your very quote from Rev. proves my point that scriptures can and indeed, have been, manipulated! That is why the warning is there.
You really do not get it, and it is not the scriptures that are at fault, it is you cult members total misuse of them that is. You have made the written words your God, rather than the infilled spirit. Period.
No, but I worship God Himself which wrote the whole WORD (Bible) and that’s really the purpose to have the Bible written so that we can understand and how one is to be saved, and so that mankind can be reconciled to Himself.
It is simple my friend: Eph. 2:8-9 “For by Grace you have been saved through faith, and this (faith) not of yourself, it is a gift of God that no man may boast”. It’s really very simple. The word is His means to save us through faith in Jesus.
The Bible hasn’t been manipulated and changed, God wouldn’t be very sovereign to having created us, this universe and all of creation, as well as providing His plan for salvation, just to let it become corrupted (it hasn’t, btw. the contents which are identical to even the earliest records we have: the Dead Sea Scrolls).
And you still haven’t proved that I have “misused them”!!?
