Perhaps one should learn these concepts first.
1. Citing Scripture does not make one a Prophet.
2. Only Jews were given the oracles of God.
3. It was 'new revelation'' at the time it was given by God to the Jewish Prophets and Apostles.
In the verse I quoted you (Rom 3:2) use of the word 'oracles'...
λόγιον, ου, τό. plural in the NT oracles, sayings, message, originating from God and received as direct revelation; used of laws (AC 7.38), promises (RO 3.2), inspired utterances (1P 4.11), salvation history (HE 5.12) (ALGNT) it's the plural form of message...not prophet.
Perhaps some seminary work would help some of us,

But, new revelation to me means that you understand and learn more doctrine the more you hear and read the scriptures. So you can cite the verses over and over to me, and as I read it over and over, I might understand what it means all of a sudden whereas before, I didn't understand it. Or, I may have misunderstood it before and then I have a new understanding of that verse. So, citing scripture in this message board is prophesying. You're not prophesying anything new, but revelation may only be shining on the reader at certain times.
Daniel didn't understand all his visions and he was told to go his way, the book is sealed until the end. (paraphrasing.) So, at the appropriate time, the revelation is revealed even though it's not brand new different scripture.
When God says sons and daughters will prophesy in the latter days, it wasn't my understanding that he had something new to say, just that he was unlocking and revealing the spiritual truth and meaning of the words he's already given us.
I think that's why we're not agreeing.
