You don't know your Bible.

In Revelations, it clearly states that nothing can be added nor taken away to the Bible.

Revelations is the last book of the Bible (written and added after Christians added the other books).

My logic is faultless.

I don't think so.

The Bible is a library. Each book was written independently. To say that Revelation, which was written on the Isle of Patmos, prohibits changing the words of other books of the Bible is to add words to the book of Revelation. If this phrase was in the original writing, it didn't apply to any other book. If added when Revelation was included in the Canon, it was violated.

No, it isn't. A group that adds new books to the bible (see: "Mormon") may not be "Christians" afterwards, btut hat's not the same as declarign them "cultists."

Note that Protestants and Catholics have somewhat different Bibles. That means someone there is a cult, by your "faultless" logic.

When Revelations was written there wasn't a bible yet. The books of the New Testement were not decided until about 400AD.

Nah, Sauropod, you're a knucklehead pretending to great knowledge but displaying your ignorance with every post. The closing verses of the Bible clearly state that nothing is to be added or taken away from "this book." Book, in this sense, refers only to the "The Revelation of Jesus Christ," not to the Bible as a whole. The Bible is made up of many "books." Go get an education, then come back and argue.
