With all due respect Kam, you appear to be avoiding many verse references like the plague and it could very well be, you don't even realize it and trust me, I have been there.
You also suggest quite a bit which is not supported via Bible verses, which to me then means zero, Especially since you say you made your assessment based on reasonable research of the Bible as well.
Now I have been doing a little reading to understand how and why you lot hold to some of your beliefs.
Some were sites that were not bias, just laying out what you lot follow, comparing your take on certain verses against what others do.
And I must say, they have many of the trinity trade marks.
Example --> quite a huge concoction, essays on the simple words "I and am" and how these can be read in various ways to get around Jesus's words, the likes of, no one comes to the Father accept via me, The One Door until death no More.
So in a not shell, this is no less than creating an elastic band to twist the meaning of a word to fit ones own wants and something I refuse to take part in.
-------------------------
It cant be
John 10:1 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by
the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
John 10:9 - I am
the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.-->
(The word of God).
Matt 24:35 -
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
....because Baha'u'llah is not stating "another way". It is the same God of Abraham here wotsup. Jesus did not propose a whole "other way"....it was the same God of Moses. So in one sense there only one way. But in other senses, Jesus did propose a different way. He removed us from the shackles of the Law. Baha'u'llah has done EXACTLY the same as Jesus did.
It is the same God of Abraham here wotsup. --.> Are you paying attention, the Door here is Not God, it is Jesus and He is THE Appointed Door as in the singular, one of.
Jesus did propose a different way.
Jesus brought with him what was planed before the world existed with God, Jesus was to be a one of Lamb, no more shedding of blood for this purpose again.
If your suggesting otherwise, your ARE suggesting his death was in vain, useless.
One way and really always been the plan from the get go
= John 1:13 - Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
1 Peter 1:23 - Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
John 3:5 - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Water - John 4:14 - But whosoever drinketh of the (The word of God) that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
So the way, was kept and as pre-planed, Jesus after his literal beginning at Mary, baptism was sent into the world to build A House for God.
Tree of life --> Almighty God and Father.
-------------------------------
So you asked a question:
"where in the Bible do you find room to suggest there will be other prophets after Jesus?"
The answer is in many passages but let us discuss one of them:
John 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
I'm getting the impression you are play games here.
I am quite certain, you know full well of the context I am using here --> where do you find room for another Jesus, type or replacement, whatever you lot call it?
But lets US LOOK at the whole truth, context of what you quoted here;
John 16:13-15 -
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 14:26 - But the Comforter,which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Within these verses it is VERY clear, the Almighty God and Father is the Spirit of truth, The Holy Spirit, he is going to show you what was given to Jesus and a big Key to that is --> The Word of God, life within himself John 5:26.
Remind you and this also applies to Bible verses you may have read some time ago and all of a sudden, the dots join, many other verses join which paint a picture, you were not expecting, out of the blue, so to speak.
Zero hint of another Jesus, one not required as Jesus says, heaven and earth will pass before his words, no one comes to the Father, accept by me, name and the only one given this name --? The Word of God.
The very one, Moses was told about Due 18:18, an only begotten Son who was begotten again after he died.
2 Cor 11:14 - For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Heb 13:8 - Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
1 Tim 2:5 - For one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; [SIZE=16px]-->(Body, soul and spirit, man).[/SIZE]
