"We now know ...

Stop right there. NOBODY is going to be discovering anything new about the bible in 2010. Its all twisting of words now. Revelation 22:18 "I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds anything to them, G-d will add to him the plaques described in this book."

[BuckeyeTexan]

That warning is specifically regarding the prophecy of Revelation.

[Dan(9698)]

The first place that is in Deuteronomy.

Do we throw out every thing past that?

"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds anything to them, G-d will add to him the plaques described in this book."

Which translation are you quoting?

[BubbaBasher]

G-d will add to him the plaques described in this book.

After re-reading your quote I started to laugh because you actually had a typo in it. I would love to have a plaque from G-d. I don't however wish to receive a plague. That single typo proves how easy it is for a translation to go astray.

Are you sure Revelation is translated correctly? Or did John write in contemporary American English?

“Stop right there. NOBODY is going to be discovering anything new about the bible in 2010.”

It’s not about the Bible itself, but modern translations. Unless you think translations are “inspired,” (I know some do), what’s the problem?

As for learning any more about the Bible, guess they might as well end Biblical archeology, heh?
