By all accounts credible scholars agree on when each of the books of the New Testament were written. The last, Revelation, was written sometime in or close to 96AD. That would put all of them written between 37AD, only 4 years after Jesus ascension, and 96AD. The insinuation on the original post was that the original Apostles were no longer around when scripture was written and it was the RCC that was responsible for giving us scripture. My contention was that it was the writings of the Apostles long before the RCC.

And, I agree with you. It was another that chose to glom unto what a "generation" really was rather than amend the mistaken comment. I guess it didn't jibe with the party line to have to admit the truth.

More idiocy. I explained that generation in the context (as in generation to generation) that I wrote it meant that a whole new generation had been born and that the Church realized that things had better be written down for future posterity since Christ had not come back and might not for some time.

I had expected better of you.
