If there was a theological battle between the two - what would be the arguments on both sides. Are there other options?
Why 33AD? The scripture says Jesus was the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Didn't the Old Testament saints look to him for salvation? People have been called to look to Christ for salvation ever since God made his first covenant with men when he made the Adamic covenant, so that is when Christianity was created and that is when you need to go back to if you want to claim Christian heritage.
