ADDING OR DELETING TO THE WORD OF GOD

Moses was warned by God not to add to or delete from His word. Jesus also made the same admonition in the book of Revelation.
This would mean from the original text before it was translated into English and other languages. We do find that some of the interpretations may differ from each other. That is why it is good to have a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance in order to check what the original word indicated in both the Hebrew and Greek. It is also a plus to have a copy of the introduction that the interpreters wrote in the original King James Bible admitting that there could have been errors.

An example of word’s having different meanings would be the word “fear” in the King James Bible. It could also be interpreted “revere”. Another example would be the word hell which could be interpreted “grave”.

Scripture:
Ye shall not add unto the word, which I command you, neither shall, ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. (Deuteronomy 4:2)

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: And 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. (Revelation 22:18-19)

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
We are not to add to or delete from God’s original word.

Our Father appreciates the fact that you are trying. May God’s blessing be upon this
study of His word, Amen.
