Well claiming new revelation is, and claiming "the Lord said", and dream prophecy and the like. All revelation given by the HS points to Jesus and Jesus is the end of revelation. This is biblical.

Not in the sense you are seeming to mean the words.

There's PLENTY of examples in the NT of Holy Spirit giving input which was NOT ENSCRIPTURATED, is the term.

Assuming that all Holy Spirit's inputs are equal to Scripture flies in the face of the Scripture about the world not being able to contain books about all the works of Christ--or however that verse goes.

The LORD SAYS lots of things not intended to be in Scripture.

Telling a young man which woman to seek for marriage is not needed as an enscripturated Holy Spirit input.

Telling a family to sell their house and move from an area before a big quake or forest fire is not an enscripturated bit of Holy Spirit provided input.

To construe things as stated in the post I'm responding to would negate Holy Spirit leading each believer into all truth FOR THAT BELIEVER'S LIFE--tailor made to that believer in all the details of that believer's life.

I really have a very hard time with this meat-axe, tidy little boxed theology mentality regarding Holy Spirit and His operations in The Church Age. Most of the time, it's utter nonsense. Holy Spirit was involved in all creation. He will NOT fit any man construed tidy little boxes. What's so hard about that? It's not rocket science!

I Cor 12-14 makes abundantly clear the guidelines and something of the scope of Holy Spirit's operations in The Church Age. What's so difficult about reading such Scripture, believing it and practicing it as one is supposed to do with the rest of the New Testament?

Oh, right . . . biases . . . flawed, traditions and doctrines of man biases. That I can understand, sadly.

That's sort of like the math exercise where 2 + 2 ends up equalling 5.

Yes, Holy Spirit points to Jesus.

What Scripture declares that Jesus is the "end" of revelation? What would be the plausible meanings of such a verse?

Certainly Jesus and The Cross are the fulcrum of all we know and construe as reality.

Nothing about Holy Spirit operating in the NOW detracts from that; hinders that; alters that a microgram's worth.

To imagine that the New Testament details ALLLLLLLLL the revelation that JESUS IS, reduces Jesus to a finite entity. HOGWASH. Doesn't work. Won't fit. Scripture itself makes that clear--that Scripture is just a kind of detailed snapshot of the essentials of all Jesus is.

ONE reason Holy Spirit is to lead each believer into all truth is that Scripture is the foundation, the guidelines, the beginning . . . each believer is expected to GROW FORWARD, UPWARDS, ONWARDS, FROM THAT FOUNDATION. Not altering it. Not going contrary to it . . . but in a real sense . . . unfolding, expanding, beyond it in the same sense that Jesus wholeness is beyond the finite descriptions in the ink on pages.

I could probably pontificate further but I should get back to pottery.
