James you can count on me yes always.
I know there many religious groups .. denominations I believe is a better word, that say the passages in Revelation are only referring to that particular book of the bible. However, I do not nor does my rabbi or our congregations. The bible is a whole book.. 66 individual books with in a large book .. to keep it simple.
To make my point here is what I believe many groups have written books and I am not going to name call (let me just say groups) have written other books they refer to as G-d inspired this in my opinion would be adding to what the bible has already told us in the 66 books it contains. Than there are others who like to play the pick and chose game. Both are treading on danerous grounds.
Then we have those that would like to do away with the old testament and say it is not applicable today it is only for our learning. I say shame shame.. the laws and statures are set up forever and last time I looked up forever it meant there was no end.
If you don't want your name removed for the book of life I think it is a good idea not to mess around with adding or subtracting to any part of the bible.
Blessings,
Geketa
