I’ll make a quick exception since you’re clearly lacking a legitimate Biblical education. Your errors are ones that are commonly made by those without access to the proper materials.

Pagan persecution didn’t begin until the 4th Century, most Pagans in Rome had already converted or left Rome by then. The destruction of the temples and remaining conversions were due to the END OF SACRIFICES.

"Let superstition cease. Let the madness of sacrifices be exterminated; for if anyone should dare to celebrate sacrifices in violation of the law of our father, the deified Emperor, and of this decree of Our Clemency, let an appropriate punishment and sentence immediately be inflicted on him." – Codex Theodosianus

"No person shall pollute himself with sacrificial animals; no person shall slaughter an innocent victim; no person shall approach the shrines, shall wander through the temples, or revere the images formed by mortal labor, lest he become guilty by divine and human laws." – Codex Theodosianus, XVI.10.10.

The conversion of Constantine on his deathbed led to Rome becoming a one religion city.

Pagans and Jews were the 1st century conversions. It makes perfect sense that many traditions were assimilated. Those traditions have no affect on Christianity or the message of Jesus Of Nazareth, the Christ. Doctrine interpretation are disputed amongst various denominations.

The New Testament has more verifiable evidence than ANY other document in History.
