Challenging Ancient writings is not wrong, or as you say, wicked. In fact, it's just the opposite. IMO, God expects us to seek the truth, not some idea written by people we know nothing about during a time we know not of.

Do you realize that the New Testament wasn't written as you might suppose? For example, the 4 Gospels were not even written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, and possibly after they were already dead (60-100 years A.D.).

Do you also understand that the New Testament is written in the common language of Rome, known as Greek? Have you ever studied the religious History of Rome and the idolatry they embrace in their Culture?

Most don't know this, either; the Book of Revelation was not added to the original Canon until the last decade of the 4th Century.

Christianity, as we know it, was delivered throughout Europe, and the then known World, via the Roman Catholic Church and during Romes push to dominate the Earth. Why do you think people fled England to the Americas (one reason)? The State Religion was, Catholic, and their Bible was the King James. They rebelled against Religion to pursue a different God than they were forced to accept.

Speaking of delusion, Jesus pointed out that the Religious were the blind hypocrites we were to look out for, not the doubting Thomas who wanted to know the facts.

I find it ironic that you quote scripture after stating you question it's authentic work.
