Any Jew would have been Judaisers. (not sure of the spelling there).
Greeks, Romans worshiped multiple gods (polytheism).
Religions vary in their teachings and beliefs. Generally, religions encourage followers to live morally, practice compassion, worship, and seek spiritual growth. They often promote community, giving to others, and following specific rituals and practices.
It came from Judaism. Jesus was a Jew and so was all his followers
Yes. Jesus was Jewish. He was (is) the Jewish Messiah that modern followers of Judaism are still waiting for. In the first century, all of the first followers of Jesus were Jewish.
No not at all. Only Christ will come again.
Yes John did send his followers to Jesus to find out if Jesus was the messiah.
We are not told what the followers of Jesus were first called, but not long after His resurrection we come across the name, "The Way". Possibly because Jesus was the "way" to God the Father in Heaven. Then later at the church in Antioch followers of Jesus were called Christian and have been known by that name ever since.
There are many followers of Jesus Christ who come to him in many different ways, but not necessarily chosen of him. Jesus talks of those who want to follow him, thus: Luke 9.23. And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Jesus was born among the Jews as they were God's chosen people. After Jesus rose from the dead his followers (Jew, gentile, etc.) who believed his word became known as Christians. Catholic means universal (God's message was for all) the word used to describe God's church was first recorded at antioch in the early 100s.
Mohamed lived and worked in the early 7th Century, so he came about 600 yrs after Jesus.
chistainity evolved after Christ came to earth and died on the cross to save all people from their sins. the Romans saw Jesus as a threat to the empire because of the massive numbers of followers. as an effect the tried to wipe out Christianity by killing all of Jesus' followers.
It means that you're a follower of Jesus Christ, you believe that he is the Son of God, that the bible is God's word (and that all in it, being God's word, is true), and try to follow it as closely as possible. As for how it became applied to the followers, I'll simply say that his name was Jesus Christ, and so the following of him is Christianity...
The phrase early in the peace comes from the Bible. It's what the angels said to the shepherds after the birth of Jesus.
