That says don’t add to or subtract from the Bible. It does not say, nor does it imply, that the Bible is all there is.

The apostle John already told us that no more knowledge than what he has written is required for us to receive salvation...That part of the argument is settled...It is recorded in scripture...It is a done deal...

Back to that “God is stingy” argument.

God is not stingy. He has given us much more than “what is required,” which would be a bare minimum.

God is not stingy. He gives with both hands. In addition to “what is required,” He gives us a wealth of things to comfort us and aid in our salvation.

God is not stingy. It seems to me that it must sadden Him that Protestants make such a big deal of rejecting all those gifts.

As a sinner, I am not arrogant enough to reject any of God’s gifts, especially those that help me work out my salvation in fear and trembling.
