I do believe Christ is the final authority

Really? When you don't believe Jesus, The Word of God isn't the FINAL authority? That's fork tongued thinking because you can't separate them.

"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways". James 1:8

I don't limit Christianity to a book religion

What's a book religion? God has nothing to do with religion - HE is all about relationship! And you don't have the authority to make that call about Christianity as a catholic. Nothing like showing how catholics limit the Words of the ALMIGHTY GOD to call it a 'Book'. Jesus is The Word made flesh. "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved". Roman 10:9 Catholics say Jesus is a book and not Lord over them. Without Jesus there is no salvation.

because The Holy Spirit goes far beyond what can ever be encompassed in a book.

The Holy Spirit doesn't go anywhere where God isn't - it is HIS SPIRIT - the 3 in One is connected! And the Holy Spirit leads us to Jesus who died for all of us to go directly to The Father - one big circle with NO man involved! That's His Will, His Way and not for you to decide but believe it on faith. Knowing 'God's Word is true and every man a liar'. Man made teaching is a lie!

And what 'book' do you know that has the power to do this? Tell me!

"For the WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE. Sharper than any double-edged sword, IT penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; IT judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Heb 4:12

There are people who abide in Christ who are deaf,dumb, mentally impaired without the ability to read or comprehend a Bible.

First of all, it is not 'a' bible - GOD'S WORD it is THE BIBLE. The Bible Truth! And The Holy Spirit is their teacher and without It they are not 'in Christ' for God's Word is spiritually discerned.

"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Cor 2:14

Perhaps some depth of thought should help you to realize this?

I just rebuked your thoughts with the Word of God! Catholics, Mormons, Muslims have no truth so they can't be any depth in their thoughts but only depth in deception and someday I hope they realize it.

The WORD of GOD alone is The Final Authority.

For God so loved the world He sent a book.

That is what you are saying here.

The Word is Jesus.

John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Jesus is the Word.
