3. Why read his books when the source material (The Bible) is there....

All respect for you grandpa, but I dont think when they were writing up the scrolls and making the christian laws or rules of conduct that they meant for them to be flexible or interrpruted to suit a group or individuals needs. You cant just take pieces of the bible you LIKE and disregrad the rest you dont.
None of the writings (source materials) you refer to were written by Jesus. At best, his spoken words were translated from Aramaic to Greek 50 years after his death...then to English.

We can agree to disagree...but to me, holding on to old words is missing the point entirely.
