Re: Catholic origins
kbertsche
Marcion's beliefs were one set of many circulating in those days.
The impetus you speak of was created by the many gospels and not any particular one.
There were many mystery schools in that day and Constantine wanted just the one belief system where Jesus was both man and God so that Constantine, like many Emperors before him, could claim God status for himself.
He died before he could firm all that up.

Re: Catholic origins

Thanks for this.
We have no argument but I did laugh when I read this.
"it had a base where Paul was born"
You do know that all the biblical writers were Jews and that they are anonymous to us. Right?
I mean, Peter, Paul and Mary are not Middle Eastern names. They are English.

Re: Speaking of names.
LamarkNewAge
Theories abound.
Jesus is also said to be the Serpent and Dragon of scriptures.
You can find just about any theory to justify any belief these days and it will just get worse over time.
That is why all these theories are all becoming useless unless followed by actual evidence, logic or reason.
