18 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:
19 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.
So, what does this comply to?
I feel like an idiot. I will confess my stupidity here. I feel guilty of this from time to time. Not because I purposefully change words in the text or meaning, but one time someone posted a bunch of bad things about a political figure and referred them to the Anti-Christ with biblical evidence. I was like, that stuff isn't even in the Bible! Well, it was. I just had never heard that stuff. I was also a teenager, two or three years as a Christian.
One time I was talking to my sister about dating. A guy once told me you had to be equally yoked. I agreed, but I wasn't thinking of what it actually meant. I was under the impression of something like being the same or meant to be. I learned shortly after about being equally yoked and Christians should only date Christians. When I told my sister what my friend told me, "you have to be equally yoked," she asked me what that meant. I was pretty shocked she didn't know. I wasn't thinking right when I described it to her and I think I thought of the word "yolk" rather than "yoke." LOL, yeah, that's my brain. I told her you just have to be the same. I think I said physically, mentally and spiritually. Well, yeah, on the spiritually part with salvation, but I failed to explain correctly. I think I just wasn't thinking and I don't know why I said it that way to her. That was in a text. I feel like such a dummy. It's like I had it on the tip of my brain associating it with something where you are alike (which I know is being in the faith as believers) and I described it differently.
Lastly, I have this cutesy lovey verse on my bedroom wall. "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine," (part of Song of Solomon 6:3). I always get this sense of "what's mine is yours" whenever I read that verse. I don't believe that is what is being said here. I believe it's just a verse about belonging. My husband was wrestling (playing) and we were keeping something away from each other. I said, "It's mine too! Like that verse over there! "I said, "my beloved's," in the second part instead of "beloved." When I said that, I was just joking to my husband about ownership of whatever object we were playing around with. I had also been misreading that verse all along. No wonder I kept getting a "what's mine is yours" thought about it. Anyways, I felt bad because I was just kidding about the verse and just playing around, just innocent and aggravating him. I hate that I did that. I don't hate that I misread it as much as I talked about it out of context.
All of this I have prayed over and repented. NEVER would I EVER purposefully change the words in the Bible or misinterpret scripture. I love it and I cherish it! I don't know why I was joking around about it. I guess I was just playing around so much that I pointed out the verse just playing around too. I hate when people make shirts that say something similar to scripture and they tag the "fake verse" with something like "Me 24:7." I feel disrespectful and like an idiot.
