Re: Evidence for authority or inspiration
But God did not choose to reveal Himself to man in this way. God chose to reveal Himself to about 39 different writers in both the OT & NT, all leading to God's plan of salvation for man in Christ Jesus. The OT was written in Hebrew, and the NT in Greek.
Men chose those books and writers. Men also chose to exclude many of those gospels, including the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary of Magdalene. There is no telling how many other gospels were excluded that we now have no record of.
What did you do with God's plan of salvation in Christ Jesus that was offered to you?
The same thing that you are doing with the teachings of Buddha.

Re: Please pick & choose to find if God's plan of salvation in Christ Jesus is different?
It's the denomination of all Believers down through the ages that have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, . . .
Except for the Lutherans, of course.
My sister just moved to Alabama. The last time I talked to her on the phone she just busted up laughing so I had to ask her what was so funny. She had someone ask her if she was a christian. She answered yes. This was followed up with the question, "So are you First Baptist or Southern Baptist". Being from the pacific NW we had always thought that was just a stereotype of southern christianity. Guess it's not.
