There is a difference between 'revealed' faith that patriarchs and prophets wrote about, and Christ's ministry on earth witnessed by the Apostles who then wrote (decades later) what they actually saw or heard either in person or from those who were there. There is a difference between what we see 'inside' and what we perceive outside.
But, regardless, God did not give us the Scriptures. He never commanded His disciples to write down what He said. In the case of the Torah, the Jews believe,m and in the case of the Koran, the Muslims believe that God dictated the books word-by-word to Moses and Mohammad. Sure...
Suppsoedly guided by the Holy Spirit, the humans wrote, and it was the hierarchy of the Church recognized, selected, safeguarded, sorted out and canonized the Scriptures. I know this must be difficult for you to swallow, but then the alternative is to throw out the Bible along with the Church.

You’re correct I do not swallow that.. The Rabbis vouched safe the old testament in various forms.. The New testement codices were saved from various places.. and times.. And Roman Catholic and Eastern Ortho organizations were started hundreds of years after christs so-called “death”... A contant stream of apostles did not happen.. Its a myth promulgated by various clergy.. that some people swallow some do not..
