This kind of thinking is why you get off track so easily. I have been studying Revelation since 1995. In the process, I have gone through the Bible OT and NT.
The main text of Revelation, that is not an addition by someone else, only refers to OT symbology and the language used by the prophets...
The letters by supposed apostles in the NT are not from the original apostles according to almost all biblical scholars nowadays. Paul didn't even write the letters in the NT. Scholars say he probably wrote Galatians and his scribe wrote the rest.
There is no historical proof of how John got to...

Debunking the Antichrist Myth Part 1
A Short Exposition on Revelation Chapter 13
By Craig Bennett
Special Note: To follow the different beasts in this chapter I have numbered them in parenthesis. There are four of them. Also, you will notice that I do not interpret the numerology literally...
You have a valid complaint. What I am trying to point out is that the supposed us, is the actual Antichrist as pointed out in chapter 13 of Revelation. Christians have been deceived and have been forced into a false doctrine.
Anyone home in there? I am debunking the myth about the Antichrist that you seem to want to support. Instead of jumping to conclusions why don't you actually read it? Then you can determine what I am actually saying instead of assuming.
While my study of Revelation has produced a statement in chapter 13 validating the resurrection, you can't dismiss previous referrences to resurrection in other ancient religions. Zorastrianism even broached the subject. As with the accounts of virgin births like Alexander the Great, it make one...
As your dissociative behavior has demonstrated quite well. Get on topic or go away. Your ad hominem entrapment has not worked and I know that no one is buying your pathetic display.
Some amazing Christology at work here. You sure can tell a good bedtime story. So Jesus went around from the beginning of time whispering in the ears of the forefathers and prophets. Too bad they didn't listen to Him.
Scholars have manuscripts by scribes where they write their ideas in the margins. They say that the original only went to chapter 16. This is all well and good but totally irrelevant. What does this have to do with Revelation????
Let's all thank Ba'al.
We have an extant book that has survived in the Bible. It is a book of controversy as a lot of nonsense has been written about it over the centuries. Therefore, the discussion is about what it is saying, not whether it is a storybook. How can you determine if it is...
Sorry, but this is very inaccurate. The book of Revelation first appeared in 95 CE (or 96 CE if you wish) but could have been written much earlier, as early as 75 CE.
It can't be proven historically that the apostle John wrote it, but it is very likely due to its theme. However, because the...
