To "add" to the Word of God has a deeper spiritual meaning than simply adding actual words. Consider: Christianity has been broken up into sects by religious leaders who have attached their particular interpretation to Scripture and decided that the way to God is through this or that denomination, minister or church. Haven't they, in a very real sense, "added" to the Word of God? Had they followed the spirit of the command that we cannot alter the Word of God, then Christianity would have remained a single Church, as Jesus desired.
(5:12)
