Explain please. I don't quite understand your question.
Oh I think I see what you mean. To one extent every religion is. No one starts from page 1. I am not quite seeing however what Biblical Jesus borrowed from Rome that the Jews of the area hadn't already. Can you list some examples?
Really only discussing what Biblical Jesus is supposed to have said. He was clear that he was only there for the lost sheep of the Jews, not for the rest.
You seem to know what you are talking about, can you recommend a good starting book for the history for Christianity (or Islam)?
You make it sound very interesting.
Try Constantine's Sword by James Carroll. It's not "hard' history so it's an easy read. I'm sure doomer can supply more in-depth sources.
Thanks!
Thanks!
