18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. 19And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the Book of Life and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in this book. 20He that testifieth these things saith, "Surely I come quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
The book of mormon clearly adds to and subtracts from the prophecies contained in Revelation.
The Mormon Church teaches a plurality of Gods. They believe that God the Father (Elohim) was once a man on a separate world who attained godhood. He then had many spirit children with his wives, the oldest one being Jesus.
According to LDS beliefs, we were all Elohim’s spirit children before our carnal existence. Therefore, Jesus is our eldest brother. Jesus was one of a very few who attained godhood before living an earthly life.
How much of this do most Mormons believe?
The Book of Revelation is not the last book written. There are other books in the NT that were written after this one. Also, the Bible as we know it today did not exist in the same form as we know have it. It is a compilation, not a cronological text. Deuteronomy also has this same type of wording. Does that mean that everything after that OT book is to be disregarded. Get real people. God is speaking today just as he has over the history of man on the earth. You are so high and tight trying to prove he does not that you are ignoring all of the good he has done. You deny it? Well, then why pray? You do not think he is a deaf mute, do you? Ever had even one little sparkle of wisdom granted to you after a fervent prayer? If so, then you just blew your own argument. He is. He does. He loves all of his children and will direct their path if they lean not to their own understanding. How would he direct paths unless he could speak? There is a lot of ignorance in this world and I find that those who close their minds and hearts will continue to be ignorant.
The warning in Revelations does not apply to the Bible, nor does it apply to adding or subtracting other scriptures to the canonized set of scriptures.
Revelation was actually written BEFORE many of the books of the Bible, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, Jude, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus among them. Does that mean that Paul suffers the warning in the last page of Revelation?
What of the books that were removed from the Bible for one reason or another? There is a nice long list of them. There are eleven books that were removed from the New Testament alone. There are twenty eight books mentioned in the Bible, some quoted even, that don't appear at all. Does removing these books or not including them at compilation cause the suffering of the warning found in the last page of Revelation?
Revelation was originally its own book or pamphlet, not part of the Bible. It was included later in the compilation. Does that mean the compilers of the Bible suffer the warning in the last page?
The Bible itself as we know it, with or without Revelation, as actually compiled from various sources. Letters, scrolls, books, etc. So does compiling the Bible together suffer the warning found in the last page of Revelation?
