Fear of adding to the Bible

[kittyio]

I have a worry that I have ended up believing that I can add to the Bible particularly Revelations just by saying or thinking I will. I have thoughts that say "if you do xyz then you will be sinning" meaning I will be adding or taking away from Revelations. Xyz can be something as simple as breathing. It's terrible and feel if I end up adding or taking away I will never be forgiven. When I try to read the Bible for help when i find encouraging verses, I keep worrying "the Bible didn't say that, you're reading it wrong."

Do research and fear not! We are all in the same boat especially when it comes to the Book of Revelation. Be blessed.

I have a worry

Worries come and go, or worries come and stay and grow, what can be done ?
Or, rather, WHO is able to help us in this world of sin and death?
Jesus.
Jesus. He came to help us,
and Jesus helps us today.
Not a fake Jesus, as there are many fakes in the world today.
The real true Jesus - He is Able to help us in all things to proceed from death to life, in this life and in the next life.

Worry keeps trying to come back. Worry keeps coming back, but we have a Helper and His Name Is Jesus. He Helps Perfect. Keep talking to Jesus... He Knows.

Do you think those thoughts are telling you the truth?

Hi,

Sorry you're struggling with this. But know it is simply OCD. You are not adding or taking away from the Bible because these are intrusive, neurotic OCD thoughts. You need to move on from this thought spiral. Tell yourself it's OCD and move on with your life.

Also, I think your theology isn't correct because you're worrying you can't be forgiven of a sin. You can be forgiven of any sin, as long as you believe in Christ.

Blessings and prayers.
