Why would a deity inspire people of ancient times to write books about religious subjects and then all of a sudden stop, nothing inspired by a god today? I am sure there are plenty of books people THINK are god inspired but just coming strictly out of their imagination.
I am not a religious person, but I understand from reading the Bible why there are no true new inspired books from God
Why dont you get with the Program and read up b4 you make daft posts in Forums

This is daft. You have not read the Bible.
I also have to point out that some Christians like the Mormons do not believe that the traditional Biblical books were the last ones. So do you believe all Mormons are daft?
Originally posted by Welsh invaderTo say you 'understand from reading the Bible why there are no true new inspired books from God' and then not explain how you derive at that understanding, could also be construed as daft.

One either accepts the 'official story' or one doesn't. That's just part of what it means to be a Christian.
He was superseded by Muhammad who added the Quran and then declared there would be no more revelations from God.

Deuteronomy 4:2. 12:32
Proverbs 30:32
Revelation has several warnings
These are just some examples.
The Mormons book came later and there are other books such as the Urantia book.
They are said to be modern bible books, but does it say in (for example) Revelation that we should look out for extra news from Jesus in the modern books.
No it says do not add and do not take away the messages contained in the Bible

Yeah, right, of course you're not religious 😞
Originally posted by Welsh invaderNo, it does not. The Bible does not contain any reference to 'the Bible' as it didn't exist at the time the various books were written. Methinks you should be a bit more careful before throwing around accusations of 'daft'ness.

Once you understand dispensations (don't fret: no one is holding their breath on this), you will better understand the lack of modern day inspiration.
