Proto catholicism killed those motherfuckers for heretics. Kept their books, though. Useful.
Are you referring to certain non canonical gospels? Which ones?
Quote:I don't remember any that reflect that theology. I know of the gnostics.Should you? They were burnt as heretics.....after all.
Quote:There is Marcion, now that I think of it, but unless you shift all of Paul's writings into the second century (which I am dubious of the viability of such a theory), then it doesn't really fit.
None of "Paul" could have come from the first century......so there's always that...........
The best we could say...assuming that every corrolary to a christin story was incidental...is that gods' unoriginal. Thats a deal breaker or it isn't//but to the contention in question...the originality of christianity.......it's a call to prayer, lol.
