I would like to point out that the heresy of Donatism gets stigmatized by Augustinians (who won the war) as "You have to be a 100% perfect person and if you're not you might as well just die" Really it's just "If you sold out the cause you don't get to be a leader in it"

A lot of the Christian proof text verses come from Jesus' famous "I am" statements in John - "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me"

To be fair to the Athanasians, Trinitarianism is a direct result of trying to wrestle with the grandiosity of some of the stuff Jesus is supposed to have said (especially in the Gospel of John but not just there) that gets elaborated on in places like the Epistle to the Hebrews
