Did Jesus show himself to non-believers after the resurrection?
In Matthew's Gospel, the risen Jesus showed himself to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, and then to the disciples in a mountain in Galilee. It does not appear that he was seen by non-believers.In Luke's Gospel, Jesus showed himself to Cleopas and another on the road to Emmaeus, and then to the eleven disciples in a room in Jerusalem. He then took the disciples out towards Bethany, where he was taken up bodily to heaven on the evening of his resurrection. In this account, it is unlikely that he was seen by non-believers.Acts of the Apostles, by the same author, but written some time later, says that Jesus was seen by the apostles and other believers for forty days and was then taken up bodily to heaven. This was a longer period on earth, giving opportunities for him to be seen by non-believers, but Acts does not suggest this, emphasising the faithful to whom it says he appeared.In John's Gospel, Jesus showed himself to Mary Magdalene, then to ten of the disciples in a room in Jerusalem, and eight days later to all eleven disciples in the room in Jerusalem, and later to the disciples at the Sea of Galilee. This was also a longer period on earth, giving opportunities for him to be seen by non-believers, but John does not suggest this.Mark's Gospel was the original gospel account, and originally ended at verse 16:8, with the young man saying that Jesus was risen and the women ran off in terror, telling no one; the "Long Ending" (verses 16:9-25) were added much later, to provide the necessary evidence of the risen Jesus. So, in the original of the Gospel, Jesus was certainly not seen by non-believers. In the "Long Ending" there is no suggestion that he could have been seen by non-believers.
Was John's Gospel intended for believers or non-believers or both?
A:Christian tradition says that the fourth gospel was written by the apostle John, who would have been writing largely for non-believers, but also for believers. Many Christians are surprised to learn that John was not really the author of the Gospel that now bears his name, but that it was written anonymously and only attributed to John later in the second century, after having been attributed to at least one other possible author.A study of the text shows that John's Gospel was actually written within an existing Christian community, now known as the Johannine community because of the subsequent tradition associating it with John, for the members of that community. The community would certainly have welcomed converts, but this gospel seems to have been written for believers.
What province was Jesus born in?
AnswerMatthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel say that, in accordance with expectations for the Jewish Messiah, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which was in Judea. Some interpret John's Gospel as ambiguously suggesting that he was actually born in Galilee,.
Why did Romans have Christianity?
Because Christians took the gospel to Rome. When the first gospel message was preached in Jerusalem there were people from many regions around the Mediterranean in Jerusalem to celebrate the festival of Pentecost. Many of these people believed the gospel and took the gospel message back to their home town undoubtedly some of these people were from Rome. You can read this in the New Testament Acts chapter 2, Act 2:5 And Jews were living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven.

What is the context of the Gospel of Mark?
Although not at first apparent, the context of Mark's Gospel was the First Jewish War and the destruction of the Temple. There had been no gospel written in the decades since the time of Jesus, but scholars say that this gospel was written within about two years either side of the year 70 CE, when the Romans entered Jerusalem. The apocalyptic material in Mark was the consequence of the civil war in Jerusalem and the terrible destruction that eventuated.
