Don't make me laugh! Your context implied that a long time had passed before any of the Bible books were written. You probably said so to make the impression that the "church" was the arbiter of what was true way before there even was any New Testament scripture.
Cynical Bear made the statement that your implication was wrong and proved it by showing the probable dates for when each book was written - most within the first few decades after Christ's ascension. You constantly have stated, "Some books weren't even written until the second century.", implying that we cannot have certainty that the authors WERE even who we know them to be.
If you had said the Scriptures weren't even written until twenty or thirty years after the ascension, then no one would have argued about it, since it is true. That is really hardly any time at all considering the mission the disciples undertook to preach the Gospel across the world. But to say "a generation" or "generations" makes it sound like your usual second century and beyond contention rather than the truth.
He seemed to be hiding behind double speak. It’s what they must do to attempt to deflect being contradicted by scripture and truth.

A generation is not a long time? Seems like a long time to me.

It was. And 350 years before the Canon was accepted.

Who wrote Hebrews, Jude, or II Peter? With proofs, please.

Can you show me that II Peter was written by Peter? Or when it was written and by whom?
