When sotto voce drops these terse blurts that don't explain themselves, I recommend you just ignore them. He has general difficulties communicating which need to be addressed and a belligerence that doesn't reward attempts at comprehension.

How does Justin being a heretic explain the survival of his work?

Justin supported heresies of the Roman Empire's caricature 'church', that had temporal power; the power to censor, to maim, to kill. Of course, the true church did not have such power, and excluded any who even thought of its use.

It is therefore serious misrepresentation of Christians to state that Justin was a Christian or a martyr.

It could therefore be construed as illegal.

Were the so-called source texts of "Justin the Holy Martyr" - illegally - fabricated at a later epoch, in service of the centralised monotheistic propaganda machine?
