FWIW (it doesn't help answer your question) but if Revelation 2 is a polemic against Paul:Wondered your opinion of an earlier dating of Revelation, based on the 7 Kings 17:10-11 corresponding to roman emperors. That'd put it as written in 68/69 under Galba and Otho. As opposed to traditional dating 95 ce Domitian.
is that against a Paul-in-Acts or against the teachings said to be by Paul in the Epistles (Faulines)?I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: (Revelation of John 2:2 [KJV])
If the former, then it could be written anytime after Acts was written, which I assume is early (pre-62 death of James).
If the latter then it would have to be after the Faulines were written, presumably after Marcion "found" them (138-144 AD).
In then end I concluded the former:
which doesn't help you much.So the Ebionaens had lots to judge the Paul-in-Acts on long before the Faulines by MarcionOrLater appear
