well, couple things... revalations was not the last book in the bible to be written, it just happens to be last in the bible. yes, the books of the new testament were not written until some 60-80 years after the events actually happened. The stories were passed down the generations by word of mouth, so some stuff had to have been outta proportion and exaggerated.

No no I'm sure there are enough proofs that Mathew and John wrote their own books... they were THERE with Jesus all the time.

And you STILL haven't explained the prophecies.

Uhm.. Matthew and John were not with Jesus. Matthew and John wrote the Bible well after Jesus's death. They were born after Jesus died (they were not one of the 12 disciples if thats what you think). It is obvious that people exaggerated stories. People back then were stupid.

No offense Canyarion, but I was taught this in school, and yes I go to a Catholic school, and last Religous class I had one of the best and smartest teachers I've ever known. I'd take his word over yours any day.
