known as Orthodox Christianity was not agreed upon for hundreds of years following the alleged events regarding a preacher and his teachings known during his lifetime as "The Way" a small Jewish Cult. There were for some time various interpretations of who this guy was including the Marcionites and Ebionites - the versions of which were crushed out as "heresy" by the Orthodox Community.
I believe it was the Marcionites who viewed Jesus as illumined by Yahweh at the River Jordan at the encounter with the Baptist and that Illumination ends on the Cross when Jesus cries out My God, My God why have you forsaken me. The Ebionites held that Jesus was a Phantom and never full flesh and blood. The Orthodox view takes pre-eminence over time, a few hundred years - and comes to use parts or those other interpretations claiming that Jesus was FULLY MAN and FULLY GOD. OK.
Great great story. I cannot personally buy into this entirely anthropomorphic interpretation of a Diety that has a son, so I find this Son of God thing difficult. Works in Ancient times perhaps. The writers of the Gospels - lost in the mist of time - each wrote to their own audiences and that is a fascinating study where you can see the growth of anti-semitic viewpoints in each progressive writers' version.
