I consider the reality and the historicity…the humanity…of those who wrote the original Christian documents, those who were eyewitnesses and closest to Jesus. Wavering and impulsive and cowardly Peter who followed, then unfollowed, then followed again after the resurrection, even preaching in the streets of Jerusalem. Can one imagine their own brother convincing them that he was the son of God…? James was convinced of that, and that itself is convincing. Paul was a persecutor of Christians and a Jewish wreckin’ machine of their faith, but he became a follower of Jesus himself. And John saw inhumanity and cruelty over his long life that is unimaginable to many of us, but was still convinced that God is love.
Different people who wrote separate and independent accounts of what they saw and experienced. They weren’t writing the Bible, they were simply documenting the events that were happening in each of their lives.
What do you mean by "original" Christian Documents? The 4 canonical gospels are all amanous. We don't know who wrote them, and have no good reason to believe they were written by eye witnesses. The earliest canonical books in the NT were written by Paul, who again, was not any eye witness.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
