A simple correction.
Anybody who is a believer in God through faith in Christ by the plan of God the Father established in eternity past would pay heed to the admonishment at the end of the Revelation of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus as communicated to His disciple John by His angel.
Interesting point that you bring up,..do you really mean to imply Joseph Smith lied when he claimed to come face to face with the Father and the Son, which would be in contradiction to the last few verses in Deuteronomy?

Revelations was written before the Gospel of Saint John, was a separate book, and was not meant to end all revelation. The warning about adding or subtracting to/from this book refers to the book of revelations itself, not to the bible, which did not exist at that time. Deuteronomy has a similar warning at the end of it which shows that revelation was not ending there either.

I do not know exactly which verses you are talking about, please be more specific. As a general rule: No, Joseph Smith did not lie when he said… Whatever :-) Please do not put words in my mouth; I don’t know where they’ve been. (GRIN)
I assume you are referring to http://scriptures.lds.org/deut/34 where Moses is complaining that there arose not a prophet in Israel like unto himself, someone that god new face to face? Nope, Moses was right when he wrote that for Joseph Smith had not yet been raised up as a prophet (Not for centuries).
I was talking about Deut 4:2 http://scriptures.lds.org/deut/4/2#2 which is very similar to Rev 22:19 http://scriptures.lds.org/rev/22 Which many use to say there can be no more revelations from God. (I think the argument is silly, God has always talked to those with faith, and he does not change…)
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to correct an unclear post.
