The Book of Revelation:
"The author of the book calls himself John, who because of his Christian faith has been exiled to the rocky island of Patmos, a Roman penal colony. Although he never claims to be John the apostle, he was so identified by several of the early church Fathers, including Justin, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Terullian, Cyprian, and Hippolytus.
This identification, however, was denied by other Fathers, including Denis of Alexandria, Eusebius of Caesarea, Cyril of Jerusalem, Gregory Nazianzen, and John Chrysostom. Indeed, vocabulary, grammar, and style
make it doubtful that the book could have been put into its present form by the same persons responsible for the fourth gospel.
(The New American Bible, ISBN: 978-0-529-06484-4, Page 1373)"
"Four times the author identifies himself as John (1:1,4,9; 22:8).....In the third century, however, an African bishop named Dionysius compared the language, style and thought of the Apocalypse (Revelation) with that of the other writings of John and decided that
the book could not been written by the apostle of John. He suggested that the author was a certain
John the Presbyter, whose name appears elsewhere in ancient writings. Although many today follow Dionysius in his view of authorship, the external evidence seems overwhelmingly supportive of the traditional view.
(From the NIV Bible Commentary [1], page 1922)"
Again, we don't know who wrote the Book of Revelation.
It is certainly highly doubtful that it was written by Apostle John.
The Theologians and Historians of the NIV Bible seem to agree with the invalidity of this book from the above quote.
So are you now going to consider the other John's words as the Words and Inspirations of GOD Almighty?
As we see, the style of writing in the book of Revelation is different from the books that are believed to be from John which are the Gospel of John, 1 John, 2 John and 3 John.
The book of Revelation's style seems to be closer to John the Presbyter's writings.
This man is known in ancient writings.
There are also many Christian theologians today that hold the same view about the falsety of the book of Revelation.
Isn't this sufficient enough to prove that the book is doubtful?
Notice that in the sections of "Gospel of John" and "Gospels of 1, 2 & 3 John" above, the author did not identify himself and it was ASSUMED without actual proofs that it was Saint John who wrote them. Notice how they said that if he were to identify himself, then it would be hard for them to explain it.
Now, notice the author in the Book of Revelation does identify himself as John, but he has a complete different language and style of writing from the other books, which created much uncertainty about its validity in the Church.
My questions here are:
Who wrote the Books?
And is or is not Saint John supposed to identify himself in his books?
And where are his books that have his name on them?
Again, keep in mind that the NT was not even documented on paper until 150 to 300 years after
Jesus (depending on what Christian you talk to).
So the dating is way too long for us to be assuming books to belong to certain people.
Let alone considering their nonsense (contents) as the True Living Words of GOD Almighty.
