His word is infallible, He is not limited to it, we are limited when we don't take all things to Him for His guidance.
Not sure I understand what you mean. I'll wait to see where it goes.
Of course God's word is infallible, but I am unable to vote because you restrict the word of God to only that which is written down. There are many prophets in the Bible mentioned whose prophecies are never written down.
The Bible says Jesus is THE Word of God. If God tells me to move to Brazil, that is the word of God to me.

And not everything written in extant Bibles is definitely GW verbatim.
We do not even have the original manuscripts, for which the dictation theory is more plausible.
Even if we had a dictated Scripture, there would still be the problem of human fallible interpretation.
But yes, of course GW is inerrant/righteous.
I do not believe God's word is restricted by only what is originally written down. God has not revealed everything to us.
I wouldn't say God is restricted. However, we're restricted by what He's revealed in His word. The reason for this is fairly simple. If everyone goes around saying "I have a revelation from God," then you have chaos and disorder. Who has the true revelations? Who do you believe? Of course there's a fair amount of chaos now because everyone has their own "revelations" about what God's word means, but at least there's a standard that sincere truth seekers can turn to and find truth.
I agree with the part of everyone having conflicting interpretations in what God's Word means. According to the Word this is because the devil is currently deceiving everyone.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
I agree with that, and I have had insights, but any new revelation must agree with Scripture (John 16:12-14, 2Tim. 3:16-17).
You ask two questions but the poll only ask for opinion on the second one. In the first question are you meaning continuing revelation similar to Montanism, Oneness Pentecostal ect. where the Lord is directly continuing prophecy through his disciples?
