"Without any errors"? How the hell do you determine that?

I'll tell you how: it's by ignoring all the god stuff. That's the only way, because, see, you have no way at all to confirm the god claims of that particular gospel, and everything that we know about history and reality in general seems to contradict those particular claims. So you either have a book without errors that contains no claims about god, which I'm sure is not what you want here, or you have a book that makes claims about god, in which the "without errors" label cannot be applied.

Either way, you cannot rationally make anything special of that gospel.
