Jesus Christ

I was absent on Wednesday!!

Rise of Christianity
Jesus spends 3 years preaching and then later put to death and his followers believe he is the Messiah and that he has rose from the dead. Saul, becomes Paul and spreading the message, one true God and no Roman Gods. Christianity evolves from cult status to establish, official structure. Priest, Bishops, Pope ( Bishop of Rome ) .

Hardly anybody believe in Roman Gods and all the other Romans started to believe in Christianity and the Romans were gone. You don't want to publicly tell everybody your a Christian because you will die because the emperor stills believe in the Romans Gods who don't exist there just basically myths.

Christians and Jews are monotheistic the believing in one God, this was a conflict with Roman beliefs, persecution between the both was really common and as it grew even some Roman leaders embraced Christianity.

With in 200 years of Christ dying more than 10% of all Romans became Christians. Constantine had a battlefield conversion, he issues the Edict of Milan, not only no persecution but actually approve its an official religion of Rome. Emperor of Rome and the bishops were linked and were sharing ideas and helping each other out.
