and you never answered my questions -- in your beautifully silly post 34 it forgets that Revelation was among the last books to be added to canon? And did you know that most of the Early Christian communities rejected it? Even to today the book of Revelation is not read in the Orthodox Divine Liturgy. The Addition of the Book of Revelation/Apocalypse shows how the Church under the grace of the Holy Spirit pulled together the Canon that is the Bible today. Church in scripture rejected the Shepherd of Hermas even though it was accepted as scripture by many Early Christians and put in Apocalypse even after objections by many

Syrian Christians in the 2nd century rejected it, Martin Luther initially considered it to be "neither apostolic nor prophetic" and stated that "Christ is neither taught nor known in it," and is not known of in the ancient church of the Georgians.

Cronos, bramps does not want to confront the fact that the Bible he reads is a manmade translation of a manmade edition of God-breathed texts that are compiled by a manmade list.

He has never considered the means by which the Bible he reads has reached his hands.
