SCRIPTURE

"Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." — Proverbs 30:6 (ASV)

People are not to mingle revealed truth with their own imaginations and traditions. In speculating on the unseen, the risk of error is indefinitely great, and that error God reproves by manifesting its falsehoods.
