    What is with the language of "indoctrination" etc?

In short, the disciples wanted christianity to be essentially a slightly different flavor of judaism with most all jewish requirements, rituals, observations, and ecclesiastical laws intact. I don't remember all the specifics, but one of the bigger sticking points was circumcision being a requirement. Most adult men tended to shy away from this, so Paul removed it from his "official" version of doctrine in order to make it more attractive. I'll try to find out where I read that. It might have been the big catholic encyclopedia online.
    The issue with the "Judaizers" and the conflict it caused within the church is well documented in the New Testament itself.

    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
