From a theological perspective, the Dead Sea Scrolls are excellent insights into the historical Jesus, but not necessarily into the spiritual Jesus. If you actually study the process through which the Bible was eventually compiled - which took place over hundreds of years and many heated debates through ecumenical councils - you'll find that nothing was suddenly "changed" to fit any interpretation, but, more accurately, people's own experiences became more accurately described, much like any other process of knowledge, over time we come to understand things better.
