The completed canon of scripture prior to the destruction of
Jerusalem - 69-70 A.D. - assures us that the traditional claims, "dating the writings of the Apostle John between 85-100 A.D," are false. Strange as it may seem, it is the rightness of the
approximate reality of the so-called "fixed" dates which enables us to be sure in our findings. Namely, that a give-or-take of two years
would reconcile any differences over these last 2,000 years - after all, whatever differences may or may not be are still a historical tradition. 
Many, if not all, believers in Christ are aware that as we progress
through the Bible, so God reveals more of His plan and purpose for mankind. We may turn to Genesis for teaching on creation, but we are not likely to offer God burnt offerings like Abel, Noah and others did.
