I think it may be the fact that there are so many MAJOR errors with the History, Theology, Science, and the fact the portions of it are missing... Even whole chapter have been eaten by dogs.... |

not to convert anyone to anything or to say that christianity is not christianity, but check church history about gospels (which may have been more directly influenced by Jesus than others) being voted out of being included in the bible and then burned....
talk about chapters missing...
