Going by #1 there is not a single, authentic, document for any of this jesus freak horseshit. Everything we have consists of later copies and, as Bart Ehrman has amply demonstrated, the copies are error-ridden and heavily edited pieces of shit.
The Pyramid Text, first inscribed into the tomb of the Fifth Dynasty Pharaoh, Unas, might be the earliest example of an "authentic" religious text we have.
Quote:The texts then describe several ways for the pharaoh to reach the heavens, and one of these is by climbing a ladder. In utterance 304 the king says:[4]
Hail, daughter of Anubis, above the hatches of heaven,
Comrade of Thoth, above the ladder's rails,
Open Unas's path, let Unas pass!
Another way is by ferry. If the boatman refuses to take him, the king has other plans:
If you fail to ferry Unas,
He will leap and sit on the wing of Thoth,
Then he will ferry Unas to that side!
Predates this jesus shit by 2400 years or so.
