The Danger of Diluting Scripture 
Rev 22:19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Elohim shall take away his part from the Book of Life, and out of the set-apart city, which are written in this Book. He that bears witness of these matters says, “Yes, I am coming speedily.�?Amĕn. Yes, come, Master יהושע!

This final testimony and warning of Messiah to those who profess to be His followers is a clear command not to either augment (Revelation 22:18) or dilute the inspired "words" (not just "thoughts") of the Bible.

There are many people in the various cults following some leader who think he or she has received some new inspired word from God. That is very unwise.

Who is this GOD? He is one of millions who deceives people in the world.

But it is usually certain leaders in the mainline denominations who presumptuously either cull out or explain away those Bible verses they consider unscientific or offensive in some way. That is even more dangerous, for those whose names are not found "in the book of life" will be "cast into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:15).

Whether men believe it or not, the Bible is the inerrant Word of YeHoVaH in it's original state and became the word of god in it's translation state.

It is true that any two CHRISTIANS may interpret certain passages in different ways.

But they won't be too far apart if they believe the Bible to be the inerrant, understandable, inspired Word of YHVH in its original state., especially if they really believe that YHVH  is able to say what He means. The Bible authors do occasionally use figurative language, of course, in which case any symbols are usually explained in context. When the writer clearly intends to be understood literally, as in the first chapter of Genesis for example, it is dangerous to impose some metaphorical meaning on the passage because of outside considerations. This seems to be what Paul called "handling the word of ELOHIM deceitfully" (2 Corinthians 4:2) and can become a very slippery slope for those who choose that broad and easy way. It will be easier at Messiah's judgment seat to explain why we believed God than why we believed men who questioned ELOHIM.

2Co 4:2 but have renounced the secret ways of shame, not walking in craftiness nor falsifying the Word of Elohim, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves to every human conscience, in the sight of Elohim.  And indeed, if our Good News has been veiled, it has been veiled in those who are perishing,  in whom the mighty one of this age1 has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so that the enlightening of the Good News of the esteem of Messiah, who is the likeness of Elohim, does not shine on them. Footnote: 1See Lk. 4:6. For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Messiah יהושע the Master, and ourselves your servants for the sake of יהושע.
