Please note that I said the word wedding is not in the scriptures.....I did not say that the word wedding does not appear in various Bibles. The Hebrew language does not have a word for wed or wedding and the early Christians were not in to ceremonies and rituals because they thought them to be Pagan.

I'm aware of that one.
However, it is only in reference to the book of Revelations. (which was a stand-alone book (scroll) when written)

There are the other mentioned as well, which should all wisely be considered to apply to all of God's word and not just the book in which it's cited. That would make the most sense: you do not or should not tamper with the word of God in any way whatsoever, by adding to, taking away, supplementing, etc.

Deuteronemy 4:2, 12:32, Revelation 22:19, Galatians 1:6-9, Proverbs 30:5-6

Because it makes sense to you you say it is in the scriptures? The sky is the limit for imagination. Don't try to pretend to be Bible only because it does not matter to you what the scriptures say, you will just add what you want.

Hogwash!
None of these scriptures supports your claim.

There are sufficient warnings in both the OT and NT regarding adding to or taking away from the word of God.

For those who want to look them up, here are the correct spelling and listing.

At a reception as we would call it. The Marriage at Cana had a celebration which was not uncommon for the Jews, but was it Jewish? Was there a bridle chamber? But so much the scriptures do not detail.

As a general rule I would advise against adding to or taking away from the Bible. That’s why I don’t watch The Chosen

Doesn't the Bible already add and take away from itself? (the Synoptics, teachings of Paul...)
Why do we deify a book?

Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

I have encountered some that I thought had fallen into this trap. I asked them, "What would become of your faith if you put your whole library out on the curb on trash day?" The guilty are left mostly speechless. Or, alternatively VERY angry. How come? To be clear, I love the Bible and use...

You are chasing a ghost. The word wed or wedding is not in the scriptures. The event in Cana is a marriage ...no indication of a ceremony and the story pickups at the "reception"
There is a lot more to the history of it, but that information is in the period history, not the scriptures.
As I said, all wedding ceremonies come from Pagan sources and for that reason Jewish-Christians would have no interest in weddings. Now after Paul starts to convert Pagans into Christianity, they brought in some of their customs and weddings were one of those customs and even though the scriptures do not document it, I am sure the Gentile-Christians were having weddings during the biblical period, but still not a requirement. But even at that the first documented Christian wedding does not occur until the 9th century. Even the Catholics did not pick up on weddings until after the Protestants made church weddings a requirement in the 16th century.

If changing it means altering the meaning, that's not wise.
But a person can choose which translation they prefer.
Which could potentially have changed the original intent.

I put more faith in God's ability to use whatever means are available
to speak to us than trusting that what we have is flawless.

KJO reader: This is what the Word of God says.
NIV reader: Let's compare the NIV translation.
KJO reader: WHAT! ??? That's a terrible translation!
NIV reader: Are you saying it isn't the "Word of God"?
KJO reader: The NIV left verses out of the Bible!
NIV reader: No, the NIV kept the same verse numbering system
but left out verses that didn't belong there in the first place.
KJO reader: THEY REMOVED VERSES FROM THE BIBLE !!!!
NIV reader: No, that's not what happened.
KJO reader: Yes it is what HAPPENED !!!
NIV reader: Show me one.
KJO reader: Here you go.
NIV reader: My footnote accounts for that.
KJO reader: Accounts for verses removed from the Bible? ???
NIV reader: The footnote says: It does not appear in any New Testament
manuscript prior to the end of the 6th century.
KJO reader: It's NOT the Word of God !!!!
NIV reader: Seriously?

Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God",
unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

Do you do that?

[MatthewG]

Even when there's disagreement, it’s still the Bible. People simply hold different views—some lean more toward what human teachings suggest, while others focus more on what Scripture itself says. And then there are those who rely more heavily on the Word than on the guidance of the Spirit.

It’s all part of the journey of faith, and everyone’s approach tends to reflect where they are and how they’re growing.

THere are fake bibles.
So, this means that the Christian has to learn how to know what isnt, so that they are not deceived by a fake one.

One of the absolutle worst translations ever created is the : NIV
Its a truly horrible translation.
Avoid it.

And Here is a actual Fake bible., for example.

[Augustin56]

Strictly speaking, the Bible is NOT the Word of God. The Word of God is not a book. It is Somebody, namely, Jesus Christ. The beginning of the Gospel of John says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John is speaking of Jesus here. Add to that, 2 Peter 1:20 says, "Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation" So, everyone reading and self-interpreting Scripture is open to error. Jesus didn't write a book to spread His truths. He founded a (ONE) Church in which to do so. This Church wrote the New Testament and in the late 4th century set the canon (list of books which belong) for the Bible.

Thanks for your post.
This is something I have been questioning for a while.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning." - vs 1-2
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." - vs 14

If the Word became flesh, was He still the Word? Did Jesus ever declare Himself to be "the Word"?

Jesus was always God. What you're thinking about has been defined as the hypostatic union. Jesus is both 100% God and 100% man. Jesus had two natures, one human and one Divine. Add to that the fact that the Trinity is always united. Wherever you find one Divine Person of the Trinity, the other two are always present.
