Proteus, the GT papyri as it relates to Christianity may or may not date to the 1st century. We've had that discussion before -- the fragments are so small and so easy to "interpret" -- and the "dating" is all done based on handwriting, not on carbon dating. . .

In other words- there is no proof that the idea of Jesus as a human being dates back to the 1st or 2nd century -- he seems more like a heavenly based concept than a human in the early iterations. The Chrestians appear to have been different from Christians -- they may or may not have included early (what today you think of as) Christians.

The whole idea of a "good man" maybe a slave type somehow morphing into a "messiah" 4 centuries later is very different from modern Christianity.
