needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints .

You see, the true faith was once delivered to us in the 1st century, and this true faith was and still is circumscribed or defined by only those scriptures that were accepted by the Old Testament Church by the time of Jesus, and then by the 1st century Christian churches after the time of the cross. None of the 1st century churches accepted the Apocrypha or Intertestamental writings when the true faith was once completely delivered to the Saints in the 1st century AD at the completion of the book of Revelation, and neither did Jesus, the Apostles, or their eyewitnesses, who shared in the writing of the 1st century Holy Scriptures. So, we must thank God that the Protestant Reformation, about a Millenium and a half after the 1st century AD, encouraged and eventually, at least, helped to bring back the true Holy Scriptures without the pollution of the Apocrypha or any other such unholy writings, although, at first, at least one Protestant translation that I am aware of, did include them. Anyway, it was eventually a return to the truth faith! The true word! The true Jesus, who the scriptures tell us is the word of God (Revelation 19:13)!

But, for the Catholic Church, it brought Judgment upon them by their having added to the true faith and word of God, Jesus Christ, for we read,

Church or anyone else for that matter to complete it hundreds of years later as many Catholics and many others so think. No, the Hebrew Canon was completed by the Old Testament Church, which was the nation of Israel, before Christ's coming to earth. They did not include the Apocrypha in their canon for many good reasons (plus, later on, Christ, nor the Apostles, nor their eyewitnesses, ever quoted from any of the Apocrypha writings in Holy Scripture after Christ came to earth), which is why the Hebrew Bible to this very day does not include the Apocrypha. And, in principle, even the New Testament canon was completed by the end of the 1st century AD with the completion of the last book of the canon, the book of Revelation, likely in 95 AD. Those scrolls or manuscripts that the apostles had written, or one of their or Jesus's eyewitnesses had written such as James, Jude, or Luke, the physician, were passed from church to church in the 1st century. Although these scriptures had not all yet been compiled into one book until that became possible, and they were not mass produced but rare until the printing press hundreds of years later, the canon was completed, in principle, when the last book of the canon, the book of Revelation, was written by the Apostle John on the Island of Patmos, as I said, likely in 95 AD.

Now, this is all very important because Jude, in the 1st century, states,

Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was

Revelation 22: 18 I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which 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 from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book .

When God here says, if any man shall add unto them [the words of this book] , God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book , this book does not just refer to the book of Revelation, for Jesus, the word of God, is a cohesive whole, and He, the word of God, being added to with another foot will add to His legs as well. And to add to Him another eye will add to His head as well. And to add to His arms will add to His torso as well, and so on. Likewise, to add to one part of the whole word of God or Christ such as the book of Revelation, also adds to other parts of the word of God. And to add to other books of the word of God also adds to the book of Revelation. The word of God, Jesus Christ, you see, is a cohesive whole, and the true Christ is circumscribed or defined only by the true Holy Scriptures as a whole. So, if anyone adds or takes away from any of the true Holy Scriptures as the Catholic Church has done by adding the Apocrypha to the word of God who is Jesus Christ, they have added to Holy Scripture and are, therefore, under the wrath of God for so doing according to Revelation 22:18.

The true faith is the true word of God!

Blessed are you all whose faith is circumscribed or defined by only the Hebrew and Greek ancient manuscripts of those books found in our Protestant Bibles, which exclude the Catholic Apocrypha and all other similar writings. Why? Because whatever scriptures you hold to as your authority determines what Jesus you follow. Yes, there is more than one Jesus out there, but only one is the true Jesus Christ, and that Christ is circumscribed or defined by the Holy Scriptures or books found in our Protestant Bibles alone, as long as, of course, the translators' goal was to literally remain as close as possible to the many ancient Hebrew or Greek manuscripts without seeking to paraphrase them but literally translate them. Indeed, even though we do not have the original manuscripts of Holy Scripture; nevertheless, because we have such a wealth of many ancient manuscripts, we can always compare with these ancient Hebrew or Greek manuscripts to help make sure that we come to the best translations possible, which is important for those to do who teach the word of God. Yes, we can give thanks to God that He has made sure that His Holy Scriptures would remain accurate even to this very day.

Actually, in principle, God's canon of Holy Scripture was already completed in the 1st century AD. It was not left for the Catholic

Furthermore, Catholicism holds to another Jesus, not the true Jesus, because they have added to the word of God, the true Jesus, to create another Jesus, a Jesus that cannot save but is instead a counterfeit Christ to lead them to destruction. Of course, during our time, every Christian church is now following after a counterfeit Christ, the Antichrist, Satan himself as God's Judgment against them, for God's Final Judgment on this world [had to] begin at the House of God on May 21,1988, against the whole corporate Christian Church, which includes all Christian churches. But, because we are taught by Holy Scripture that if anyone adds to or takes away from any of the word of God after it had been completed in 95 AD by additional supposed direct, extra-biblical Revelation of any kind, such as extra writings, dreams, visions, tongues, direct prophesyings, voices, so-called words of knowledge, or any other kind of supposed such direct Revelation from God, that person or people have placed themselves under the wrath of God without even, perhaps, knowing it, as has been the case, not only with the Catholic Church but also the whole Charismatic Movement itself because they all believe that they have received direct, extra-biblical Revelation from God in some form or another after the 1st century AD.

Now, the Lord refresh your spirits to be patient and to endure all hardship until He appears with healing in His Wings! Love you all!!
