Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. – Deuteronomy 4:2

So I guess you reject everything after Deu 4:2.

This doesn't mean what you pretend it to mean.

“So I guess you reject everything after Deu 4:2. “

God can inspire additional revelation by moving men He chooses whenever He wishes.

People can not just get together and add to what He has revealed.

Was God finished commanding what was to be written at Deut. 4:2??? Of course not...It was repeated in the Psalms and Revelation so you could not miss it....

The understanding is easy and clear...Believing it is where people have problems, isn't it???

To the contrary, I heartily receive the words of God which includes of course Jesus' words and those the Holy Spirit caused to be written.

God's people know His voice when we hear it:

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. - John 10:2-6

God's words are alive in us - they are not like the words of men. (I Cor 2, Romans 8, et al) His words are self-authenticating and apparent to us who hear Him.

No doubt those who compiled or maintained the Scriptures over thousands of years - whether Jew or Christian - knew His voice and followed His leading:

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. - Psalms 12:6-7

The people Jesus is speaking to in the following passage were physically hearing Him (pressure or sound waves) but they could not spiritually hear Him. They did not have "ears to hear:"

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. - John 8:43

Again, Scriptures contain the words of God, we know this - their authority and authenticity - because we know His voice when we hear it.
