Nothing is impossible with God which basically was what you were asking, could God maintain Christianity without the Bible. What He could have done isn’t as important as what He did do.

Maybe you could speculate. You have already speculated that there would be some other means. Why not speculate about what form that means might take?
By the way how do you know that God could not use another form of revelation?
Many people who have never read the Bible claim to have had visions of Jesus. How do you know that their claims are false?
Originally posted by @dj2beckerYou ask people to assume and speculate and imagine stuff all the time. So let's get this straight: if you don’t know something, you don’t want to speculate about what the answer or situation could be, is that right?

Originally posted by @dj2beckerFrom personal experience, I would assume they were false, the person was lying or delusional. If you can show me a credible testimony, I'll look at it (as long as it's not some spammy tabloid nonsense).
