I understand where you’re coming from, but, perhaps you should research this yourself?
I honestly doubt that the historical reality of Proto Christian development impacts your faith. or even -could-.. but it’s going to be beyond pointless to try a dogmatic revision of history, particularly on these boards.
It didn’t happen the way you’ve clearly been lead to believe, and even the founders of Christianity knew as much. They were in it, still dealing with it, centuries after the fact.
We only know about this stuff because -they- write about their own concerns and, eventually,, banged their hands together to come up with what would be acceptable to the remaining enfranchised groups in their bid to capture the authority of the Roman state.
A very……very….,successful bid, I might add, which allowed them (among other things) to finally eradicate surviving pockets of dissent.
