Since you've already closed your mind to any evidence that might contradict your assumptions, you'll consider anyone providing it "misguided". Again, that is not a reasonable judgment on the evidence being presented but on the willingness of the receiver to consider it.
Your other questions are argumentative and apparently not answerable to your satisfaction.

Essentially I agree with your first statement, and part of your second one.
True at all times? Which version are you referring to? There are many. Do you exclude the books Nicea excluded? The Catholic bible has more books that the protestant, are they excluded or included? Good News vs. King James, vs.... Is the differing genealogy of Jesus, both which end in Joseph who had nothing to do with it, absolutely true? There's so much to cover here: including worshipping a "perfect book," and those who may, or may not, have been the authors, instead of where the focus should be: Jesus. Jesus wrote nothing: at least nothing that has survived. For the "Old" there were also authors: some possibly known, some not. Plus, authorship was rather loosely defined in those times: could be disciple of a disciple or discipleS of a disciple.
Note: I believe all faiths are about their prophets and their deities. Organized religon, however, is mostly about power and skewing the message so hierarchy can keep, and use, such power.
