Revelation is bullshit and should not be part of the Bible. It has literally nothing to do with what Jesus said, you might as well take schizo ramblings from here and put them in scripture. Is there anyone historically significant who agrees with me?

It's not just Revelation

Schizo ramblings in the Bible? Perish the thought.

>Former Augustinian friar and German reformer Martin Luther called Revelation "neither apostolic nor prophetic" in the 1522 preface to his translation of the New Testament (he revised his position with a much more favorable assessment in 1530)
Why did he pussy out? He got it right.

John and Revelation is all you need. The rest can be discarded.

Luther but he was wrong like he always was about everything.
You don't know better than John the Apostle. Neither did that German heresiarch with mental problems.

Agreed. Idk how anyone can read it and take it seriously unless you're somehow able to suspend all disbelief skepticism rationality and freely yield to impossible schizo nonsense

Which is what Protestants and fundies do all the time. The Protestant reformation has been a disaster for the human race

I don't really get why people care about the whole end of the world thing. Everyone's world ends eventually, it happens every day, often when they least expect it [like a thief in the night]. I don't think God has any need to institute a literal apocalypse for that purpose.

Bible reflects stages of life

old testament ist young, dogmatic, sex-obsessed idealist

gospels are middle aged cuck mode

revelation is homeless schizo on street

and paulus letters represent forum jannies/mods

If your issue with revelations is that it's schizo ramblings, you might as well cut out the old testament and the new testament as well -- welp, guess you might as well just toss the whole book into the garbage.

The Roman catholic church was and still is wrong about countless things, yes.

In that case, Ezekiel is an accomplished but newly-developed schizophrenic that everyone is worried about
