It makes no difference if the New Testament has remained unchanged. It reads exactly like you'd expect for a group of Hellenistic Jews putting their shameless superstitions in writing. Read Cicero's On Divination or Lucretius' On The Nature of Things, each dated a century prior to the earliest Pauline epistles, and then tell me that the early Christians weren't precisely the religious nuts their Roman precursors had eloquently refuted.
He who loves God cannot endeavour that God should love him in return - Baruch Spinoza
