Why warn us not to turn away from Him that speaketh from heaven if such a thing is no longer even possible?

God bless you


He is still speaking from heaven He just has nothing to add.

The entire, perfect will of God needed for any man to actually "believe God" (not about God coming through what some call highly venerable sinful  man ) is complete and not lacking even one word needed to seek the REAL confidence of God as the Real Presence of God. As we study "it", as "it" teaches us... in order to seek His approval (not the false confidence that comes from seeking the approval of sinful men) we abide in Him  through and by those living, abiding, spiritual Words. Because they are alive and able to discern between the heart and soul of any man and judge the intents as to whether a person is seeking the actual approval of a living God, the possibility to actually hear God remains and will right up till the last day.

The question is Midgie, can it, as it is written judge the intents of your heart as the witness of God, that is greater than the witness of your conscience/ heart, called the witness of men?

for the reckoning of God is living, and "working", and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;Hebrews4 :12 

Because it, as it teaches us is to narrow of an authority for some who would widen that authority to include private revelations of men as the things of men, it, as it is written does not mean it is not the final authority .Especially seeing the church is not the authority of God in any way shape or form. Stewards and caretakers of God's authority, yes, authors or effectors no way. God alone is the authority of God .The church is not in the place of God as if we walked by sight and not by an exclusive faith that actually comes from hearing His living, abiding word.
