I learned something today about early Christianity

And what I learned is that they were called "The way". Apparently it sometime thereafter that terms such as "Christian" and "Catholic" came about.

But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus.

About that time there arose no little disturbance concerning the Way.

Priest's sermon was about hate this weekend and verses in the bible require hatred of certain things, I was daydreaming so didn't get the full story. Anyway, he told the story about how he hated liver with a passion and one of his parishioners heard him and lectured him about hating. He told her that he hated liver, and nothing was ever going change that, he had Covid a year ago and his taste and smell has never returned. God wins again.

Jesus and his disciples never thought they were starting a new religion. They just had what they wholeheartedly believed to be "the way" or the truth that they wanted to spread..  This is something John McWhorter (agnostic) talks about in his book Woke Racism when making the claim that Wokeness is a religion for some in the Left.

I guess that was Christianity's earliest attempt at marketing the faith.  Now we get God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life or Jesus wants you to be wealthy.

Yea, those are all false doctrines.
