    Consider this:

    Ye shall know them by their fruits

    A well known scripture. Compare that to any other reference to fruit and fruit bearers and it is clear that Jesus wants his followers to look for the fruits, and not consider the obscurity where it was brought forth from. Hence.. fruits not roots.
    It is a fallacy to judge a prophecy or a religious mission on the obscurity of the person/persons bringing it forth. And that is why when considering the life and acts of near all the church fathers, you'd find something to point to and COULD declare their message void, IF we went down that path.

    If you want me to engage in a "the Bible can't be true because..." I would be not following the fruits vs. roots principle I just put forth.
    BUT since I am not adhering to Christian teaching... I am not obliged to follow its "rules".

    I would have asked which version of the Bible you considered most correct or true to the ... um original, and start from there.
