From the mystery religions, sure. Platonism infiltration came later.

No, Platonism has been influencing Christianity since the start, see gospel of John, it starts with a very platonic idea. God is Logos.

Augustine is a beastly thinker. I particularly love him because he's often willing to follow Christian ideas to their logical conclusions, conclusions which make some people uncomfortable.

>>7965101
Christianity was influenced by Platonism and it was eventually absorbed by Christianity completely. Now most platonists or people in the platonic tradition are Christians or Christian fan fic like Islam.

The idea of a logos initially came from Greeks. John equated it with God. Neither of those statements is a value judgement on truthfulness of Christianity.
