Still I believe we can agree that God and the Bible admonish people not to add anything as scripture that is not from God. And to beware of false prophets.
Yes to the history lesson, but the scriptures were there. Just not compiled yet.
IIRC, Revelation was written when John was about 90 and residing on the island of Patmos.
That should put it near the back of the New Testament.
As far as the chronology of the Biblical Books, I don't think it is clear with all of them what order they were written.
I have seen a Bible that attempted to compile all of the scriptures in the order in which they were written. I don't remember the order though. It's not that important anyway.
"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it..."
I think that scripture is self explanatory. And does not denote a time-line. Just a necessary admonition.
Finally, I should say that the words of both Moses and John are true. Man should not take it upon himself to add to or diminish the word of God.
Very true and my point exactly. Well almost exactly.
Prophets teach the word of God as they are moved by the Holy Ghost.
Yep
It is the same today as it was 2000 years ago
Not exactly. Things changed a bit since Jesus arrived. Still there are "prophets" that teach the word of God through the Holy Spirit.
Thanks for chiming in. When I posted my post just before this one, I noticed the post of yours that I am replying to now.
The LDS position is just that, that God is God over the whole earth, and has spoken to His prophets and his people where he has led them, not just to the geographical location of Jerusalem.
