If you don’t question the Septuagint... you might be a Catholic... as most of your Protestant brothers discount the inclusion of the Deuterocanonical books in the OT. I applaud your understanding of John 1, I hope and pray it extends to John 6 as well.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Repeated again Deuteronomy 12:32; Proverbs 30:5-6; Jeremiah 23:28-40; Ezekiel 2:5-7; and John repeated again for those who ignore the prophets Revelation 22:18-19.

Of course John 6 was 'given' by the Heavenly Father, as even Christ Himself specifically stated in John 6:35-37 comes from the Father not Peter, an object, church, or anyone else ... Christ said All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out....

**Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.**

And yet, Luther ADDED and SUBTRACTED from the Bible.

You realize the Deuterocanonical is included in both the Septuagint and every single edition of the Christian Bible prior to the 16th Century.

Why wouldn’t the admonition to ‘neither shall ye diminish ought from it?

Also, if you accept chapter 6... how do you deal with the protestant grumbling present throughout John 6:52-59?
