Don’t the Jehovah’s Witnesses have a similar file? I believe there was also an issue in Roman Catholicism of the seal of confession (Apparently priests would confess their child abuse before anyone found out about it, and people would be too scared to be seen as breaking that seal later on when evidence did surface.)

Is this not available through the FOI?
Although I would be curious. It’ll show if the whole “immigrants are…” stereotype thing is true or not. Most child abusers I know of are white.

Technically not legally a paedo as she was just about legal age. But still participated in a sex trafficking ring.

Andrew could have probably easily said something like “I didn’t know she was being coerced”. Virginia was of legal age when it occurred.

A lot of Nazis claimed to be Christians.
Matthew 7:15-20 ESV
[15] “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. [16] You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? [17] So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. [18] A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. [19] Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. [20] Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
Matthew 7:21-23 ESV
[21] “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [22] On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ [23] And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Romans 11:13-18 ESV
[13] Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry [14] in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. [15] For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? [16] If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches. [17] But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, [18] do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.

there’s essentially zero writing about a Jesus of Nazareth aside from books written a minimum of 70 years after he supposedly lived.
That’s quite early for historical documents of that time. And you’re wrong. St Paul’s letter to the Galatians was written at the latest, 57 AD. Considering Jesus died and ascended around 33 AD, that’s at most 24 years after. So essentially, it’s like if someone who survived 9/11 were to come out now and write about it.
multiple sources
If you choose to treat a single book as proof of truth, why the bible?
The Bible isn’t a single book. It’s a compilation of separate writings. Bibles being a single book is comparatively a modern thing.
Why not the Torah
The Torah is part of the Bible.
or Quran? There’s certainly better evidence that Muhammed is at least a historical figure, although even that is debated.
Mohammed is a historical figure. Jesus is also a historical figure. These aren’t debated by anyone with any credibility. To say the existence of Jesus or Mohammed is debated is like saying climate change is debated.
I do not believe the Qur’an because it comes off to me as one guy with bad character writing a book for military power and more wives. It also severely contradicts the Bible.
You say that you’re a Christian; the vast majority of Christian sects condemn homosexuality and marriage equality. Christians are called to evangelize (Matt. 5:14-16), and likewise the bible says in multiple places that homosexuality is sinful
Yes, the Bible does say that homosexuality is sinful. Everyone is sinful. Evangelisation isn’t about stopping people from being gay, and that’s it. It’s about bringing them to Christ first. Then homosexuality is a matter of the Church.
1 Corinthians 5:12-13
For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”
Oh really? You’re not aware of laws being passed that prevent access to and criminalize reproductive care, or laws that ban gender affirming care? Really?
I was under the impression the gender stuff is moreso coming from scientists concerned about children taking harmful medicine. If you’re referring to abortions, that’s not about what women do with their own bodies. It’s about an invasive external procedure to destroy someone else’s body that’s growing inside of them.

Not to mention their is hundreds of different versions of the book and there is a lot of disagreement which is the “correct” one.
Except there isn’t really. That textual variants argument is mainly over spelling mistakes and random skipped words by scribes. Since there are hundreds of different manuscripts as they said, you can clearly track errors The most significant doctrine that’s impacted by it is the question over John 8:1-11.

Then that’s kind of the whole “where did God come from” argument
