable for the land of Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah on Judgment Day than for that city. "
