@djsumdog @rasterman The early church did not have several variants. There were several variant groups of claiming Christ. The early church, the body of Christ, has always had the same testimony.

The canon was established around 350 precisely because of variant texts. The ecumenical councils occurred to deal with these same variants.

The most generous think to be said of the "variants" is that they walked a path that was not subsequently paved and agreed upon to be the way,.
