Well, I am not sure how you can logically consider the Dead Sea Scrolls more "contemporaneous" than the New Testament, since those documents are essentially but copies of Old Testament texts, with a smattering of non-biblical texts relating to history only up to about 68 A.D. And those writings are essentially witnesses to the accuracy of the current Bible. Surely some Christian traditions reject the apochryphal writings, but others, both Protestant and Catholic, accept them. There are compelling reasons why rejection and acceptance is warranted. But nothing here can reasonably suggest anyone "doctored" anything.

Hey, reject Christ if it pleases you. I actually am not interested in you accepting Him. But it is clear to me you are very ignorant of the history and are just interested in maligning the Church through your ignorance. That is just unfair and dishonorable.
