[5 of 5] DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FUTURE? "One the most significant evidences for the divine origin of the Bible is prophecy (2500 prophecies, 2000 already fulfilled). It is statistically impossible for the Bible's detailed prophecies to have been fulfilled by chance (as opposed to man compiling his guesses in a book, adding Christianese, and giving us today's world religion and cult books). The Bible has been thoroughly verified and explicitly warns against adding to or taking away from what God has given. The Bible repeatedly tells us to stick to the Bible and not add another word. Here are a couple examples: "You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take away from it (Deuteronomy 4:2).” "Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add nor take away from it (Deuteronomy 12:32).” With all due respect, all false faiths outside the Bible, completely go against what God just commanded there. They have constantly added man's teachings and rewritten, chopped, and spliced God’s Word. Here is more from the Bible: "Every word of God has proven to be true. He is a shield...Do not add to His words or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar (Proverbs 30:5-6).” If we will only stick to God's Word in the Bible, it will be a shield to protect us from man's harmful lies and false teachers ripping us off. Here's more from Revelation 22:18-19: "I testify to everyone who hears the words this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which were written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of book this prophecy, God will take away his part in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are written in this book.” So God's message is this: "Don't add to or take away from Scripture; leave it alone because I, God, have put my stamp of approval on it 2500 times." Isn't that good enough? Why do we have to keep going somewhere else? Just like the Old Testament stories of the people groups constantly straying and coming back, only to stray again, even today we are looking for some other ideas, theories, or prophets to guide us.
Why can't we just get in the Bible and enjoy it straight from the mind of God!?
