I have always held it to be just referring to Revelations, as unpopular as that might be in Christian circles...If we found another letter of Paul for sure, why wouldn't it have made scripture? I am still unsure why everything Paul writes that we know is his seems to make scripture...even him listing the names of people he greets at the end of his letters, seems not to apply to everyone...but I could be wrong...what if we found another letter by John?

It is also seems kind of strange that a letter refers to books that are not in the Bible, aka the angel disputing the body of Moses, and another event as well...plus in the Old Testament, it seems there are other books it relies on for information...plus if it were referring to a single word left out or added even by mistake we would fall into condemnation--I know sometimes I quote scriture but have bad grammer--and leave a simple phrase out, is this a sin?

Just wondering, God bless

rev 22 says that if we take away from the words or add to the words this mean is we change the meaning of the book


Re 22:18For 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:Re 22:19And 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.
