Didn't Nero launch Christianity?

[Acrobat]

I've elaborated at length.  Common and easily researched facts. Those facts were facts of marcions beliefs, insomuch as we know them, regardless of what you believe, or believe about them. He was in no way recognizable today, a christian, and yet he had an immense effect on the institution of christianity, and through them, your beliefs. So much so, in fact, that the charge of "modern day docetics" is commonly leveraged at american christianity.

Just as nero in no way launched christianity, though the institution of chistianity used nero (and many others) as a foil, which in turn effects your (and many other peoples) beliefs about the development of the faith. Ultimately, there's no clear reason for you to persist in these fantasies as they in no way alter or diminish the faith you have today, which isn't the faith of any of those nominal christians then. These are comments on the history of a movement, and what the people who deeply influenced that movement believed.

Christology was one of the first hurdles of building a christian orthodoxy, and the resolution of that dispute isn't in any way the factual recording of events, just a record of who won the disagreement, which played out in the streets, literally, and cost many people their lives.

Lol what a tool,, when did I say Marcion would classify as a Christian?

What I pointed out was that Marcion believed in a Jesus who lived in the first century, was viewed as the Christ, went around preaching about the Kingdom of God, was brought in front of Pilate, and subsequently crucified by the romans, all of which I’ve quoted his Gospel on.
