While it's true that early Christian history includes theological diversity and conflicts, the assertion that non-Pauline perspectives were universally suppressed through violence is an oversimplification. Early Christian debates involved a range of theological positions, not solely those associated with Paul.
Diversity of Views: The early Christian community indeed grappled with diverse theological perspectives, reflecting the complexity of interpreting the teachings of Jesus. Disagreements on topics like Christology and salvation were not limited to a single faction.
Suppression and Conflict: There were instances of theological conflicts, and some individuals or groups faced challenges to their beliefs. However, characterizing the entire process as a result of intentional suppression oversimplifies the historical context.
Formation of Orthodoxy: The establishment of theological orthodoxy was a gradual process and involved debates, councils, and discussions among various Christian communities. The notion of heresy developed over time as a response to theological challenges, but attributing it solely to violent suppression is an overstatement.
Varied Christian Movements: Gnostic and other non-Pauline traditions were not universally eradicated. Some persisted and influenced later Christian developments. The Nag Hammadi library's discovery, for instance, revealed a cache of Gnostic texts that survived burial for centuries.
Acknowledging the complexities of early Christian history helps avoid a reductionist narrative - which you are guilty of - and provides a more nuanced understanding of the dynamic interactions within the diverse Christian landscape.
