Is the Bible incomplete?

As per me, I believe the Bible is complete from the point of creation fro Genesis up to the book of Revelation talking of end times. it is complete.

This work is fiction so I think the author can take some creative allowance. However, I studied history and religion in college and the bible has been changed and manipulated to support those in political power.

I guess that for me, the Bible cannot be incomplete by principle, since it is the literal word of God. Also, I've found that the Bible gives meaning to basically every part of life.

There is no fiction, the Bible is based on fact.

I will not comment so firmly on accuracy of any historical book, but since this is a matter related to a religion I won't have any comments on that

It is the way that you see it makes it complete or not

That is a fact that many are being taught, and it leads to problems about the accuracy of the current bible

By principle, it has to be complete as well as perfect

I like your argument and justification. I also agree on the same.

Although the Bible might have some changes, I wouldn't say I find anything wrong with it.
It contains laws meant to guide the reader to live in uprightness.

Critics even say that the bible what we have now is not what exactly jesus told. People have changed it over time according to needs and beliefs , according to the rules of the church.

The Bible is complete. It only fails to highlight all the details. It precise and direct to the point.

Whether complete or not the importance is in its significance

There is no issue with the guiding that it gives to people, since it guides them towards good

There is a high possibility that that might have been actually happened
