[QUOTE]Originally posted by bryce: [QB] You know, I've read a few reasons people don't believe in Revelation and "John was high" is a new one. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] -LOL- I can't believe I let this go for a day and nothing was really said. Any other topic and someone would have given me a verse to look up. The only people who believe what you have read First would be those professors of Christian colleges who also believe that Mary taught the parables to Jesus and things of that nature. (They also probably helped put that terrible TV movie together.) These "scholars" try to make the Bible say the easiest thing to swallow and are being used by Satan to fool people like yourself. There are a lot of people out there claiming to be Bible scholars, but for the most part only people who work for seminaries and undergrad schools in the CCCU are really professionals. Would you trust a Ford salesman to give you his true opinion on a Chevy? The first rule of Bible translation is to take it literally unless you have scientific and/or archeological evidence to prove otherwise. Plus, study of the text in their orginal languages can tell us whether the book is written in poetry, stort story form, fiction, non-fiction, ect. Revelation was written in a literal way of writing (I'm not a literature person) unlike the early parts of Genesis which suggest a fable, folklore format. We do know John was to be executed, THE EXECUTION FAILED, and then was sent to Patmos. Revelation was written on that island. He then later died in Ephesius. He was the only disciple not to be martyred, just as Jesus said. [/QB][/QUOTE]
