I am aware of people for which even the Gnostic gospels have rocked their faith, let alone the evidence of the development of what became Christianity outside this...
You can either shield yourself from all this or take it on in light of practice.
For me, truth isn't just what I think it is... truth is what remains after all challenges, it is what exists when everything else is dropped.
If scripture is the basis of your belief, you have to protect it constantly.
Yet, it is intended to reveal truth... and there is nothing that challenges truth... everything necessary supports it, else it isn't true.
