Of course, there have been teachers since - Paul was a teacher, but do you believe that the message was sealed after the time of Jesus' life, or are there more messengers to come?

انا مسلم في سبيل ال : I addressed the question specifically to Christians.
If you are Christian and believe that there have been subsequent messengers, or will be more messengers, please explain. Thanks.

Jesus was and is the Messiah who will return again soon. Only one of his roles was that of prophet. He was many things.
There were prophets before him and and after him. Some are true and some are false. The true prophet will have the baptism of the holy spirit, and the prophesies would have to be 100% accurate to be considered a true prophet. If not 100%, then it is a false prophet. If the person has never given a prophesy at all that has ever come true, then technically, that person cannot be considered a prophet. Usually there are at least some prophesies that come true in the prophet's lifetime to establish him as a prophet.
Many people teach many things, and claim they are from God, but this does not make them prophets. This makes them teachers. Only documented prophesies that come true establish one as a prophet. A true teacher will teach concepts that agree withe the Bible. A false teacher will teach things that disagree.

Jesus is the Son of the living God. Apositle Paul preched about the death and reserection on the Lord. Jesus was a carpenter up until he was 30 years old. Then Jesus started his ministry. Jesus was baptised in the Jordan by John the Baptist who was proclaiming the lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. Jesus died and rose again. His Father raised him from the dead after three days, as he prophecied his death and resserection. Jesus is the lamb of God. Mohammad was a false prophet who did a lot of evil. Jesus was perfect in everything he did. Follow Jesus you will not regret it, you will regret it if you do not choses Jesus. Jesus is greater than Mohammad ever was. Mohammad was a prophet who lead people astray, and Jesus is the lamb of God who came to save to save the lost. Now you tell me who is more worthy. To me it is Jesus anyday. Jesus said in the last days there is going to be a lot of false prophets to deceive many. There is a lot of false religion, false teaching even within the churches. Be careful. Trust only Jesus. He is the only one besides his Father that can be trusted,

Point of clarification, as a Christian, I believe Christ was not a prophet, he was the Son of God.
I think that we may have seen the end of prophets (in the Old Testament sense) with the arrival of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit (which is as much God as God the Father and God the Son) allows each person to receive gifts and messages from God directly without needing an intermediary.
So I don't think that we will be seeing any more Elijahs or Moseses.
Hope this helps

Religion is as much evil as it is good. People use religion and their god or prophet as an excuse to do horrible things. Two of the largest religions are the worst. The Cristian's have the crusades and now the Muslims have the terrorism or the holy jihad. On the good side religion drives people to do good things and live as good a life as they can. Religion is nothing more than a template to live ones life by. It was designed to give man a set of rules to guide him through life. Most people need this moral compass and some do not. Heaven and Hell are what you make it. I do not think that there will be another massage as obvious as Jesus or Mohamed because people today are to skeptical and logical. Religion does not pass the common sense test.

Jesus Christ is the Lord God Father of all.
Jesus Christ is Yahweh, Allah, G_d.
Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Holy Spirit, the Word made Flesh.
Jesus Christ is God incarnate begotten of the Father.
Jesus Christ is Truth, Love, and Completeness.
There nothing left but revelation. All is completed except your acceptance towards God.

Yes, I believe that Jesus was the last message from God. Everyone that helped spread The Truth after Jesus Christ was crucified, their purpose was to reach as many ppl as possible so they get to receive the promises that God promised.
Even Revelations is all about letting us know what will happen if we reject The Truth(Jesus). Everything after Jesus' death and resurrection in the Bible was about Jesus.

Galatians 1:8 ( Paul teaches what Christ taught) But though we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have preached unto you,
LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now AGAIN, IF ANY MAN PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN THAT YE HAVE RECEIVED,
LET HIM BE ACCURSED
Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:11 But I certify you brethren, that the GOSPEL which Iwas preached of me is not of man. vs.12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.

The spirit of God is life, whether in a blade of grass or in man; when God breathed into man the breath of life he become a living soul. And so it written, the firs man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. thus different people experience God differently, and we come to our own spiritual understanding according to our particular relationship with what God might mean.
the great dragon of christian of tradition, the supreme power of anarchy, destruction and death, is the devil but for centuries christians expected and feared the appearance on earth of another monster of chaos, Antichrist. the threat of his coming and the horrors of war, plague, famine and devastation which he would bring in his train loomed in the backg round of everyday life mush as the threat of a nuclear holocaust does now, though people in the past had a consolation that we lack, since it was believed that antichrist would be defeated by christ returning in glory, and his victory would usher in the eternal peace and happiness of the kingdom of God. One primary purpose of religion is, and always has been, to define the shadow, to set the world of darkness against the world of light, and to prescribe human moral behavior accordingly.
Jesus the last prophet, God's final message to human's it is the final one. but we also hava other prophet and they don't come from God.

No
The Bible says there will be other prophets AFTER Jesus and they will be false prophets and all those who follow the false prophets will not find their names in the book of life.

Jesus Christ IS NOT a prophet. He never said He was in any such way in Scripture.
He was God in the Flesh, He was God in the Beginning. He was the only way,the truth and the Life. NO one comes to God except by Him
