Friend, you have asked a good question! I believe that we have everything that we need to know already in the Bible. But does this mean that no 'new' books could be added to the Bible? I believe that once Jesus Christ came, He provided us with the greatest Revelation of all! And the New Testament is entirely based on Jesus Christ, given and taught through the Holy Spirit. The early church recognized certain books to be canonical without any doubt. Other books were doubted for a time but were eventually added because of their undeniable presence of God and the Truth that they contain. I believe that God's Word is 'complete' and there is nothing that we could add to it that could possibly make it more 'complete'. As Rev. 22:18 states, "let no man add anything to this book..", it may be seen through church history that this book signifies the end of the actual text of the Bible- signifying the Bible as complete at the end of Revelation. MacArthur's Study Bible suggests, "These are not the first such warnings (cf. Deut. 4:2; 12:32; Prov. 30:6; Jer. 26:2). These warnings against altering the biblical text represent the close of the NT canon. Anyone who tampers with the truth by attempting to falsify, mitigate, alter, or misinterpret it will incur the judgments described in these verses." Blessings! Nolan |
