| Oct 22, 2017 at 21:30 | comment | added | Lucian | contradicting orthodox doctrine and presenting a faulty soteriology - If that were true, it would never have made its way into the Ethiopian canon. | |

| Dec 24, 2014 at 9:46 | comment | added | Bloch | I don't find the case that early Christians knew that Padmos John is the same person as Apostle John to be complete: Why couldn't they be familiar with another possibility that we have since lost (absence of evidence is not evidence of absence)? Why were the Revelations epistles written in Greek when I understand the other writings of Apostle John were authored in Aramaic? But the possibilities are at least enumerated and otherwise I find this answer to give an excellent account of what we can make of how the early Christians looked at the facts. So, excellent answer, accepted. | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 14:22 | comment | added | Frank Luke | This was prior research. "Formation of the Biblical Canon" required a term paper in two parts: 1) a book rejected by the majority of Christianity and 2) a book debated and then accepted into the canon. 1 Enoch was part 1. Revelation was part 2. | |

| Dec 7, 2014 at 1:03 | comment | added | Frank Luke | @Bloch, I always wait to accept answers, also. And thank you. | |
| Dec 6, 2014 at 19:33 | comment | added | Bloch | This kind of comparative answer paints a very persuasive picture. Thank you. I am minded to accept it, but I shall wait a little. | |
