-Removed-Thank you for the correction. There's so much misinformation going around these days, as I'm sure you are well aware.
P.S. -- I kind of like "faeces" -- it's more in-your-face.
When decades younger I used to transcribe written and sometimes taped manuscripts. Not sure of the word, but it was one that used to have a combined vowel such as ae or oe, and my superior told me to just spell it the modern way.

@kevin-eleven saidDear KE, I do appreciate the personal nature of your reply to my post to divegeester, and I would love to reciprocate in kind, but I'm at a loss trying to understand exactly what you mean.
Dear Joseph, if you are so easily bored to death I fear you might have been grasping at straws all along.
Remember the foundation of your existence. The Ocean of Truth will sustain and support you (at least until you croak), kind of like a flotation tank but without the tank.
Not saying I'm offended. I glean from your words good intent, except it seems you speak a language I'm not entirely familiar with.
Therein lies my(a word I can't recall), so please except my deepest apology for my ineptitude at engaging with you at a level requisite for your interest and deserving of your attention.
I sense I could learn much from you, if you could tolerate my bullheadedness.
@kevin-eleven saidI looked it up when the matter first occurred several pages ago. FMF corrected me and I realized divegeester was using the British spelling.
Didn't you know that "faeces" is the plural of "feces"? I bet John Dee knew that.
There's a slight difference in definition, but I let it go as soon as I realized I was nitpicking.

To say it more clearly would mean not saying it at all.
Hoping that helps! 🙂

@kevin-eleven saidWhat do you have against the Apostle Paul and his epistles?
To return to your OP, it's interesting that Revelations (or The Apocalypse of John) was included in the canon. From my POV, it was already bad enough that Paul's and the pseudo-Pauline letters were included.

-Removed-"The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:"
In order for you to hold to your "version of Jesus" you would have to not believe what that verse is saying.
Explain that!
