Whoever wrote that email deserves a medal. I hope his courage will be recognised one of these days. He must have known that he was hanging a target on his head. Good man.
>Even the New Testament not as enlightened as most Christian believe, it lacks a lot, not because the teachings of Yeshua were lacking, but because who wrote them and put them together.
Wrong.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV)
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Which is not to say that all that may be known about God is revealed in Scripture. The whole universe would not be big enough to contain all that could be known about God. Indeed, the universe is contained within God - not vice versa. God is the boundary. But the Bible, together with the Creation, contains sufficient revelation for humanity to know God's character and purposes as they relate to humanity. Extra-Biblical knowledge is always speculative and therefore always has the potential to be untrue. Only that which is communicated by the Spirit of God may be relied on as truth.
Faith is not a virtue in and of itself. Fath requires an object. It is in what or whom faith is placed that renders it either virtuous or misguided.
I have faith In God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit because I have experientially discovered Him to be faithful and true to His Word. I believe that what God has prophesied in Scripture will come to pass, but I do not know exactly the time and how, and have no intention of shifting my faith in God's Word to faith in mere humans, i.e. Q. I am content to wait until future events prove the words God has spoken in past times.
The KJV is a translation. It is probably one of the best we have. But that's a very long debate and not one for this place.
"Sufficient revelation" is that which is enough for humanity to know our Creator God and His just requirements of human beings, the pinnacle of His creation, through His works and Words, revealed in the Creation and Scripture respectively, and latterly through Jesus - the Living Word, and by the Holy Spirit. John 16:8
“When [the Spirit] comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment”

The verse quoted by Q is Jeremiah 29:11
There are only 32 verses in Jer ch. 29
>Does it seems that humanity has had "sufficient revelation", or is something lacking in humanity today?
Yes, very much so - but it has always been the case. When did you last read Romans chapter 1? It explains exactly what is wrong with humanity and it isn't insufficient rvelation of God; it's a deliberate choice to cut God out of their thinking.
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who [d]suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is [e]manifest [f]in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and [g]Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like [h]corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their [i]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the [j]men, leaving the natural use of the [k]woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 [o]undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
Bit of a stretch, I'd say as the part about John the Baptist ends in verse 29. Then follows the feeding of the five thousand and verse 46 is the introductory verse about Jesus walking on the water.
