Yeah, and it's fascinating to me. I grew up in a high control Christian group (Jehovah's Witnesses), and their narrative is that the first century Christians were completely united in belief and purpose, and that they are the direct inheritors of that. A more careful reading of the gospels will show there were stark differences in belief among those writers. A quote from Jesus shows up in one that doesn't in the other because each writer was trying to advance a certain viewpoint that wasn't universally shared by Christians at the time.
I find this way more interesting than one set of unified beliefs.
Oh hey,I also grew up JW. I also like being specific and correct when criticizing beliefs etc.
