There was a committee that determined what books were in the Bible. Revelation was a problem because it seemed important it had been submitted. But.......no one could agree on what it said or meant. It got grandfathered in

So your point about Revelation is....? What? That it is a vestigial book not to be considered as important in the same light that some Christian sects use when they don’t consider the Apocrypha as gospel?

The other view one must consider is that while the ‘committees” argued over Revelation’s “inclusion” into the biblical canon, in the rhetorical heat and in the midst of the sometimes personal invectives hurled at one another...somehow or other Revelation was found to be included in the final Canon...and in a much more firm doctrinal position than the apocryphal books ever were!

The Holy Spirit might have had something to do with that! God is not silent and wants men to find him! Would your dare ask God the question...”Is Revelation a true book of your Gospel?” Don’t insinuate to others that Revelation is not...pray to God and ask him your self!
