You don't seem to know a thing about early Christianity; The
Nicene council ws called specifically to suppress those who
questioned the nature of Christianity.
Its
history dates back thousands of years as demonstrated by the Dead Sea
scrolls etc.
The Dead Sea Scrolls never mention Christianity.
The term Christianity would not have been used because it had not yet
been "coined." The scrolls do use the term, "the way" which was what
early christians did call themselves.
That's pretty vague.
You're going to have to come up with a
stronger link than that. Can you cite the scroll "the way"
appears in; it might be a translational artifact.
Here's a list of books you may want to read to get caught up.
