Incorrect. The Bible does not state that. It's obvious that John the Revalator is referring to The Book of Revelation specifically when he said that things shouldn't be added to
his own book. Otherwise, many books in the Bible don't belong, since they were written and added many years
after The Book of Revelation.
On the same token, many plain and precious truths have been lost from the Bible. Eighteen books are missing from it:
- Book of the Wars of the Lord (Numbers 21:14)
- Book of Jasher (Joshua 10:13; 2 Samuel 1:18)
- Book of the Acts of Solomon (1 Kings 11:41)
- Book of Samuel the Seer (1 Chronicles 29:29)
- Book of Gad the Seer ( 1 Chronicles 29:29)
- Book of Nathan the Prophet (1 Chronicles 29:29; 2 Chronicles 9:29)
- Prophecy of Ahija (2 Chronicles 9:29)
- Visions if Iddo the Seer (2 Chronicles 9:29; 12:15; 13:22)
- Book of Shemaiah the Prophet (2 Chronicles 12:15)
- Book of Jehu (2 Chronicles 20:34)
- Sayings of the Seers (2 Chronicles 33:19)
- An Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians that precedes our current 1st Corinthians (1 Corinthians 5:9)
- An earlier Epistle to the Ephesians (Ephesians 3:3)
- An Epistle to the Church at Laodicea (Colossians 4:16)
- Prophecies of Enoch (Jude 1:14)
- Book of the Covenant (Exodus 24:7)
- The manner of the Kingdom, written by Samuel (1 Samuel 10:25)
- The Acts of Uzziah, written by Isaiah (2 Chronicles 26:22)
As for my views on the Pope, I respect him, but believe he doesn't have the authority to be acting in the name of God. And I about cringe every time I see him in his fancy dress, which is very hypocritical.
