"God created evil" (in some Bibles) ??
mmijares:
Actually, I do not have any problem if the meaning of "adding / taking" encompasses the whole scriptures. It is just that if I would imagine myself acquiring the very first copy of the Apostle's John letter (book of revelation), I would instantly think that it is referring to the prophecies written on it SINCE at the time of its writing, no canonized scriptures exist yet... even the the gospel and the epistles written by John himself were not available yet.
Now that the canonization is complete and we have the compiled Protestant Bible, which is incidentally does not contain Apocrypha, there began the listing of spurious passages. So, who is adding and taking what now?
I only hold onto God's promise of His Spirit guiding us in our understanding. Whatever mistranslations (including the term "rah"), additions, subtractions, inconsistencies, discrepancies, etc. that may be found (or allegedly found), God's message to mankind is still intact and it is all there in the letters in the compiled books we call Bible.
