It looks to me like he was bolding the words W-H took out. I just looked in my NIV and they are in fact gone. Do you see this as a problem?

I was in no way suggesting that "you can pick and choose all throughout the Bible, but not in Revelation..."
I believe the commands to leave God's words untouched in Deut. and Prov. etc., and I would never condone ANYONE adding/subtracting/altering the words of God.

I guess I'm not sure what y'all are trying to accomplish. It looks like you are defending the fact that there will not be consequences for messing with God's Word.
You said you're with Paladin, so this is where it looks as though those that take away from the Bible in other places should be ok.

So if I take words out of...say Joshua, my name will be taken out of the book of life?

And if yes, then does that mean that those who omit from the Bible, which is all prophecy, lost their place in the book of life?
Brother, this is huge.
