Understanding...
First, there are not many "Bibles"...but "VERSIONS" or "TRANSLATIONS" of the SAME BIBLE. Good, now that we have established this...you stated:
" Is there more still to be discovered that might answer once and for all time the 'God' question?"
God question? It has already been answered in what we have now! If there was any more...it would just "continue" on what was already established as it has all along. Remember? First came the writings put together in Genesis...then the Law of Moses...then what the priests, prophets, and scribes put together...THE OLD COVENANT....then Jesus came and on came the NEW COVENANT of the SAME God and SAME religion, if you will,...so it would just continue, not bring in some new god...Would we get a DEEPER understanding of God? Maybe, but you can only be secure on what you have SO FAR...not on what we MIGHT HAVE...Live by what you know and understand so far. What we KNOW is what we can build from. What we don't know we can only cautiously test, hope, be weary of...
What we have so far in what is the Bible...has given from the beginning a clear and direct understanding of GOD.

Re: Understanding...
First, how have the Dead Sea Scrolls shown that there are multiple variations of the Old Covenant? Just the opposite. It shows that the copies and translations were very accurate. What was found were the exact Old Covenants and New Covenants as well as other books and writings such as Apocrypha books...and so forth.
Secondly, you are very mistaken and have no understanding of the New Covenant...
Jesus is not a "new" god...He is the SAME GOD of the Old Covenant. The only thing that changed was the "COVENANT". The Jewish God already revealed His Plan before Jesus came about the coming New Covenant. He already foretold the Messiah's coming and the Jews already knew Jesus was NOT bringing a NEW religion...but claiming to be "HIM".
