It comes back to Exodus, "I am, I am".

If John really did write Revelation as well he was probably dosed, and his Gospel certainly seems to show some evidence of that.

Yeah I know, I was trying to put something into words when they can't really do justice to it, but you know what I mean.

And don't dis John, I like my end-time prophecies. :whip:

I shall "dis" John for as long as he dissagrees with Mathew, Mark, and Luke, :beam:. Really though, I'm dissing Jerome and Augustine the Bishops that decided Revelations should be in the Bible.

Oh, those darn Bishops!

Yes, I am gently teasing.

Anyway, more seriously.

I picked up Alastair McGrath's book on Evangelicalism today. He's very erudite and tallented (Read Dawkins' God, or the Dawkins Delusion), but he glossed over this issue somewhat. Scripture is inspired by God, but authored by God AND Man. He made the comparison between that and Christ as God-and-Man, but I was dissapointed that he didn't then draw the distinction that only Christ, as perfectly united Man-and-God is infallable.
