The reason we'd "want to keep something that isn't true" is that the Bible is laid out like an exam, and most people don't read it properly.
During the 1st Temple period we see how the religion instead of blessing animals to eat, started to create Levitical sacrificial laws (Numbers).
The Book of Leviticus was compiled in Babylon, and contradicts Moses in Deuteronomy & Exodus.
We then see how this escalated with prophets being sent, saying "God didn't require sacrifice", and then some of these got murdered, where after it was taught that you could gain atonement through the prophets deaths (Matthew 23:27-38, Matthew 15:1-9, Mark 7:1-13).
In the Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen Yeshua explained that they'd do the same to him, as they had done to the prophets; where 'the Pharisees knew that they were being spoken about' (Matthew 21:33-46, Mark 12:1-12, Luke 20:9-19).
The early Ebionite church didn't believe the Messiah came as a human sacrifice, and then Simon who Yehoshua called 'petros' in Matthew 16:18 (Zechariah 3:9, Isaiah 8:14), joined Saul sent from the Sanhedrin, and they made up Christianity together (Acts 11:25-26).
Johannine texts were later added into the cannon, as they matched Pharisaic thinking.
James, Jude, Revelation are from the Ebionite Israelite movement challenging Pauline Christianity, and the Bible tells you it will be like a Snare that most overlook.
