New addiditions to the Bible

[HandOfZek]

I spent a great deal of time talking to (mainly Baptist and Lutheran) pastors, and I always asked some questions that they'd never heard before.

If the Bible is the Word of God, written by mortal men who the Lord actually spoke to and were told to write the Bible out according to His specifications, then will there be any NEW additions to the Bible before the coming of Christ? I know most everything is covered up until the end of mankind, but new additions could try to save more souls by saying, "THIS is the event foretold in the Book of Whatever, and next we will be seeing THIS." The Bible was written by men that were chosen by God to do so, why wouldn't there another man or three to add onto what's already there? The Bible didn't come out all at once like a novel or something, so why not continue the story (though I KNOW it's pretty much finished, there's still plenty more that could be said).

The Baptist pastor said that the Mormon Church took the bible, and added a false book to the end of it, and believed that the Bible was finished as is. The Lutheran pastor said it was definitely a possibility that some sort of disciple would come forth in a time of chaos and add more words from Christ himself to help bring back some order when we needed it.

This raised many questions in my mind, Do you think that there is more Bible yet to be written?

How is that well played? I have to stretch to make it have anything to do with the original topic.

Anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. – Leviticus 24:16

^ new additions wouldn't hurt

look man if you're the hand of zek (whomever the fuck that may be) don't get your mind clouded with these pop culture icons that think they know what you're thinking. go out and FIGURE IT THE FUCK OUT FOR YOURSELF. would you rather be a lion or a fucking sheep? because it's better to be a lion for a day, than living a lifetime as a lamb.

I remember a verse.

Says something along the lines of:
If your eyes betray you; pluck them out. For it is better to be blind in the kingdom of Heaven, than to have sight in the land of Hell.

Paraphrasing, of course. I don't know the exact verse.

The current bible doesn't actually have all of the books in existence in it from what I understand theres quite a few more that have to do with Jesus's life and other things that just didn't make the cut to get into the bible.

Thank you to those that answered my question/contributed to original discussion.

Having said that, this forum fucking sucks. I make a thread about the possibility of more books being added to the bible (without even stating I'm Christian, and that I believe what it says [which I don't]), and almost immediately it turns into a Bible bashing fest by those that don't think the Bible really is the Word of God. What's wrong with y'all? You grab EVERY chance you see to spout your opinion (that no one asked for), and belittle the beliefs and faith of others.

What ever happened to tolerance, and <3?

The Baptists that I've meant say that the Bible is complete, and that nothing should be added to it or taken from it. They use Revelation 22:18-19 of the Bible too support their claim.

According to those verses Joseph Smith and various other people who have added or taken from the Bible should have suffered from plagues.

Whether or not the Bible could do with new additions is I suppose subjective; some things removing the justification of antihomosexual prejudice would be nice.

Depends.

The bible cannot have any new additions to it, for it is the inspired word of God and is sufficient. To claim that more will be added is contradictory to the bible itself.

I applaud your sincere searching, but I would advise that you look to find professors of the nearest bible college or spend time with more local pastors, seeing as most people on this website want to have nothing to do with God or Christianity (as you can probably tell from many of the previous posts).

Pray to God for an answer, He is not a pagan God, you'll get one.

Can anyone say 'Word'?
