I have no idea what that has to do with what I posted.

That makes the point. You asked two questions and addressed them to "all." Perhaps if you say the scripture orally and hear it audibly you might discern what was apparently missed by reading it.

That makes the point.

Not to me it didn't and since I'm the intended recipient I'm thinking it should have been a little clearer. I did focus on "Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard" as the probable message you were trying to convey. But the timeline suggests there were probable eyewitnesses still alive at the time of this message. That would command more gravitas than some tradition that has centuries to be molded and massaged to someones liking.
