(...Continued) important is his religion to Joe Biden? In Promises to Keep, Joe Biden wrote about the importance of religion: "My idea of self, of family, of community, of the wider world comes straight from my religion. It's not so much the Bible, the beatitudes, the Ten Commandments, the sacraments, or the prayers I learned. It's the culture." (Joe Biden, Promises to Keep, 2007) By his own admission, Joe Biden's "religion" is based on "not so much the Bible", which God closed with the following stern warning: "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." (Revelation 22:18-19) And regarding a religion based on "the culture" instead of the Words of Christ, the Bible adds: "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ." (Colossians 2:8)
