A wonderful Sunday to you my fellow steemians. Today's topic is a very important one, as the children of Israel prepared to enter the promised land, this principle was established to them.
Don’t add to or take away from the words of God.
Deuteronomy 12:32
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
The last book of the canon was also ended by John where he made similar statements.
Revelation 22:18-19
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.
Today, humans have got so many challenges in life, the community we live in has deviated us from the word of God. Thereby we are living in a culture that consistently seems to add to and take away from God’s Word.
Take a good look, the book of Genesis is a direct passage for us to learn from today. But so many writers attempt to perform amazing “linguistic gymnastics” in order to to fit the notion of billions of years into the book of Genesis 1.
God made it clear to us that he created earth in 6 literal days, but people regularly attempt to add to that message.

Now today also. God told us that when we die we shall surely face judgement and give account of how we have spent our lives here on earth. But many Bible teachers seem to want to skip that part of the message away for fear of offending followers and members, just to get so many followers.It will be more blessing to us and to them if they should communicate with the direct word God has given to us without subtracting or adding to it in any form.
My fellow steemians i believe you all have learnt a little lesson from God's word today. I felt i should write on this topic today Sunday, so that while we are in church, we should take note of not being deceived by any man.
God has given us the exact, precise message that we need for life. It behooves us to know and heed every last word!
God bless you.
HAPPY SUNDAY
THANKS FOR READING
