The Church fathers would have been wise to omit Revelation from the Bible. It is a tiresome dream-screed open to a million interpretations.

Thankfully, our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus was wise enough to have revealed to John on Patmos the things recorded in His book.

It is not only for us, but also for those who will have to persevere the Great Tribulation and the Remnant.

You said — The Church fathers would have been wise to omit Revelation from the Bible.

Well, although this is a bit of “tongue in cheek” commentary..., it’s *also* typical of how some people *think* about God’s Word, in that it was something that the “church” put together, instead of it being “God’s inerrant, infallible, complete and total Word”.

If the “church” was in the position of creating it, then “yes” — perhaps they should have chosen something a bit more “clean” and understandable so they could control their parishioners a bit easier... LOL...

But, since it’s actually “God’s Word”, we don’t get to “pick and choose” what we want to put in there and take out of there...

You would have it such.

Why not eliminate the Book of Acts while you are at it?

You are clueless to the meaning and value of Scripture.

You’ll have your day in Court. Meanwhile, enjoy your reveling in ignorance.

Boy, they sure got you hood-winked...

The fact that your church stuck Revelation into it's own bible when they didn't even believe what it said ought to open some eyes...God said HE would preserve HIS scripture whether your church agreed or not...Your church had no choice but to put Revelation in it's bible...
