I wrote : When are you getting rid of Revelation???

You responded . why would I want to? It is the revelation of Jesus Christ, the end of prophecy

!!! Use your logic, brother. Because the Jews didn't accept it, thus we must remove it from the Canon. Also, it is a Deuterocanonical book and was NOT universally accepted by the Church. The same arguments you use vs. the OT Deuts you somehow drop when discussing the NT Deuts. Don't you see your position?

If memory serves me correctly, the writer of Revelation was a Jew.

Not only that, but they treat the OT as something unrelated to the NT. Go figure. The Septuagint seamlessly connects the OT and the NT. The "jewish" canon of Jamnia doesn't.

I'm sorry but Revelation is a summing up and an explanation. There is no theology contained therein that is contrary to the rest of the bible. It does not advocate the worship of angels, but just the opposite. Nowhere is one led to use witchcraft to divine the future. The Jews don't like to think that Christ revealed anything so that point is moot.
