I also exhibit the gift of prophecy

Whatever...

Other Christian organizations have recognized this gift in me and I have diligently studied Scripture in order to prepare myself to give that ready answer that Peter speaks of

Well, true pophets and apostles did not have to study anything.

The Bible was around in those days. The Old Testament Scriptures were readily available and the New Testament Scriptures were widely circulating

The Old Testament was in the synagogues. Not everyone can read in a synagogue. The New Testament was not completed for about 60 years after Christ died on the Cross. The individual books were in individual scrolls, precious manuscripts, safeguarded by the Church.

There were some 200 different documents pretending to be "Gospels" and "Epistles," of which the Church selected only 23, confident that they were genuine. It took the Church 300 years to do that. This is the same Church whose hierarchy you accused of error, yet you have no problem believeing the Christain canon they put together.

Says who?

Daniel 9:2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.

Hebrews 4:12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
