During the fourth century, "It appears to have developed in the Egyptian area"... yep, that certainly explains the point Lera was making about the false gods like Osiris and Isis being transferred from the pagan religions into Christianity. Isis, Venus, Athena - all false goddesses whose legends and powers were taken and infused into a Christian faith under the guise of Mary which was taken over by false leaders who did not believe what they believed.
