You don't think that in the 2000 years since Christ that there has been various interpretations and spin of Christianity by Christian sects? Most recently, David Koresh's bunch, early colonial times: the Salem Witch trials. Think about it. Various 'rules' in various present day religions have changed. For example, Homosexual clergy, fish on Friday....all the variants vary, depending on the human entities authoring the variants. None of these man made spins have anything to do with the core mystery and truths of Christianity.

The point tkathy was trying to make was that the absolute truth can't be known because biblical text has been 'editted and spun' for 2000 years. Dishonest scholarship or wronged headed interpretation by oddball sects does not alter the fundamental correctness of the scriptures.

I completely agree with this.
