Instead he could have just researched what the early church believed which was often the most literal interpretation of the bible.

You probably know that there was already a lot of leaven in the early Church. We even have early Catholic tendencies in Clement and Ignatius. It seems that Paul's warning in Acts 20:29 already applied to the second generation.

That's certainly a very wise conclusion from a human perspective. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to me to be the one from the Word of God.
