John 14:6 - Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." If 1000 years from now, no one believed in the resurrection, there would be no Christians.

Christians have been retconning scripture from day one.  Your declaration means nothing in the face of the history of continuous reconstruction of your sources.  But I see you yet again appealing to the No True Christians fallacy.  They might not be Christians in your eyes, but that just underscores the subjectivity of your opinion.  The 'truth' of such biblical passages is whatever self-proclaimed Christians say it is, and that is constantly changing.

“I have become convinced that we must put an end to atonement theology or there will be no future for the Christian faith. ”
― John Shelby Spong

I hear this line of thinking often repeated here. I just don't see how the interpretation of NT scripture has changed since the beginning. Do you have examples of where the Apostolic Fathers' writings on doctrine differed from Nicea, to Augustine, to Luther, to Calvin, to Wesley to today?
