This theory of rhe incorrect words of Jesus in the New Testament is not very effective.
You still have Paul's letter of Second Corinthians which is a kind of amazing Christian apostle's autobiography. The same criticism you level at the "red letter" sayings of Jesus you now will have to similarly charge against Paul.
That is unless you are prepared to demonstrate that whoever wrote the Corinthian letters must have been mad.
So you dismiss Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as fictional words placed into the mouth of a man by some Galilean fishermen. Who wrote the words and why in Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians, Galatians, Romans?
Then again many of these skeptics don't bother to read the New Testament.
