***False. St. Paul did not know that his letters would be named Scripture.

[2 Peter 3:16] Douay-Rheims: As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.

It appears Peter neglected to tell him!***

There is no evidence that the letters of Paul, written before most of the rest of the NT, were written by him with the understanding that they would be considered Scripture. When was 2 Peter written? Well after most of Paul’s epistles were written, that’s for sure.

It may not have been written by Peter; scholars have placed it anywhere from 60 to 160 AD.

Yes, Paul would not assume his words would carry the impact of those of the rest of Scripture; oh that the office of the Pope - with his ex cathedra claims - were so humble.

What nonsense...Paul was the apostle to the adopted church (not Peter or any person thruout history that you claim succeeded Peter)...Paul knew and confirmed that what he preached was sanctioned by God...And it was such a big deal that every Christian was directed to their contents...

Col 4:16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.

1Th 5:27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

Only so-called Catholic scholars...

Revelation is the last book in the Holy line of scripture...Revelation covers the return of Jesus right up on thru the final judgment, the end of the earth and our new home in Heaven...

There was nothing written after that and no need for it...

And the book of Revelation was written before the 1st Century had run it's course...
