many times when we discuss translations of the Bible, the thought that we shouldn't take away from or add to the word comes into the conversation, then it can branch off into A discussion on if "the book of this prophecy" means just Revelations or if it means the whole Bible

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.

Point one is that even the scriptures don't say that we can add words or take away words from scriptures but rather we don't add unto these things or take away from the words, this is saying that we can't add or take from the meaning of the words , so if we take out the Blood and take away from the Diety of Christ, then this is what Revelation 22:19, is taking about.
But on the other discussion people will say that "the book of this phophecy" is referring to revelation only, I have discoveried I think to be the true answer to the debate right within Chapter 22 of revelation. If the answer is that it just means revelation , then revelation is the only book we need and we can cut out or throw away( oh that hurts to even say this) all the other books in the Bible. But if the Book of prophecy means the Whole Bible then we need to take heed to all the modern Day preversions, which omit entire verses and does change the meaning of the words. So without any more delay here is the verse. Let Jesus set us free this morning with the truth, I say this for this verse is red letter in my KJB , meaning that Jesus is talking.

Rev. 22:7Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

the prophecy of this book has to mean the whole Bible or either Revelation is the only book we should be preaching from. so we are to live by every word that proceedeth from God we need the whole Bible not just Revelation.

You have set up a straw dummy for a subject of conversation.

First, the verse in question refers only to the Book of Apoacalypse. But secondly, the implicit injunction in Christianity, is not to misinterpret scripture; and to interpret scripture within the context of all teaching: scripture, Sacred Tradition and Church Teaching on the subject.

I reemphasize the part about interpreting any verse in the bible only in context with what other scripture says on the subject, because today it is so commonplace for one to focus on a sentence or two, literally interpret it, even if the inference is completely at odds with what is said about the subject elsewhere. It is called cherrypicking. It leads to heresy, and is a sin.

Also, interpret scripture in conjunction with what Sacred Tradition may say on the subject. The two almost always reinforce each other but often Sacred Tradition clarifies, shed light on, what scripture may be ambiguous on.

So, despite the Revelation verse only pertaining to that book, its message is good for all of Scripture [not just Revelation], Sacred Tradition and Church Teaching

God Bless.

I don't even know what you just said But guess that makes us even for you obvious you didn't know what I said, your spirit of argue has just caused you to argue the same statement that i said. you said "So, despite the Revelation verse only pertaining to that book, its message is good for all of Scripture " and i said " so we are to live by every word that proceedeth from God we need the whole Bible not just Revelation." then you just agreed with my strawdummie, so what would that make you, one who sides with a strawdummie?
