No Christian has demonstrated reasonably the need for and
purpose of God ever intending to put all his truth in one bundle of writings called the Bible. No Christian has ever demonstrated reasonably why all other records of his dealings with people anywhere else in the world are not to be considered the Word of God.

I am a Christian, and you are essentially correct.
We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

Because no Christian can and most Christians do not believe that the Bible is all there is, though it is considered telling the faith journey and man's relationship with God the most completely it is far from the only for most people. ALL religions and scriptures contain truths from God, we just disagree that it is the full truth.
Having this attitude though was already warned about:
"Beware the man of one book"~Thomas Aquinas
Edit: Tay "Moses was a main writer of the bible". The old testament was written over 1000 years, none of it by Moses. You obviously have never heard of the Men of Great Assembly or Council of Jamnia. New Testament written by disciples. You mean disciples of disciples. In some cases disciples of disciples of disciples.
Joe S. you look like a fool when you say such things that are so historically inaccurate. Constantine died over 30 years before the bible books were selected by Anthanius. Heck he died 10 years before Jerome the translator and compiler of the bible was even born. Except the Gospels of course which were selected by Irenaeus in 160 which was well over 100 years before Constatine was born. Oh and don't forget Origen, at least 50 years before Constantine was born, originally selecting what Anthanius would use as the 27 books of the New Testament. Considering the the canon of the Old Testament was selected almost 200 years before Christ was born do I really need to point out how ridiculous the idea of Constantine would be to that.
Lets see if you can say "I know nothing about history and parrot what I have heard from other unknowledgable haters"
Ready, set, go. . .

If your a Christian and you believe the Bible to be the word of God, the bible tells you.
1. Thou shalt have no other Gods
2. God is the one and only true God
3. Every word of the Bible is profitable and true
4. Anyone that adds to this book will suffer
If any other book conflicts with the bible, worships another god, or goes against gods commands is not of God.

And is a conjunction useful but not perhaps absolutely necessary. The Judeo-Christian Bible makes arguments both for and against the use of "and."
The use of more "ands" than is customarily deemed necessary in writing is a polysyndeton. There are numerous examples of the polysyndeton in the Bible. There are fewer examples of the complete omission of "and" where it might be expected, which is an asyndeton, but this rhetorical figure does appear in the Bible.
Hence, the Christian text argues both for and against the need for and. Perhaps this is why no Christian has demonstrated reasonably the need for and.

It is very obvious you have not come across true believers. The study of Prophecies has all the evidence you need. The prophecies that have been fulfilled to date vindicates the Bible. No need for human 'demonstration' as you mention.

Because we don't get prophets in the 21st century. Those everyday happenings everyday like how america is a free country, those are god's miricles but they just don't get considered by other people as "the word of god" because theres no famous phsyco prophets around these days.

Constantine put together the documents that seemed to work best to control people. Lets see if all of you christians out there can all say BAHHHH at the same time.

Huh? The bible was written by a bunch of old men (monks), probably smoking something funny.Why would anyone do or believe anything in that?

Agreed. Furthermore, no one has ever demonstrated the existence of any sort of god.

no, somewhere in Rev. it says that anyone who adds or takes away from the Bible is doing a very evil type thing.(I'm paraphrasing cuz i don't know exactly where it is)
the bible was NOT written by monks, it was Moses and the disciples mostly.
