And by the way, Spacetime, I have gone back to your OP, several of your other posts as well as my post #24 and your post #28.
Based on that and your most recent posts, I don't think I can offer anything else to you at this time.
However, I'm sure that you will enjoy chatting with your new found friends here in the forum (2 Tim 4:3).
By the way, I did go back to double-check the dating of James. At least one source that I found tonight confirmed what I had noted in my studies a few years ago: the idea that James was written prior to the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15) which was held in AD 49. This would make a date of AD 45-48 possible.
However, a second source pushed the date back as late as AD 60, and that would be make 1 Thessalonians the earliest canonical book of the NT.
FWIW.
