Removing the rubber band  from the neatly rolled up newspaper today, which was deposited into our letterbox, revealed that there were pages missing. The pages I cannot find are one and two and nineteen and twenty. I think that is correct. What a disappointment!

Rolled up paper

That made me think about what the Bible says about those who take away from the Bible. And not only that, but also what the Bible says about those, who subtract from the Scriptures and add to the Scriptures.

ADDING

We are to keep the commands, but we are forbidden to add to them. If we add to the commandments the Lord will rebuke us and prove us to be a liar.

The warning to those who add is this:

Everyone who adds will be plagued.

TAKING AWAY

 We are to keep the commands, but we are forbidden to subtract from them.

The warning to those who take away is this:

Everyone who takes away will lose his share in the tree of life and his share in the holy city.

THE BIBLE IS SACRED AND THE WORDS OF THE BIBLE ARE NOT TO BE ALTERED!
