You might also wish to boldface the remaining words of your last statement. According to Jewish belief (and some Christian belief as well), Jesus DID add to and took away from the Torah in significant ways, not the least of which is His claim to divinity. The latter is not acceptable in Judaism; neither are several other of Jesus’ statements, regarding the Sabbath, the dietary laws, and so on. Hence Jesus is NOT regarded as a prophet, let alone the Messiah.

What was said in the previous post had nothing to do with your statement. I find it very difficult to understand that the poster would write that the prophets are “part of an understanding, not the final word on understanding” when they are considered the fullness of the understanding. Considering that literally, navi derives from the word niv or mouth. The navi serves as God’s mouthpiece, much as God reassures Moshe that “ Aharon achikha yihiyeh neviekha ,” “Aaron your brother shall serve as your mouthpiece” ( Shemot 7:1).

If this statement/comment was to mean that the prophets are not the sole source on how someone will intake scripture (internally, as to grasp the passages) that would be different. The first, is receiving “The Word” and how it is transmitted from one person to another. A much different way of understanding it.
 
Anytime God was unhappy with mankind, He probably thought or said: “We are not amused.”
