I agree, certain details in the Bible are interpreted differently. It's the reason why there are so many denominations (I'm non-denominational for the record). But what holds the denominations together is that they should all be preaching the same Gospel of Jesus Christ.
When one, such as the professor, creates meanings that are not there and also claims divine affirmation, then they are putting man's words into god's mouth, a form of blasphemy. Why do other christians not attack these as false prophets?
What does the bible direct against people that add to the word of god to further their own ends?
Good question. Well I may be one of the only Christians so far to find this thread and speak up about this (I don't mean to sound proud, but rather speculative). And I can't speak for all the Christians. I just wish people like the one's who started this thread wouldn't be so puffed up as to make such grand claims.
The Bible does say that the man who adds to the word of God is susceptible to various things, one of which being the plagues described in Revelations (Revelations 22:18).
But I would categorize this incident as more of an issue or lack of understanding of the ends times and/or a religiously super-sized ego, with a side of over-zealousness.
