“You shall not ADD to the word which I command you, nor TAKE from it, that you may KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of the LORD YOUR GOD which I command you.” (Deuteronomy 4:2)
“For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone ADDS to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone TAKES away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall TAKE AWAY HIS PART FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book (the bible).” (Revelation 22:18-19)
“For the WORD OF GOD is LIVING and POWERFUL, and sharper (tomōteros: “more terrible” or “more fearful.) than any two-edged sword, PIERCING even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a DISCERNER (kritikos: the ability to evaluate and make distinctions) of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
“All Scripture (every Word of God) is God Breathed (theopneustos: God’s breath) and is useful to teach us what is TRUE and to make us realize what is WRONG in our lives. It CORRECTS us when we are wrong and TEACHES us to do what is right. God uses it to PREPARE AND EQUIP his people TO DO every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
