The last chapter of the Bible was not written on the island of Patmos. It is a rewriting of Daniel's Armageddon. The Apostle John had died. Why would he be banished to an island? His followers would have rescued him. He was mailing them his Apocalypse? The Apocalypse is part of the Gnostic Gospels. The Gnostic Gospels were rejected by the Council of Nicea. The Council of Nicea decided which Gospels were genuine and authentic. The Council of Trent declared the testaments of Alexandria used by Greek speaking "Septuagent" were valid. This included the Greek Septugent Apocalypse. The author of the Apocalypse was debated by the Bishops. Pope Damascus ruled it to be Saint John the Apostle, "Critical witness for the sacred text depend upon the Divine witness of an infallible Church." The followers of Saint Jerome denied the Papal Canon. They used the Latin Bible from the first century Palestine. This Latin Bible omitted the Septugent; Tobias, Judith, Wisdom Ecclesiasticus, Baruch and two Books of Machabees, Esther And the Apocalypse. In this the fifth century of the Holy Roman Catholic Church the term aprocryphal was coined. The Book of Enoch, the Assumption of Moses and the Acts of Saint Peter and Saint Paul were ruled aprocryphal which means false. Do you believe in the infallibility of the Bible? =+= |
