First of all, where else do you suggest the book of Revelation go? (at the beginning?)
And, tell me, which Bible fails to place Jude second from the last?
And so what if Jude & Revelation are "last" in ANY Bible? (Are you implying then that the entire Christian church deems them as "bottom rung"?) Really? A ridiculous argument.
Do you see how half of your argument here is utterly decimated?
So, this argument of yours here says absolutely ZERO about Jude & Revelation.
As for Hebrews, I already quoted Luther in my last post what his thoughts were on Hebrews. Anyway, so he transposed Peter's & John's epistles with Hebrews & James. So what?
Luther loved parts of the Bible, and had an incredible contempt for other parts of the Bible. “James is an Epistle of straw”.
This was Luther's conclusion in 1522, but was dropped thereafter in many republishing of his work thru the last 23 years of his life.
Contempt? If you said a book had "many good sayings in them," would you describe that as contemptuous? (Well that was a counterbalanced Luther summary of the book of James)
You see, this is the problem where you attempt to isolate a single quote Luther made before age 40 and attempt to construct an entire animus and worldview upon it!
It’s not a single quote, but it’s based on his work of translating and compiling his version of the Bible.
Luther on Revelation: “For myself, I think it approximates the Fourth Book of Esdras; 8 I can in no way detect that the Holy Spirit produced it.”
If we looked at the entire life of Martin Luther, we would see a mixed bag... a man of great kindness and who brought many needed reformations to the church but also someone who would often write goofy things like “The Estate of Marriage”.
But their’s plenty of writings that show that ML was not someone who had great reverence for the Scripture, ALL the scripture, as it is written.
