Paul, just a quick note. Yes, you may get as lengthy as you like about how we or you came to accept your canon as you did. It may take some time though for me to read the thread directly above this one (the "Western 5 books of the Peshitta"). My, I hope it is not that long. But I have lived all my life with the 27 NT book canon. The idea is now to me that this NT canon of ours has not been accepted universally. The book of Revelation, for example, is so full of themes loaded form Daniel and Isaiah and even Ezekiel. How can anyone just push this aside or "brush it off." Plus Revelation is the only place in the entire New Testament that gives us somewhat of an introductory view of what heaven will be like. And what about the solemn warning at the end of this great piece of literature. Surely you must be aware of this, Paul. Does this not concern you to some degree?? It has to.
