Christians take this reference from John of Patmos, who was clearly a disturbed individual, and try to dishonestly tell people that it refers to the whole 'bible'. There wasn't a bible during this time, just a series of books, letters and gospels; many of which John of Patmos was not even aware of. In fact, Revelations did not even become a part of the collection until at least a century after it was written. Read this verse very carefully and you'll see that John was referring to his own delusional and schizophrenic book, and not the 'bible'.
"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." Revelation 22:18-
Oh the lies that must be perpetuated!

Don't let it worry your pretty little head.

Compare Revelation 1 with Daniel 10 and I'm thinking that these "prophecies" actually came from the dark side. The reason why the prophet Daniel, Jesus and the apostle John were successful in their service to God was because they did not draw on the powers of the dark side, thereby easing their load and making friends with them too. The demons were happy to prance around pretending to be virginal in the book of Revelation because they were dealing with somebody who was completely comfortable with his own life course and wasn't looking to learn from them. I think this is how Jesus managed to levitate back up to the clouds. Even the dark side can recognise how much lighter love makes the load.

Nobody is perfect in this world. Christian does make mistakes, but will change for the better too.

Christians use lots of dishonesty to spread their agenda while claiming truth. It's been common tactic from the beginning and they still use it.
