And, remember that

From the time of Nero (d. A.D. 68), the Christian faith was treated by the civil authorities as an unlawful religion, and Christians were slandered by pagan propagandists as atheists who took part in cannibal feasts and indulged in sexual promiscuity

Remember, just as for you to doubt scripture, it was also hard for the Roman pagans to believe Jesus Christ's words directly or through Paul, hence Justin Martyr who wrote in his First Apology (A.D. 151) to the pagan Emperor "The food which has been made into the Eucharist by the Eucharistic prayer set down by him, and by the change of which our blood and flesh is nurtured, is both the flesh and the blood of that incarnated Jesus."

First of all, I’ll thank you for not trying to read my mind; I do not doubt scripture; can you not resist making this personal? After so many warnings? Sheesh.

I DO however not only doubt, but in many cases deny the Roman Catholic interpretation (’mangling’) of scripture.

The Book of Martyr is canonized where?
