Ignorance and the Bible

its very possible western Christians created a sect to control the east and fight original Christians from the holy land, who weren't puffed up with imperial bullshit.

lol no, Antioch became the major center of Christianity after the Jews began banning Christians form their synagogues. The first Church was in the Upper Room of the Temple in Jerusalem. The first Bishop was James.
 
the church in Rome was around WAY before the 7th cenury.

So what? There were Christians in Rome before Constantine was born. Doesn't make them the first or even the head church. In fact they didn't even 'outrank' several Greek churches, as shown by letters from Paul addressing various issues.

The Peanut Gallery can find Darrell Bock's excellent book The Missing Gospels for a good layman's intro to early Christian churches.


The book has an excellent discussion on whether or not Rome dominated the churches early on. It didn't.
