You are ONLY giving your opinion. That's the whole problem with your posts...they are just the opinions of an ignorant man.
Wouldn't it make better sense to "give" what you know from reading good books by reputable authors - or better yet, the NT and the Early Church Fathers themselves?
In what way is the NT "better" than good books from reputable sources? That's hilarious!
Well, if you read the NT yourself, you are getting the story from the most direct sources. If you read the Church Fathers, you are getting the thoughts of the first believers.
If you read other books about the NT or the early Church, you are getting an opinion about them rather than forming your own opinion.
