What 5 reasons made Christianity spread?
Answer 1God's WillJesus' perfect exampleHis miracles and healings - bringing the dead back to life and making the blind see.His Resurrection and AscensionConviction of His Apostles/disciplesSteadfast travelling and teaching of the Message of the Gospel empowered now by God's Holy Spirit.An ever growing/enlarging Church of God membershipTrue belief even unto suffering and deathPick-and-choose five.Answer 2There are also historical and anthropological reasons that have little to do with the faith merit (or lack thereof) of Christianity.1) Removal of Jewish Lifestyle Doctrines: It was not uncommon in the Jewish world for Messiah-Claimants to appear and do their song and dance. What made Jesus persist is not the Jewish community's reception of him, but how the Greek (pagan) community received his message. Peter and Paul wisely made the decision to separate Christ-worship from Judaism and removed many of the Jewish laws from applying to new converts, such as restrictions on food, abstaining from work on the Sabbath, and the necessity of male circumcision. Removing these requirements made Christianity very accessible and won Greek converts.2) Success of the Apostles Spreading the Word: Peter, Paul, and the Other Apostles and Disciples of the Early Church had a message that they were passionate about and that people in different communities gravitated towards. It was the strength of this message that gave Christians the wherewithal to withstand three centuries of persecution in small ecclesia or communities.3) Conversion of the Roman Empire: The biggest growth in Christianity was the conversion of Emperor Constantine to Christianity and its becoming the official Roman Religion. This led to mass conversions across the Empire to avoid the issue of being religiously persecuted and to take advantage of being part of the new majority religion.4) Removal and Castigation of Non-Christians in Christian Territories: Throughout the Middle Ages, Christian leadership was incredibly hostile to non-Christian religions such as Judaism and Islam that existed within Europe or other Christian-controlled territories. The Inquisitions and pogroms across Europe made it difficult for non-Christians (or even heretical Christians) to practice their faiths and many converted to Christianity to avoid the pain and torture that would befall those who did not convert.5) Ascendance of Europe and Planetary Conquest: When Europe arrived in the New World, they brought their faith with them. When Europeans conquered the New World (and eventually the Old World), they created Christian institutions across their new territories and supplanted the indigenous religions. Precautions were taken to prevent Islam from also becoming part of the New World with the deportation of the Berberiscos and Moriscos back to Morocco. As a result of this "untainted" Christian territory, over 80% of Americans (across America) are either Christian (in whole or part) or Atheist/Agnostic with primarily Christian backgrounds.
What happen to all of the apostles?
The Apostles Peter and Paul made coversion missions all over the eastern part of the Roman Empire (which became a stronghold of Christianity). Peter and Paul, I believe, became Christians that were separate from Judaism while the others became heads of the Jerusalem Church. The heads of the Jerusalem Church were Jewish Christians. The Jewish Christians read from a Greek version of the Torah called the Septuagint, which had I believe 37 books while the Hebrew Torah had 27 books. Their worship of Jesus came from oral traditions. Peter and Paul probably read from the Septuagint but their type of Christians were more like those of modern day, as they had Preists, Bishops, and Prebysters while the Jewish Christians had Rabbis, Highpriest and so. Saint John and Saint Mark wrote the Gospels in AD 70 and Luke and Matthew wrote their Gospels by about AD 110. Saint John wrote the Revealation and Saint Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles, which can give you a more detailed account of what happened to the Apsotles. Saint Peter is said to have become the Bishop of Rome, thus being the first Pope. Peter and Paul were crucified, Peter on Vatican Hill.
How did early Christian leaders such as Paul help separate Christianity from Judasim?
Paul created a theology based on Christ, rather than on the Mosaic Law and established the fundamental beliefs of Christianity: that God sent his Son who was crucified for the benefit of humanity and that his resurrection brought the promise of salvation to believers. He distinguished Christianity from Judaism by saying that humans are saved from sin by faith in Jesus and by following his teachings and not by following a law as the Jews believed. Jewish law was not necessary for salvation, Jesus alone was decisive. Thus, gentiles could convert to Chistianity and did not need to become Jews and follow their laws. Up to then Christians had been Jewish Christians who saw Jesus as the promised messiah of the Jews, spread the word only to other jews and still adhered to Jewish laws, customs and rituals and went to the synagogue. Paul's theology made Christianity accessible to the gentiles (non-Jews). This made it possible for Christianity to spread around the Roman Empire
What scripture talks about Nero?
The Bible never mentions Emperor Nero. Although later Christian traditions say that he persecuted the early Christians throughout the Roman Empire and that he had both Peter and Paul executed in Rome, Acts of the Apostles never mentions these claims or anything else about Nero, although Acts was largely about Peter and Paul, and was clearly written after the time of Nero.
