When the cannon of scripture was closed in Revelations, The existing New Testament was included. You can either believe it, or reject it, but you can Not filter it! It is all or nothing, not "I will have four of these, and two of those"....

The "cannon" of what you hold as "scripture" was decided several centuries later by men. The western protestant Bible has the least amount of books in it of all the Bibles on the earth. The Catholic Bible has 8 or 10 books more in it than the protestant Bible and the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible, the oldest Bible on Earth has 81 books in it versus the 66 in the Protestant Bible. there are books in that Ethiopian Orthodox Bible that I would consider scripture that you would not because they were originally in what we call the Old Testament but men decided to remove them.

it's really plain and simple, what the Messiah and all the apostles had that they considered to be scripture was what we call the Old Testament which would include some of the books that are now in the Apocrypha, THAT is the biblically endorsed definition of scripture and in all of what is deemed scripture there is no where that God himself said any part of the law would come to an end until heaven and Earth themselves come to an end. You can take paul's writings and twist them to have him contradicting the Messiah, but then you would be falling into the trap that Peter warned us about.
