Under various Christian emperors, from Constantine to Theodosius and beyond, the Christian Church became increasingly intolerant and willing to justify murder and persecution to achieve its ends.
The Nestorian Church came about in 431 CE when the 'Nestorians' were excluded from the Orthodox Church, while the Jacobites emerged in the sixth century under a Syrian leader, Jacobus Baradaeus. At the eastern fringe of the Roman Empire and in the Persian Empire, they were free from imperial influence and able to develop their own moral and cultural standards. The Nestorian Church spread through Asia to India and China, as well as to parts of East Africa, rivalling in importance the Christian Church of the Roman Empire. While in the ancient Chinese capital of Xi'an, Christian missionaries were approached by a Buddhist missionary who needed help in translating his scriptures into Chinese so that he could preach in China. It is a mark of the tolerance of the Nestorians that their missionaries so willingly assisted a Buddhist missionary whom a missionary from the Roman Empire would have likely put to death.
With changes of dynasty in China, the rise of Islam and events elsewhere, the Jacobite and Nestorian Churches went into decline, but they show how Christianity could have been. The Roman Empire hurt Christianity by imposing a culture of intolerance onto the Church, a legacy we still see in small ways, even today.
