Ye often hear it said ...
"... the bible is still being written ..."
but the apostle Peter stated (2 Peter 1:2-4):
"Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue; whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust."
Peter speaks in the past tense as does Jude (Jude 3). Since God "hath granted ... all things" there is no reason that it has to continue to be written. If they had "all things that pertained unto life and godliness," nothing else is required. If this knowledge could save them, it can save us. Has mankind really changed? Is not the same corruption "in the world by lust?" Are there any new sins? Does the bible not deal with each and every one of them?
Through his precious and exceeding great promises you may become a partaker of the divine nature. Why should we want to look for another source of truth? Only condemnation awaits if we should add to it or take away from it (Rev. 22:18-20).
