No..there wasn't. Why do you think the roman administrative state was so pessimistic about the set? They were brawling in the streets, killing people for wrongthink as they saw it.
That's why "Paul" wrote his screeds. There was no unified christian faith at that time. You're talking about your sects establishment legend as though it were history, Vicki. It isn't. This isn't even a hot item of debate in christian studies. It's a known known.
You may believe that the eventually understanding which emerged victorious and became the foundation of your own contemporary christianity was an accurate one, with respect to jesus being god, but that isn't how christianity was birthed into the world as a matter of historic fact, even if it were true.
Which, amusingly, it isn't. Turtles all the way down.
