There are many cults and religious groups today who are both adding and subtracting to the Word of God. It is a very serious responsibility that I have to teach or preach the Word of God and to never add to it or subtract from it. The results may be very serious.
Revelation 22:17-21 (English Standard Version)
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
