So who were the people that you got this belief from? Either in antiquity (the ones who believed it), modern times (the one's who told you about it) or both?.
that is a single source, corrupt, unaccredited 4th century publication written by the same conspirators that crucified the 1st century religious itinerant and used the itinerants death to promote their own political agenda disguised as a religion - to this day - bing - the state religion of the roman empire.
as pointed out the religion of antiquity though abandoned by all three desert religions is chronicled in all three of their publications. the glossed over events and conclusion of the great flood. abridged.
the 4th century corruption may very well have destroyed any writings by the itinerant as non would have verified the spurious claim of a messiah - being necessary for remission by the individual for admission to the Everlasting.
where is your written statement from the 1st century itinerant verifying any of your beliefs.
