Re: what was Pentecost about?
That's a good argument against the historical Jesus. The Clementine Literature and other sources make plain that Christians opposed animal sacrifices. There were no Christians taking part. My own sense is that the first Christians were Jewish proselytes rather than Jews anyway. Nominal Jews as it were.
