OK, I see what you mean. However I don't think it works, for at

reasons. First, the holy books are all written by people and
there's no
reason to think that those people had any special insight into the
nature of
their god that other people don't have. Second, the books are all
so vague
and contradictory that many sects can, and do, have directly opposing
beliefs which are all justifiable in terms of scripture.
And there are all of those books that were left out for political
reasons that are just as historically valid, often moreso, than the
ones included. Nag Hammadi should have taught the scholars more.
