abiogenesis

Well, we know they did because Christianity spread very quickly in different directions in the first few years/decades, to the point where it was all over the Roman empire and beyond, which shows that they spread out individually while still preaching the same message.

Also, the crucifixion of Jesus for "blasphemy" is reported in non-Christian historical sources, so that is a historically reported fact.

Is this what you were asking?

If, by the same message, you mean Marcionites, Ebionites, Valentinians, various brands of Gnostics, and dozens of other local brands of the message, I agree with you.

Yes, various heresies and branch offs did result, but Biblical Christianity also remained. In any event, this particular discussion probably ought to be moved to one of the other forums, as we've diverted pretty far from the original topic.
