Off subject, but author Jeff Charles should know better.

He said Paul wrote over 2/3 of the New Testament. Not true, not even close.

Luke wrote more than anyone at about 24% I believe (Luke, Acts), and Paul comes in second at about 23%.

Amazing how many people state this and don’t know how wrong they are.

Ravi? Loved the guy.....sadly, no idea how to respond. His sin was grievous but will I condemn? No - I am a sinner saved by grace too. But when I depart this life I hope to leave with a clean conscience, clear with others and washed by His blood....

I think by that, the author was referring to the NUMBER of inspired epistles that formed part of the New Testament Canon of scripture.

Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatian, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, II Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon ( and maybe, just, maybe, Hebrews ).

That’s at least 13 of 27 or nearly half of the New Testament (not 2/3 ).
