- Bootvis 4y agoYour earlier comment generalises a bit too far though. Some early christians is not the same as early Christianity. Interesting fact nonetheless.
- qersist3nce 4y agoI'm interested in this too. I've heard an account, that some Byzantine queen-consort was told by a soothsayer that she (the queen) in her pervious life, was a witch. So the queen asked/persuaded the king to remove this from Christianity.
- gumby 4y agoI admit I’m not too well versed in the literature but I think I learned in world civilization class that one of their gods came back to life (and opened its own tomb and walked out) after ritual execution by the Romans. That puts reincarnation at the center of the story.
