Inerrency and authority discussions.

Rev. 22:18-19 DOES NOT refer to books of the bible apart from the book of Revelations. To suggest it does, does violence to the principles of hermeneutics that we use to interpret the rest of the entire scripture. However, that said, the... word of God (all scripture) is no less THE inspired word of God, it is simply wrong to make those verses say anything beyond the book as John originally wrote the Book of R. This is crucial, because if the fact the NT was written in Koine greek, was written that way so EVERYONE could understand it. I am reminded of a translator's challenge translating into a Peruvian dialect. There was no word for paper or book in the entire language. The natives however, when the minister opened the bible and disclosed God to them, called the book: the skin of God. So the term "skin of God" is still used to this day to translate book or page. This is the dilemma of the translator, and I would not be quick to pick up stones on this one.
