The history of the Methodist Church is intersting. Wow - you guys were real holy rollers back in your hay day. But fortunate for you no one is crapping all over your Church and your personal heart-felt beliefs today, well, not that much. Lucky!
Re. Dead Sea Scrolls: “Another nonbiblical document on display through September is “The Alma Scroll,” a lease agreement that dates to after the destruction of the Qumran settlement by Roman soldiers. It describes the transaction of land previously owned by the government of the leader of the second Jewish revolution against the Romans, and it contains the oldest known mention of the name “Alma” outside of the Book of Mormon, where it plays a significant role.”

Visit one of the Methodist threads one day. You’ll get quite a shock. Many of those being critical are Methodists. That’s why the naysayers don’t stick around. Most of them are arguing just to argue. Since we agree with them, they go away.
