A Sutra is a teachings of the Lord Buddha(who knew everything) to a particular person(peoples) , god or Brahma in a certain occasion. After the First Buddhist council all teachings of Lord Buddha collected as the Tripitaka and memorized by Arahant(enlightened) great Theros. So that there will not be a alteration to the pure teachings of Lord Buddha which contain the ultimate reality(Dharma).
458 years after Lord Buddha's Parinibbana at Sri Lanka, Tripitaka was write down to the books by 500 Arahant Theros.
There is no mistakes to a Lord Buddha, so each sentence of the Tripitakaya has a value if it hasn't altered.Some content of the Thititaka is very difficult to understand by a normal person who doesn't have great brain which receive with birth. Some contents have a very deep meaning.
Only the Abhidhamma Pitaka, describe the Dharma in a methodical way without a complement. But Abhidhamma Pitaka is difficult to understand without other knowledge.
