Which, again, is pure assumption based on single source credulity. The divinity of Jesus wasn't declared before the first council of Nicea in 325 and the council of Constantinople in 381 when the holy spirit entered the arena. It also leaves out all the non trinitarian views such as Arianism, Adoptionism, Monarchianism, and Subordinationism that existed before and afterwards.
I even found you an Ehrman quote from your favorite book
Quote:That the earliest Christians did not consider Jesus God is not a controversial point among scholars. Apart from fundamentalists and very conservative evangelicals, scholars are unified in thinking that the view that Jesus was God was a later development within Christian circles.
Check your sources, damn it.
