And they are completely justified if there's no evidence of said existence. Just because they happen to be wrong doesn't make the train of thought wrong.
that was one of the many intended extensions of my point

This is mostly true, friend, and yet early Christianity is still ultimately Greco-Roman before anything else. The New Testament was written in Greek before any other language, and most of the early Christian converts were Roman, not Jews. It was that Roman Christian minority that ended up spreading Christianity during those early, pre-Constantine centuries. If not for Paul spreading Christianity to those Romans, we might not even know about it today, since it wasn't very popular and didn't take hold strongly among the Jews, who had many other sects and self-proclaimed messiahs to choose from (the Bible even lists some of these.)
Also note that all these Egyptian and African early Christians were Hellenized- they were brought up in a Greco-Roman culture which had taken root in North Africa and would not know of Christianity if it hadn't spread through that same Greco-Roman culture.
Those in power in Rome sure but there were enough Christians in Rome for alot of people to be killed. Christianty started in Rome and is Roman (borrowed from Egypt).

He was obviously the word of God In Flesh, hence his common approach became the angelic shield for friends, the world over. David Koresh was here today gone yesterday. Another demonic individual who used the word of God to become a demonic mack of young people.Even if there was proof of Jesus' existence, it wouldn't prove he was anything other than a common man. After all, we have pictures, artifacts, etc of David Koresh.
Thank you.
Friend, why are you responding to one post several times from different screen names?
I just heard on the radio this morning that they discovered a new piece of doctrine from 3-4th century having Jesus refer to his "wife"...basically, he may have been married (or people atleast at that time thought he couldve been married)
All these celebate Catholic priests who can't touch a woman so revert to touching altar boys are
