IF one studies the Bible, one soon enough realizes that there are mistakes.
These mistakes are not from the original Word of God.
These mistakes are the work of fallen man: the translators, the publisher, exalted “Bible teachers” who compose notes for various editions of study Bibles.
The world never tires of attempting to corrupt God’s Word.
Such as misnaming the Book of Revelation.
This was brought to mind recently while listening to an audio version of the Book of Revelation.
The listener was informed the he was listening to “The Revelation of St. John the Divine.”
The first two verses of Revelation sets the reader or listener straight on the authorship of the Bible’s last book.
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.”
–Revelation 1:1-2
As John testifies, the revelation came from Jesus Christ Himself.
John wrote down and testified of Jesus’ revelation.
One wonders how a Bible publisher could get something so wrong which is so clearly laid out in the first two verses.
The answer has to do with why the believer is to STUDY the Bible, not merely READ it.
DOES the reader tell others to “read their Bibles“?
CAN the reader find in the Bible ANY Scripture which commands the reader to read God’s Word?
DOES the reader remain unconvinced as to what he is to do?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
DOES the reader believe he is saved?

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
