18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.
19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation 22:18-20
Interesting .. the very last words in our Bible. It brings a lot of things to mind.. like adding books to it .. or augmenting it with another book.. a Holy book??
It also brings to mind passages that are distasteful to some, and so these passages are ignored or removed.. at least from memory. Things that cause our conscience to stir and we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings now, do we? Or do we?
To those who belong to the Lord, the WHOLE of scripture is truth.. not just the parts that appeal to us at a given moment. If you deny even one verse, you have denied the entire book and denied Christ in doing so.
We are given warning..
