I do tend to be more generous when discussing these things than a person chiefly consumed by claims to historicity, as, if historicity is a necessity then the worlds major religions are flatly and simply false as a point of fact - but since factual historicity is not a necessity of religious belief or revision, they cannot be false on grounds of issues with factual historicity.
It's no coincidence that, in the grafting example, genuine understanding of our shared predicament as human beings that will form a basis of an ideology we might all appreciate as improvement on those grounds is immediately undercut by a claim to the jewish people having been cut off from their own religion and gods...as an item of factual historicity.
The assertions to historicity do not certify the religious claims, and, in most cases, they actively harm them. Ala..the jewish people did not historically get themselves wrong, "paul" got an item of moral import right...and it's one of the major distinctions...ideologically, from judaism.
