As I mention in my post about Paul in which I wrote;

This is totally consistent with the earliest form of Christianity being a Judeo-Hellenistic mystery religion. Like other mystery cults, Christianity had secret doctrines that only initiates were privy to and were rooted in esoteric astral or metaphysical theology. The general public were only being told Christian beliefs through myths and allegory. To obtain the true meaning Christian leaders (ie Paul) regularly hallucinated and believed their dreams were divine communications. They also achieved trace states, practised glossolalia (the speaking of tongues – not proper languages but rather gibberish - see 1 Corinthians 14) and were susceptible to psychosomatic illness.

They will say, "Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” (2 Peter. 3:4 - NIV)
