All those who are familiar with the Bible know that in the compilation of the Bible, because of the compilers’ disagreement and omission, some of God’s words conveyed through the prophets were not included in the Old Testament. This is a generally acknowledged fact. How can we say that outside the Bible there are no God’s work and word? Aren’t those omitted prophecies of the prophets God’s words? The Lord Jesus said more words than those in the New Testament. In fact, most of His words are not recorded in the Bible. The Lord Jesus had worked for three and a half years, and He said countless words and gave many sermons. However, all of the Lord’s words recorded in the Four Gospels in the New Testament merely amount to His words in several hours. Compared with the Lord Jesus’ work and preaching in the three and a half years, that’s only a drop in the ocean. As John said, “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.” (John 21:25) This proves that not all of the Lord Jesus’ work and word are recorded in the New Testament. Thus, the saying “outside the Bible there are no God’s work and word” doesn’t accord with the fact. We should also know that whether the Old Testament or the New Testament, it came into being from man’s record after God finished one stage of His work. The Bible at the very beginning was only the Old Testament. All of the Lord Jesus’ work and word went beyond the Old Testament. If according to “any belief beyond the Bible is a heresy,” won’t we condemn the Lord Jesus? Brothers and sisters, from these facts we can see the saying “outside the Bible there are no God’s work and word and any belief beyond the Bible is a heresy” is groundless.
“Disclose the Mystery About the Bible”
This movie has talked about this aspect of truth clearly. You can watch on it.
This is a false doctrine invented 1,500 years after Jesus Christ founded His Church, by those who defected from His Church and founded unauthorized churches of their own. If this were true, God's Word would not have existed until three and a half centuries after Jesus Christ, because the Catholic Church did not compile the Bible until the end of the 4th Century. Jesus never told us to follow a book, and the doctrinal chaos among those who attempt to do so demonstrates how far from God's will that idea is. Jesus founded ONE Church, said it was to remain ONE, and promised that ONE Church, and no other, "The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth", and "Whatsoever you bind upon Earth is bound in Heaven", and "He who hears you hears Me". This ONE Church is the only source of truth He gave us. We know the Bible is true only because it was compiled by His ONE Church, under His guarantee of truth. That ONE Church would have continued teaching the fullness of truth even if it had never decided to compile some of its early writings into a book.
Actually if a spiritual book by its author speak Not according to Scripture, the Truth is not in them, no Light friend. We Must test all things against Gods Word😉 reason enough to Know the Bible right? Its our armour!!!
No. Don't limit God like that. I'm assuming you heard a lame-brained fundamentalist Christian say that.
God can do whatever he wants to do. The Bible is the best written source for finding out what those things he did were. So keep your mind open, and accept the truth as it comes, if you can.

Pretty much so.
False the bible says all the books in the world couldn't contain all of gods knowledge.

Absolutely not. The Bible is essentially merely a record of the interaction of one nation with the idea of deity.
i believe the bible is god's word

no - the fact is that there is no god and therefore no words of a god.

Yes
Scripture is complete in and of itself
Anything added to scripture is superfluous and unreliable. And anything removed from scripture makes it incomplete and unreliable.
The operative phrase is "sola scriptura" or scripture alone
