The debate over DVC relates to historical evidence not the faith issues. The NT has been virtually under a microscope for two millenia. Its provenance is thoroughly established. The record of its study alone is documented to the 2nd Century. The Gnostic gospels; Brown's basis; are de-coupled from the NT gospels by 200 years and there is no independently verifiable line of authorship. They were excluded from the NT because they promote concepts that directly conflict with the fundamental tenets of Christianity. The Gnostic concepts are closer to the Koran than to the NT. Even if one were to accept the Gnostic texts, they're directly self-contradictory relative to the supposed Jesus-MM "thing".
