Has revelation ceased?

To say that the bible that has come down to us over a period approaching two thousand years has come to us with part missing or part corrupted in doctrine is to say God lacks the interest or the power to protect his own word.
Jesus is over and over referred to as "the Word". So in some sense the Bible has a very real connection with God himself.
How can it be believed that someone can add to God's word? It would be as though that person were greater than God and had the ability to add to God's stature or being.
Likewise, how could any of God's word be missing or corrupted? It would be as though the people who assembled the cannon had power over God himself.
