For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Faced with heresy and claims to late revelations, the early church was constrained to retain the historical dimension of its faith,the ephapax, or the “once for all,” revelation of God in Jesus Christ.

JustARide said:Oh, no need to thank me. The entertainment value of your posts more than suffices. And yes, my nihilist cat and I are in complete agreement about destroying you.
But please, continue with your cut-and-pastings...
What do you think?
John is only refering to the letter he is writing. His letter given to the churches was not part of the Bible until the canon was decided upon.Rev. 22
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book.

NOTE: Those tiny points of light in the sky when it gets dark are called 'stars'. ( And when you work out how to reach them you can write your own book) Some of them do blow up on occasion. In no way should this be construed as a sign that there is, beneath such an explosion, any form of saviour. Should such a misconstrual happen, the author will not be held responsible for the avalanche of arrogance, zeal, bigotry, humanocentricity and other vile acts which will surely follow the residents of the planet into time eternal until someone sees fit to erase the denizens of the world and let the author start over.
