Is there anything to add?

Question

I have a question you know the people who wrote the old testament and the new testament? GOD SAID DON,t ADD OR TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM HIS BOOK did he know that there would come a time that there would not be anyone fit enough in our time to add to the bible or was every thhing said and done

Answer 1

given at the time there was no book, there were many parts handed down
and only in making the book did people add and take away anyway
so i never understand this part

edit
now it makes sense given what others have said

Answer 2

Actually, there is nothing in the Bible that specifically says anything about THE BIBLE. Just because THE BIBLE is God's word, that does not mean that all of GOD'S WORD is THE BIBLE.

Revelation 22:18 says that MAN cannot add to THE BOOK of THIS PROPHECY. That is not speaking of
THE BIBLE since there was no BIBLE back then.

So, when John says man can't add to THE BOOK of THIS PROPHECY, I can only assume that he is talking about the Book of Revelation and no more. Same with Deuteronomy 4:2; it is referring to The LAW and nothing more.

Answer 3

It is not true that God said so. In fact, I have just asked a question about the allegation that the bible is God inspired. The only authority about God inspiration is from Paul - no other author claims God inspiration. Secondly, all the books were written as separate books, and it's possible that there were many other writers who claimed that they were writing holy books, and it would have been folly of Paul to say that all alleged scriptures are God inspired. In II Timothy 3:16 Paul says "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;" . Putting the burden of proof aside, I believe that the correct translation of what Paul said should have been "All Scripture THAT is inspired by God.....". Unfortunately Christians don't want these matters to be debated!

Answer 4

Dear Friend,

Gods word is a perfectly relevant now, as it was 2000 years ago.

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

God is perfect and time does not apply to him, or our lord Jesus Christ. The bible was written by human hands, but the words were given by the Lord via the Holy Spirit. Therefore it is perfectly written for all time.

And hopefully this will answer the second part of your question

2 Timothy 3:1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them

I hope this answers your question

God Bless

Answer 5

I would agree that the ability to write Scripture ended for all time the split second the last apostle took their last breath. That is why we have a problem with things like Islam and Mormonism that claim to reinterpret the Scriptures and add to them.

Answer 6

That was in Revelations. And the scholars will say because the NT isn't ordered chronologically but PREFERENTIALLY that this statement only referred to the NT book of Revelations.

Answer 7

really that was not part of the bible at the time so it only refers to revelation.

Answer 8

he meant that what ever is in the bible should stay the same because it is his word and no one should change it

Answer 9

who knows i believe that the gnostic scriptures were destroyed i wonder why that is
