If you look at the history and direction of the church after the bible was compiled the 'doctrines they wanted to push' do not lend themselves to what was written in the bible. Which is why for nearly 1000 years the only copies being made were translated into a dead language and kept from the general public.
I think one could argue that the ones that disagreed with the bible came much later.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
