Revelation was the last book to be accepted into the Christian biblical canon, and even at the present day some Nestorian churches reject it. It was tainted because the heretical sect of the Montanists relied on it and doubts were raised over its Jewishness and authorship, and it was not until 419 that it was included in the canon.

You guys are too funny...

Revelation was the last book to be accepted into the Catholic biblical canon

If you had known what you were talking about that is what you would have written...The Christian scriptures were in circulation for 3 Centuries, 300 years before your religion wrote it's own version...

Do you accept the primacy of the Nicene Creed?. Shouldn’t the Nag Hammadi papers be included in the Bible? If not, why not? At least, shouldn’t the Gospel of Thomas be included? Why do many Bibles include the Apocrypha?

Christian canon -- remember that canon means a collection of books - the Bible is a collection of books. the first instance of canon was by Marcion in 140 AD (the version Iscool adheres to, I believe, right?)

Canon was closed in 367 - and considering that John and the book of the Apocalypse was writen in the last 90s AD, it would make it less than 300 years

If, as you, Iscool state wrote it's own version... that means that the Bible in your hands, if it is a KJV etc. is not the "true version" in your opinion. unless you have a marcion bible
