Not surprised that you dodge my question by means of asking me one.
It is important to me that the early "church fathers" who believed John of the twelve wrote Revelation were CLOSER by over a thousand plus years to the events, are deemed significant in their view. It is somewhat important to me that we do not flippantly dismiss this early general opinion in favor of some "Johnny come lately" dude eager to write a dissertation for a higher degree, argue that a much latter viewpoint is more reliable.
If you want me to consider more the case that the disciple John as an aged man did not [edited] pen the Revelation, please find me some voices in the first 300 years of the inception of the Christian church arguing such. I'll start my skepticism, if any, there.
Is it important to you to claim that it was the same writer?
