How old, is Murphy's Law?

Question

I was reading the Bible, and ran across this in Revelation;

18
I warn everyone who hears the prophetic words in this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,
19
and if anyone takes away from the words in this prophetic book, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city described in this book.

Considering the fact that most folks don't have a clue to what the book actually means, isn't this, 'damned if you do, and damned if you don't'?

Answer 1

murphys law is anything that can go wrong will go wrong. what you have is a catch 22.

Answer 2

We don't have to know the exact details of what it means. Revelation along with what Jesus said and all the other prophetic books of the bible, give us enough information to know there will be a day that Jesus returns. It does not change anything about how I live my life. We do have a way to gage the times and seasons because of prophecy. And prophecy is another confirmation to the fact that God does exist and his word will be done. Every year that passes and every advancement of technology reveals and enables the fulfilling of prophecy we had previously never been able to understand. No one can take away from John's prophecy now. It's spread around the world in millions of bibles.

In an journey common because of the fact the Incarnation, in the direction of the flexibility of the Holy Spirit, God grew to grow to be united with human nature in the direction of the thought of Christ in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Christ subsequently is the two totally divine and totally human. it incredibly is taught that Christ's project in the worldwide secure giving people his teachings and offering his occasion for them to maintain on with as recorded in the 4 Gospels. The Church teaches that throughout the time of the direction of the keenness (suffering) of Christ and his crucifixion as defined in the Gospels, each and every physique have an threat for forgiveness and freedom from sin and so could be reconciled to God. The Resurrection of Jesus gained for people a obtainable religious immortality formerly denied to them because of the fact of unique sin. by skill of reconciling with God and following Christ's words and deeds, a guy or woman can enter the dominion of God, it fairly is the "... reign of God over people's hearts and lives". The Greek term "Christ" and the Hebrew "Messiah" the two recommend "anointed one", bearing on the Christian concept that Jesus' loss of life and resurrection are the fulfilment of the previous testomony's messianic prophecies.
