To each his own then. I know my history, my passion comes from the history. Just like I abhor leftist progressives rewriting history about our country's founding so goes the same for my spiritual beliefs. You can call Vermes and Ludemann crazy but within the halls of religious scholastics they are still considered giants and their work is constantly referenced.

30ad - Execution of Jesus

31ad to 69ce - establishment of James and the Jerusalem church and the original disciples there. The first assemblies of believers in Jesus' Way happen there.

50ad - Paul meets with James in Jerusalem

51ad - Paul writes his first letter/epistle

67ad - Paul dies

70ad - Destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, scattering of the 'Jerusalem Church' to various groups

71ad to 300ad - the establishment and settlement of splinter groups descended from James and the Jerusalem church (Nazarenes, Ebionites, Matteans, Nicolaitons) throughout Asia, Syria, etc.

140ad - Marcion established the first collection of Paul's letters

180ad - Irenaeus collected & accepted all Paul's letters except Philemon

300ad-330ad Emperor Constantine solidifies the labeling of heretics (nazoreans/ebionites=judaizers, etc) against the catholic church

382ad - Vetus Latina bible collective

400ad - The Latin Vulgate is published

31ad - 100ad onward, the assembly of disciples in Jerusalem taught The Way of Jesus from there. Paul's letters didn't exist yet or they weren't collected together. Paul's letters were never collected together by any of the descendants of the 'Jerusalem Church'. The same as there was never a "New Testament" bible produced by James, or the Nazoreans, the Ebionites, etc.

Who do you mean when you say “the original disciples”?
