@DevsBro

Seems bad drawing all over your Bible. I dunno. You hear about people underline things...and suchlike.

Its fine.

If it's done in an effort to further your understanding how could that be bad?

The physical form of the bible should not be considered holy. Just the text.

If the printers can change the text, then you can annotate.

Nah should be fine.

There are some specific references about "adding to" God's Word, but seems like they're about quoting or publishing.

Proverbs 30:5-6

Mentions that God will prove you a liar, which if you're just annotating, wouldn't apply.

Revelation 22:18-19

Talks about adding and removing. The latter of which is kinda tough without using whiteout or something. Also probably refers just to the book of Revelation.

I suppose.

This makes a lot of sense. In a cynical, angsty atheist kind of way.

Yes but.

God also understands intent and symbolism. This is why he makes use of iconoclasm himself:
