A fair enough point. I saw it differently when I phrased it, sort of the negative space of what you're saying here. If nothing in the scriptures was true, then the opposite of the scriptures were true, then the facts of Jesus' life and death would be untrue. He would never have lived or died. Sorta more like saying "Well, you don't exist, therefor your birth certificate is inaccurate, because you were, in fact, never born." I actually didn't really reverse causality - I posited that the scriptures say X, and not just "not X" but "the opposite of X" is true. Therefor Christian theology, which undeniably shares some necessary facts with the Scriptures, is shaken to its core by the Scriptures being opposite-of-true.
