What is wrong with this statement?

Today the Bible is complete.
Reve.22:18 reads "I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book:
If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book
See verse 19 as well.

God bless,

The bible was complete in 384 when Pope Damasus 1 declared the canon closed. Every word in Protestant bibles was approved by Pope Damasus and the Church council. Then, 1,133 years later in Germany, something happened. A single disobedient priest, by his own authority, lead subsequent millions astray by censoring scripture. And Satan has profited ever since by the division in the Body of Christ. Now, Luther had his reasons, but the results were not at all what even he wanted.

For those who have only scripture as the basis for their faith, wouldn’t it make sense that they want even more scripture rather than less?

Christ’s peace be with you.

Jean,

I hope you had the chance to review my post number 13 where I deal with canon issues and this verse.

Yes - Today the canon of the Bible IS complete and is found in any catholic edition of the Bible available at Any Bookstore.
  1. Since this verse is in the Book of Revelation which was not included into the Canon of the Bible for another 300 years, this verse refers only to the Book of Revelation and NOT to the canon of the Bible.
  2. Since the official canon of the Western for 1000 years was the Latin Vulgate, and this is the canon which formed the basis of Luther’s and others canon, it follows that it is the 66 book bible that was changed FROM the Larger Canon. What is the oldest 66 book canon you can find?
  • So who “Changed one word…”🤷
Peace
James
 
allhers,
Not completely sufficient?
2Tim 3:16 tells us All scripture is God-breathed. Is that sufficient enough? 🙂

God bless,

Jean, Please read the post above yours, #18. God bless you too.🙂
 
****This is a paraphrase of a “Statement” of faith that is on the web:

“We believe that the Bible is the written revelation of God. It is complete and sufficient in all respects. The Scriptures are “God-breathed” and therefore completely and fully authoritative in and of themselves. For their authority, they rely upon no council, creed or church, and are authoritative simply and only because they are the Word of God. The Scriptures, which embody the speaking of God, partake of His Divine authority, His power.”

Frankly, it left me incredulous. You might recognize the source, who may not be exactly a friend of this site. Critique?
Non-Cathloic make this a lie by they self read John 20,23 24
