Well, we'll just h ave to agree to disagree about Maccabees. I won't accept any arguments made from it.
As for your final statement, give the the verse, and I will check it out.
Note that you said Macc. wasn't in the Bible, yet it was clearly
in the King James Version Bible first edition -- kind of makes light of Rev 22:
19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
