“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son…” [Hebrews 1:1-2, KJV]
“In giving us his Son, his only Word (for he possesses no other), he spoke everything to us in this sole Word - and he has no more to say…The Apostle indicates that God has become as it were mute, with no more to say, because what he spoke before to the prophets in parts, he has now spoken all at once by giving us the All, who is his Son. Those who now desire to question God or receive some vision or revelation are guilty not only of foolish behavior but also of offending him by not fixing their eyes entirely on Christ and by living with the desire for some other novelty.” [St. John of the Cross, Ascent of Mt. Carmel, 2, 22, 3-5; in reference to Hebrews 1:1-2]
The same applies to any and all American restorationist sects.
