On the contrary, this is a powerful approach to dismissing Christianity's truth claims as western state propaganda. Christianity emerged as a false belief system among heathen traditions; it is inconsequential for Hindus whether Christianity emerged from the Mideast or in the Western Empire. Regardless, we are grappling with the entity as it is today. For the Christians, however, these findings completely destroy the credibility of their claims. Jesus is the prophet of the Empire. Jesus "predicts" the destruction of the Temple within one generation and this is "fulfilled" by the Emperor Titus Flavius. Jesus is the personal prophet of Titus Flavius.
Also, Christians cannot claim now that the Empire later took over the peaceful teachings of Christianity and distorted them with imperialistic tendencies. The imperialism of Christianity is inbuilt. All the profuse professions of "peace" and "liberation" are simply instances of colonial euphemism.
These researches need extended discussion among Hindus.
