Perhaps you can show it to me? Whenever I ask xtians all I get is a pile of pious bullshit from the bible and that's worthless.
The proto-orthodox seem to have been shaken to their core by the work of Marcion. Here's Irenaeus on the subject.

Note how Marcion is accused of editing the work of "paul" and the so-called gospels. Except, until Marcion, there was no canon, He was the first. And he scared the shit out of the proto-orthodox with it.
Feel free to join in, Nestor....if you have anything relevant to add.
I was thinking about the First Century Roman emperors, such as Claudius. I believe he has a historical record with the Christians as well as a Biblical one. And I was also thinking about the catacombs but their involvement with Christian burials may start around the Third Century.
Anyway, your Greek link is written in modern Greek so it's a fraud. That also blows Nestor's link out of the water for the same reason.
