you can use the codex sinaiticus for reference. it's pretty much the same as the codex vaticanus and alexandrinus.

Revelation 1:11 saying: What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamus, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

absolutely -- me and you included. and that's hard, and i'm equally guilty
i just didn't want you to pass over pel insinuating mem isn't a Christian, for spurious reasons -- that's what she responded to.
yes, you can tell i love her. i call her a friend and sister
should she have held her tongue? yeah, ideally. but i understand why she didn't because i do the same thing.
in several threads i have telephone-man personally attacking me baselessly a lot, and i have been pushed to respond sometimes without grace even though i've striven to be patient and wise.
so i forgive mem, and i forgive pel -- and i forgive cellular-person too.
your overall point, blues, is 100% right: we need to learn to be able to overlook insult and speak with love, always.
it is our continuing debt, the only thing we should owe anyone: love

Yes!
2 Peter 2:1-3 KJV
[1] But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. [2] And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. [3] And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

from here:
mem pointed out that a person who gives themselves to politics remains political even tho they may claim religion as their justification.
your response was to call her unchristian.
then:
you oddly cast some weird secular political slur at me, in fact justifying mem's observation that claiming religion does not legitimately remove yourself from politicking.

There is also James warning.
James 3:1 says, “Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.”

The word “study” here isn’t used in a scholarly sense where you’re supposed to sit down, devote time, and attention to acquiring knowledge from the Bible.
Study in 2 Tim. 2:15 more accurately translates to “make every effort” or “try hard.”
G4704 spoudazó (source: BibleHub)
Strong's Concordance
spoudazó: to make haste, hence to give diligence
Original Word: σπουδάζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: spoudazó
Phonetic Spelling: (spoo-dad'-zo)
Definition: to make haste, to give diligence
Usage: I hasten, am eager, am zealous.

I believe this was discussed earlier…
Revelation 22:18 KJV
[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:
It also says ‘written’, so it could be taken along the lines of “All that hear the prophecy of this Book, let it be known that whoever adds to the words written in this book, God will add the plagues etc.”.
Thus the warning isn’t directly directed at the hearers, deaf people included.

okay I can kinda see that, but it looks like he is only addressing people that hear the words of the prophecy.
Kinda like if I wrote you a letter, “Dear crossnote” then everything in the letter is addressed to you. In the same sense, John seems to be saying “Dear people who hear the words of this prophecy” which, to me, means it’s only to people who hear the prophecy. Who knows for sure.
