What % of Christians would fully accept that immediately as authoritative? What % in 50 years? What % in 300 years?
What % in 1000 years ? We will assume normal human progress and no new special Incarnate visitations here by Sons of God to speed things up in that time period.
The spiritual test of this would be He the Spirit of Truth Who leads us into all Truth -- Jesus Christ here in Spirit. See John 16:7-16

God does not directly write Bibles, neither does our Master Jesus Christ nor the Holy Spirit. No mere humans could write this much needed perfect super-Bible. Thus, it would have to come from high and divinely wise super-human True Agents of God who are working for our Holy Father-Son-Spirit of Truth.
"If it is of God, (or authorized by God) it will increase; if not, it will not."

I think that probably only 2% will accept this super-Bible currently. It really depends upon how much a person's soul has evolved spiritually to recognize an even greater truth found in a book other than the Holy Bible.
In fifty years I believe that the percentage will be between 5-10%. In 300 years it will probably be 40-70%. In 1000 years it will probably be 60-90%.
Currently, Christians are still absorbed in a fear-based doctrine, which isn't evolving as it should. They fear that anything other than the Holy Bible is from the "devil".
As more Christians read this super-Bible, the spirit of truth will reveal itself and they will begin to understand the grand scheme that God has laid out for us. This super-Bible speaks to the soul on a much grander scale than the Holy Bible... if only they would read it.

That's a good question.
Latter-Day Saints (sometimes called Mormons) believe additional scripture was revealed in 1831 as part of a restoration of Jesus Christ's original church. 14 million people now follow that movement, but there has been a lot of opposition to it as well. About 2% of Americans accept the Book of Mormon and other latter-day scripture 170 years later.
The big question that would hinder the acceptance of the "superbible" by the masses is the authority under which is comes. People have rejected prophets of God for thousands of years, believing they were nuts. The same would likely happen in the jaded 21st century.
Establishing that authority is what will show the world the so-called Superbible's legitimacy.

I am a positivist person. I see Christians as good brothers and sisters. So i will give a 100 per cent. If you believe in something pour all your faith because that is what beliefs should be. Being a Super Bible, then i would anticipate all questions in their minds will be answered by it. I would see it as a perfect Book, the book of all books.
Great idea! Thanks for asking and God Bless You Always.

If another Bible was written and suddenly appeared, I doubt if it would be accepted. Of course, I can only speak for myself, but I would have some doubts about where it came from and why now? This is just something I would have to think long and hard about.

Where is the super bible coming from? Who wrote and edited it? "god" whatever "god" is does not write books. Also, I don't believe organized religion will be prevalent in 100 years or 300 years. If the planet is still in existence organized religion will certainly be extinct in 3000 years.

If the authors were mortals I doubt there would be acceptance. I have a hard enough time accepting what I already have. I shift the the beach for the grains of truth...

Is that how you believe the Bible came into being in the first place?
That is how the Church started but, men fill their ears with their own desires and so they split apart. The problem is not that authoratative teaching has not been given personally by God, it IS that men do not listen.

What seems to unify churches today? The compromise of truth! Such a thing cannot exist, especially with the constraints you have put.
GOD bless

i wouldn't because the bible is original and was inspired by the holy spirit which is God. this bible would probably just be made up by some random person.

Silliest question ever. God isn't in the business of convincing people of anything. It's the one thing God can't do.
