Had the Bible been canonized at that time when John finished Revelation?

Eternal Damnation.
Mark 3:29. KJV.
“But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:”
Then
Mark 3:29. New KJV.
But he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”.
Eternal Damnation v Eternal Condemnation....  |

Eternity is the greater reality and truth, sky.
What's your point?

My point is pointing out that Eternal Damnation is written in the Bible Morph... even thought some say it isn't. |

oh my gosh John!... that's so true! we've been on Earth long enough to want to start finding out for OURSELVES, what's true and what's NOT! yet we still want to believe certain false teachings. and you're right again!... MANY enjoy promoting that lie. and it's because satan has Earthly followers who he uses to trick people into believing HIS LIES! but soon, they WILL be done away with.
2Cor. 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Sky123,
Yes on one hand, no on the other hand. I believe we should only be exposed to it to see what is possible…..the knowledge of what is possible should serve as an inducement for us to discover personally the depth of Scripture. We should be seeking epiphanies and that can only be personal. It does not come so much from the interpretation of another. Perhaps scripture should be approached with the same mindset as a student of Zen Buddhism approaches a koan….a riddle to be solved that can lead to enlightenment. |

As I have said, some people enjoy that HELL is in the Bible for "them". It many cases, it just gives them more ammo to make fun and contradict virtually all of Jesus' teachings.
But then, even when it is shown how words were mis-translated, such as the word for Hell, they refuse to look at that mis-translation.

I give you credit for finding translations that do 'prove' your point.
But does that mean that Mark 16:18 should be restored to the Bible after most translators removed it?
That scripture reads:
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
