Yet more biblical criticism problems at the subreddits

A briefer one than normal here, but just a few thoughts on the latest nuttery at the biblical criticism subreddits.

It is interesting that Colossians leaves out part of a Galatians parallel, but no, dood, it was not Pauline, and not written 60-64 CE. (And, that's the correct year nomenclature, too, of course.)

No, John didn't die circa 100 CE, and this guy has also apparently never heard of pseudepigrapha.

A good question here about the man of lawlessness vs the beast vs antichrist(s). Since I'm blocked there, I can't give the OP the answer he seeks, which is here. (That said, it's the same guy as in paragraph above.) Sadly, the only answer as of a month ago was from a fundagelical talking about different interpretations of millennialism. R/AcademicBiblical is going downhill on number as well as types of responses, as well as moderator actions, apparently.
