Look, Selah, I may not have read the entire Bible, but I've read about Yeshuah bin Miriam from both sides, and my personal opinion on him is that he was a progressive with a fairly peaceful message and at least a good portion of his heart in the right place. Then he suffered a painful, horrible, humiliating death for no real reason, because life is not and has never been all that fair.
Some of the people who'd met him and been inspired by his message (which was pretty humanitarian for the times, especially compared to the Roman religion) began spreading word of Yeshuah and the God he spoke of, but each of them had taken his teachings a little differently, and that process of natural mutation continued as time went on.
Discrepancies quickly developed between the various accounts as the people who'd known Yeshuah personally started to die out and their successors either misremembered, intentionally altered, or were simply never told about aspects of their Lord's teachings, and then proceeded to mix in their own opinions and observations, again for a variety of reasons.
After a while, someone decided to sort through all the conflicting stories and excise the parts they personally felt to be erroneous or unfaithful to Yeshuah's message (which they had pieced together based on ~100 years of word-of-mouth and personal extrapolation). The original Bible was the result, and it was riddled with blatant contradictions, vagueness, and meet-in-the-middle compromises that only served to further obfuscate whatever remained of the original word of Yeshuah bin Miriam.
As time passed, further editing was done for reasons both good and bad, until the Bible had become a patchwork Frankenstein of ideas and edicts from different people from different parts of the world during different time periods.
