Our Lord states you remain spiritually immature without the Eucharist.

“Chapter and verse?”

First, if you don’t mind please share:

“And where does our Lord say that” all of God’s revelation
is written in the Bible?

Where did He tell us to believe everything that everyone claims is from Him?

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

John 20:30-31 30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

1 John 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.

Ephesians 6:10-18 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

2 Timothy 3:14-17 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

How do you know that all those *prophecies* that you've been posting are from God? What test do you apply to those pronouncements to determine their veracity? Or do you just believe anyone who comes along and says *Thus sayeth the Lord,....*?

There MUST be some way of determining their veracity to know that they are from God. If it's not using Scripture, then what does one use?

It doesn't. What IS said is that all that is necessary to make us perfect, completely equipped for doing God's will is there (1 Tim. 3:17) and that we can be made holy by means of His word (John 17:17) to the gaining of eternal life. (John 17:3).

Jesus said he would send the holy spirit to enlighten and enliven the minds of the disciples so that when they wrote down the Scriptures they didn't have to rely on their own imperfect and faulty memories. (John 14:26)
Therefore Paul could say God's Word exerts power and is alive (Heb. 4:12) it being a product of His spirit, “All Scripture is inspired by God....”. (1 Tim.3:16)

So is an extra-biblical revelation needed or just guidance by spirit into a better understanding of those presented to us in the Scriptures?
