If your theology requires you to postulate that God apparently failed to succeed in communicating the key meaning to any Christian prior to 400 A.D., perhaps that key interpretation was not so key after all.
Kama theolojia yako inakulazimisha udai kuwa Mungu anaonekana kushindwa kuwasilisha maana ya msingi kwa Mkriso yeyote kabla ya mwaka 400 BK, huenda maana hiyo ya msingi haijawahi kabisa kuwa ya msingi.
