No, but of course Jesus didn't write any of the Bible did he? The Apostles and others who followed recorded what Christ said as well as those like Paul whose words would go on to make up the Holy Scriptures that have been faithfully handed down and translated for centuries. I will stick with what Christians use, and have used for 2000 years in various forms, thanks.

Fads and odd off shoot movements trying to “recreate” what has been the Truth for two millennia don't do much for me.

NAU Matthew 10:16 "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst
of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.

NAU Acts 20:29 "I know that after my departure savage wolves
will come in among you, not sparing the flock;

The wolves entered the flock in the fourth century
specifically at Nicea in 325 CE.

Psalm 118:

8 It is better to take refuge in YHvH Than to trust in man.

9 It is better to take refuge in YHvH Than to trust in princes.

This of course assumes that God did not bring together the men at Nicaea to attempt and end to all the various growing heretical off shoot groups that the Church was dealing with at the time.

Seems that to change the heart of a Roman Emperor from the traditions and power base of his fathers to an adherent and champion of that puny “Chrisitain” group would take a spiritual effort. There is a reason he is a Saint in the oldest of all Christians traditions to this day.

The Arians and Gnostics among others were saying the same things then as you and other other “restoration” type groups are saying now, with the same requisite use of “scriptures” and such and the same end results.

Oh great, another restorationist group. You said breakoff of the adventists? Campbell’s legacy strikes again.
