No, it's the Wikipedia article about apocalyptic literature.
The article talks about how apocalyptic literature uses things like symbols and numbers that require wisdom to understand.
Like the book of Revelation talks about the number 666. It says let the one that has wisdom understand. I've read many explanations of what 666 stands for, and they all seem about equally possible.
But maybe the people back then new how to decode that number.

I would offer. No man can serve two teaching masters. Even the Son of man, Jesus refused to stand in the father's unseen place of Glory called good Master .
According to the sword of the Spirit .Hebrews chapter 1 informs us that in these last days the father has spoken through the Son working in Jesus, with him to both will and do the good pleasure . Sort of like a object lesson or parable. Two working as one to bring the peace of God it surpasses our limited understanding.
Matthew 19:16-18 King James Version (KJV) And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Sola scriptura all things written in the law and the prophets is the nemesis of Didache. . . a private revelation as a interpretation of mankind given by mystics a false sense of wonderment as source of faith, not using the word prophets.
The teaching is about The twelve apostles not of, coming from the 12 but as a idealism a continuation of those who walk by sight as if the kingdom of God did come by observation. Their hope or idealism is by looking at the things seen.
It does fulfill its requirement they received the reward self edification. a assumed kingdom that comes by observation. No faith needed that comes from hearing God alone.
The teaching of those sent with the words as thoughts of a unseen God are not attributed to the flesh of mankind. How beautiful are the feet of those sent . Not words that came as their own thoughts. "Sent ones" with no other meaning added.... defines the word "apostle".
Teachings of other men as if we needed a man to teach us. . . holding onto the word "apostle" after another manner, a law of the fathers also called apostolic succession .Those who lord it over the faith of those non venerable. A Pagan foundation . And not according to its inspired meaning with no other meaning added.
The apostles were falsely worshiped in that way (gods in the likeness of men Acts 14:11) .Thinking of men seen above that as it is written . Puffing up their flesh of their sect above that of another.
1 Corinthians 4:6-7 King James Version (KJV) And these things, brethren, I have in a figure (parable) transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
Paul answered that violation of adding meaning to a word ( Deuteronomy 4:2) as in this case it did destroy the usage where the word was used making it without effect .
Adding new meaning is like the crime of Plagiarism, a form of blasphemy, and a violation of the first commandment. Deuteronomy 4:2 protecting the integrity. The other not to add or subtract the warning is in Revelation 22, the whole as the last direct revelation written. . . .sealed with 7 seals till the end of time. Both working as one security guard.
This idea venerating (worshipping) the flesh of the fathers gives the idea of more than just sent ones.(apostle)
Apostle, a term used when a person would send a another with a list from the sender author .
The feet get no glory as if God was served by the flesh and not by the new spirit. . zealous to do the will of one not seen .
Paul asked .What do we have that we have not freely received with no cost on our behalf and if you did receive why would you seek to be worshiped or venerated as if a person did not? God will not share his glory with the corrupted clay he is forming Christ in.
Catholisicim has destroyed the meaning of the word "apostle" destroying its intended usage. wherever the word is found.

Yes he did. 66 books. (sola scriptura)
Nothing new under the Sun just a persons over view. . no requirements as to how we can hear God. No mention of a queen of heaven the heart of Catholicism .
Its easy to see that is a private interpretation of man as a personal commentary an overview of what he believes.
Using personal pronouns to give the illusion God is bringing private revelation (vanity) making the warning not to add or substract from all things written in the law and the prophets (sola scriptura).
It would seem the goal. . . create a doubt in a possibility of new revelation that could be added to a book sealed with 7 seals until the last day a ray of false hope .
We are not to take the name as the authority of God in vain. . . attributing the private revelations of men because some Queen mother will be happy. It has been revealed for what it is, another gospel, another kind of mediator other than as it is written .
The foundation of necromancy those living seeking after workers with familiar spirits called patron saints .A alternative source of faith coming from that not seen fleshly illusion. . . .making the one manner without effect . Pray or enquire this manner "our Father in heaven" not our dead relatives that have returned to dust.. . . or some father on earth (3500 and rising na many waiting the approval of the Pope..the Catholic daysaman .
Sola scriptura is the reforming authority in any generation and denomination . Worked in the first century and again in the fifteenth. It could work tomorrow restoring the true government.
There is no doubt that the Roman Catholic church teaches a different gospel and a different gospel is no gospel but it is a lie. It is not a matter of interpretation or a matter of lack of a bible. It is an intentional lie and many souls are lost because they have been deceived by it.

Well, before one can say whether the Catholic Church teaches a different gospel than what is contained in the scriptures, one first has to properly interpret the whole of the scriptures to know what they say about the gospel.
So again, are the scriptures properly interpreted by the individual Reading alone? Or by the body of Christ working together?

The bible is clear on the gospel. The death burial and resurrection of Christ is the gospel. We receive the finished work of Christ by grace not by works. Rome teaches grace received by sacraments and works of contrition.
The gospel is intensely personal and not exercised by corporate exercise. Jesus deals with and receives every soul on a personal basis.

1 Corinthians 15: 1. Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand, 2. by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. 3. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
Yes, the basics of the Gospel.
And the Bible also says other things
1 Timothy 2: 14. Adam wasn't deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience; 15. but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.
So that's a different approach to salvation.
1 Corinthians 7: 13. The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband. 14. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
It looks like there is some kind of bleed over between spouses and children. how sanctification is related to salvation in the above verses is a matter of interpretation of course.
James 5: 14. Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, 15. and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
That's interesting to me, calling for the elders, being anointed with oil, and that process results in the forgiveness of sins.
Also that word heal above? In the Greek it's the same word as save.
So the prayer of faith will save the sick.
So yes, the basics of the Gospel I think the Catholics agree with. But looking through the rest of the scriptures, there are issues of interpretation.

Also in the longer ending of Mark, I believe Jesus says that the one who believes and is baptized shall be saved.
But other places seem to be focused just on believing, not believing plus being baptized equaling salvation.
But then we would want to know if the longer ending of Mark was scripture or not.

You are wrong. Roman Catholics do not believe the same gospel. They teach a gospel which is not the gospel a gospel of works. Grace is not received through sacraments but by faith in the word of God regarding Christ.
Only God can forgive sin. We can pray and anoint with oil but only God who ministers in the heart can forgive sin. Adjust your reading accordingly.
Which baptism is Mark 16 speaking to? Baptism of water or baptism of Holy Spirit?
Is sanctification the same as salvation? Nope only those who become saved can progress toward sanctification. Can the walk of a believer testify of Christ before their family and thereby draw them to Christ who will save them?

I think the gospel is a particular thing
1 Corinthians 15: 1. Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand, 2. by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. 3. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Good news of course is just another way of saying the gospel in English.
Different Christian groups then have other teachings for example about speaking in tongues or whether it's good for a Christian fellowship group to own a building. I don't think there's anything in the scriptures about fellowshipping in a building. Some people say there just should be house churches.
