and everything you posted to deny what I said is also flawed individual interpretations..... They got some things right, IMHO, but in other things they were so far out in left field that they wandered out of the ballpark.

And yet these are not individual interpretations -- this is what the community of Christians has believed since the apostles. Do you honestly believe that your individual interpretation is better than that of the 1st century Christians who lived and knew the apostles? Or the generation after that?

You're wrong that they are not individual interpretations. They are individuals writing and including stories and myths that were going on amongst the people. Not once do they prove that those stories and teachings came from the Apostles. They do not substantiate their sources and when they do, they simply repeat what earlier writers have said - which leads to errors.
