The NT, like the OT, ended and was canonize and just like the OT was, by an apostate weed controlled clergy. The OT is an example for us to see that God gets what he wants done ... done. How do we know it is the last until the millennium?

1. No indication of another Covenant in the NT. We were told a new one would replace the old one, in the OT and it did.
2. The wheat and weed parable simply says the wheat will be removed and no mention of any need for new "scrolls" at the End.
3. The next new scrolls mentioned occur in the millennium, so nothing in between the NT and those new scrolls.
4. Everything we are faced with today is covered in the NT, so no new direction needed. It is not like the OT with rigid laws, rather a few laws and then mainly principles that can apply to anything we face and allow us to show what is in our hearts.

Claiming new Revelation is on the same level as claiming new Revelation and Traditions from God, which the weed filled Church has done for centuries.
"Blah, blah, blah, bible blah. Our old men in Watchtower know the godling's mind better than Joseph Smith or Pope Frankie or anybody else! Blah, blah, bible blah."

Suit yourself. If you want to tell God He's done talking, and that any further communication from Him is nothing but "weeds" in your mind, that's fine with me.

Oh God talks to all of us, at least all true believers. He does this through His written word and by His Holy Spirit. However all scripture points to no new Revelations or Scrolls until the Millennium. he did tell the Israelites a new covenant was coming in the OT, so where did he tell Christians in the NT one was coming? Do you have any verses that show otherwise, in clear context?

I'm afraid you totally lost me. Another "new covenant"? I don't have a clue what you're getting at.

Sorry, God told the Israelites that the Covenant he had made with them would be replaced with a new one and this is what the NT covers. The new Covenant that was with the Christian Congregation, not Israel; theirs ended. Christians are now in that new Covenant and the laws and principles associated with it, not the 10 commandments that were a part of that old Covenant. The OT covers the history up to the old Covenant being established, the directions and laws given to those under it and how it was not obeyed by the nation for a very long time, like 1500 years while under it. The NT covers the history up to the new covenant and the directions and the laws and principles associated with it. There is no indication it would be replaced or any new Revelation or Laws would be given to man. The next mention of a new Scroll (The OT was also referred to in this way and we use "book" today) is in the book of Revelation and is to be opened in the millennium.

Where do you find any reference to a new Scroll/Book being given to Christians and replacing or modifying the OT/NT combination? What basis is there for such?

I don't. Obviously, you are mistaken as to what I believe.

The OP claimed there was something about converting homosexuals. The classmate was not homosexual.
