I guess that eliminates the Nicene Creed and the doctrine of the Trinity also. Right?

A similar statement is found in the OT. I guess that eliminates the NT.

Besides, the last verse of the NT is not the last verse written. Much of the NT wa written after the last book of the assembled books was written.

Don’t give us that “grade school” logic.

Revelation is believed to have been written around 90 AD by John, the last surviving Apostle.

No, the Doctrine of the Trinity is found in the Bible, although that word is not used.

No, the Book of Revelation was the final book written, in 96 AD

But all books that made it into the NT Canon had to be from Apostles or those closly associated with an Apostle.

And an Apostle had to have seen the Resurrected Christ and have the signs of the Apostle.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Much of the New Testament was written by Paul, and were letters to the Christians in the churches he had founded...

Several of the letters were written from prison, or during his journeys...

John, the beloved disciple of Jesus, was just a young man when Jesus was crucified and rose again, a finished work of redemption for us....

Paul was long dead when John, now an old man, wrote the Book of Revelation...

Just Golly Gee, broncobilly = I just labored through my mini- treatise in my post # 243 to answer to BlueMoose- and you go and do it VERY WELL in these few short sentences!!!

I wish I had read your post first! But I'm going to save it for future reference - it's an irrefutable answer to that red herring of 'faith alone'

Thanks!
