Would Christians as a whole, doubt or believe according to their
own opinions, that God has communicated to the human race
from the time of Adam/Eve to the present. Or after the ascension
of Jesus, he then shut the door behind him, left us to fill in the
blanks.? John said if all that Jesus said and did was written down
the world wouldn't be large enough to hold everything.
 
God also knows the danger of when we fill in the blanks.
It's not logical Jesus would deny the human race ninety percent
of pertinent information when he died still teaching in word and
example. True that it's spread over thousands of years but I
know there's far too much to be contained in the brevity of the
Bible. I'm not saying you should have more than the Bible, but
Paul did suggest such a thing. If Jesus told you something to
remember in the year AD 30, would it be less believable in the
year 2017..??

I surely don't purport to speak for God, nor could I if I wanted, but the way I look at it or envision it is that what awaits us, in the future life (after this physical one) is also something beyond our comprehension.  Could be it's far more simple or infinitely more complicated and involved.   Whatever it is I believe it to be a life of a Spiritual nature rather than a physical, fleshly, one.  Being human I don't know that we could tolerate living thousands of years or even ten's of thousands if that were possible.  We'd get tired of living.  Human Nature is to desire change (or so I believe) and after a certain time we, being human, tire of our current situation and desire change.   We, or most of us, tire of the car we drive or the house where we live and desire another, better, newer, one.  That doesn't apply to all but surely to a lot.   

I just don't think humanity has the where with all to envision or know what is ahead of us, after death.  Some believe that nothing awaits us, that after death all ceases, that this life experience was just a happenstance thing that just miraclously came about and is over when it's over.  I don't believe that, myself, but that's me.  I do very much believe that from a physical, fleshly, ,standpoint that things may cease and just black out, but I believe that we do have an inner soul/spirit that will survive us and will live on and is capable of living on in a dimension and realm that we have no way of envisioning at this point in our existence and life.   I just believe that our human minds are so limited, God knowing this, doesn't create a situation where we can know everything there is to know about everything.  I don't see God as a person or with limitations but as an all powerful, all knowing, power/energy existing in a form that we could never comprehend, one in a Spiritual realm/dimension much more expansive than our physical realm.  Just as comparing or contrasting thoughts to brain cells or matter.  One is physical where the other unlimited in nature and evaporative and unable to be defined and confined yet still just as valid and real.
