In other places Eusebius disputes the opinion that Revelation was written by the Apostle John. And this despite the fact Irenaeus (who claims to have known Polycarp, who knew John) was certain that the Apostle wrote It. For some reason, obviously compelling to Eusebius, he felt justified in contradicting Irenaeus’s emphatic statements regarding the Johannine authorship of Revelation. Eusebius’s countering of Irenaeus’s witness in this area surely indicates that this great chronicler of the Church did not conceive of Irenaeus as above reproach on historical matters.

Might be a good idea to let everyone know from where this cut and paste comes from.

Thank you and you are probably right, I should. But I am not going to get into a war of historians with the likes of people who would make such statements as truth based on uninspired men of old with their own axes to grind. The word of God is its own interpreter and I have been avoiding these lengthy discussions of what some old guy or saint or pope said and I'm sick of reading it. I will stick to the word of God and let my post speak for itself. Once again like the dog who gets his nose shoved in its own feces, I smell the stink of error everywhere here as in the churches and no one is really searching for truth but busy defending the errors of old. Thank you, Christians, for proving once again that it will require divine intervention to again establish something worthy of Jesus Christ.
