True enough in the late 1st century AD.... not so much in the early part when the jesus freaks elected to place their story.

It's almost as if they telegraphed their "historical" fuckups..or something.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That was an effect of romanization.  The romans weren't exactly pleased with the jews, the christians needed the romans to be pleased with them.  Problem, meet solution.

That helps explain it.

Early Church is something that we went to during football season.

I think that people would be surprised at how much of the strange beliefs of christiana boil down to a political reality in rome. Not, as Min pointed out..in 0-33ad.. or whenever the hell they swear godman came to earth, ofc.
