What is older version of Christianity?
AnswerEarly Christianity seems to have been incredibly diverse. For example, Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that the branch of Christianity that Paul joined was quite different from that documented in the New Testament Gospels. Certainly, Paul wrote of those who taught "a different Christ". The Gospels, in turn, speak of "false prophets" - those who taught Christian doctrines different to those in the Marcan tradition. It is difficult to know which of these many groups really represented the original message of Christianity. Gradually a "proto-Catholic-Orthodox" branch of Christianity formed and began to dominate.In the fourth century, Emperor Constantine gave the Catholic-Orthodox Christians state patronage. This branch of Christianity, and the Arians who espoused somewhat similar creeds, soon eliminated almost all support for other Christianities.The Great Schism of 1054 resulted in the separation of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. On the one hand, the Catholic Church would say that it is the true heir of the former Church, and therefore the oldest. On the other hand, the Orthodox leaders would say that the Orthodox Church is true to the early Christian traditions and is therefore the oldest. Both could be accepted as equally ancient. More broadly, the Coptic Church, which has been a distinct church body since the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE, is arguably the oldest extant Church.
What was the first European country to convert to Christianity?
In its early years, Christianity spread slowly from Judea to other parts of the Roman Empire. By the time of Emperor Constantine, at the beginning of the fourth century, it is estimated that around ten percent of the population of the empire were Christians. Final conversion of the citizens of the empire to Christianity resulted from imperial decree, rather than 'conversion' as we normally use the term. Towards the end of the fourth century, Christianity was decreed to be the state religion. The orthodox-catholic Christian Church was given the power to confiscate the temples and all temple property belonging to pagans and Mithraists, and to enforce conversion to orthodox-catholic Christianity. So conversion to Christianity should be seen in empire-wide terms, rather than a country by country mission.
What was the first Christian denomination apart from the Roman Catholic Church?
A:The Roman Catholic Church insists that it was the first Christian Church, but this is not entirely true. The evidence of Paul's epistles is that the Christian Church was already divided in the middle of the first century. There is no certainty that the early branch of Christianity that came down to us today was any earlier than others of the very early branches. True, the Catholic Church claims that the apostle Peter came to Rome to be the first bishop of Rome, but there is no proof that Peter even visited Rome. Without Peter, one of the central pillars to the claim of Catholic primacy is removed.It appears that Gnostic Christianity competed with Catholic-Orthodox Christianity from the very earliest times. Some scholars date the mildly gnostic Gospel of Thomas to the middle of the first century, earlier than any of the New Testament gospels. In an attempt to establish a unified faith, Constantine set out, in the fourth century, to elimimate Gnostic Christianity, with partial success.The 'Catholic-Orthodox' Church, that we now think of as Christianity, flourished and became dominant, especially after the time of Constantine. The Coptic Church of Alexandria broke away in 451 CE. In 1054, the Great Schism resulted in the separation of the Church into a Roman Catholic Church in the west and Orthodox Churches in the east.
Do any Bible verses forbid choosing a religion other than Roman Catholic?
The evidence of the Bible is that there was a great deal of diversity in Christianity during the first century. Gradually one group began to dominate and went on to become what is now known to scholars as the Catholic-Orthodox Church. This group subsequently began to splinter, with some groups such as the Coptics and Arians leaving the main Church. The Great Schism of 1054 resulted in the separation of the unified Church into what we now know as the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. Protestant Churches left the Roman Catholic in the Reformation, and so can claim to share the heritage of the Catholic Church. No one modern Church can really claim to be the original Christian Church to the exclusion of all others. The books that now form the New Testament were the ones selected by the Catholic-Orthodox Church, and they do warn against other Christian groups, with references to "false prophets" and "heretics". But they do not mention the Roman Catholic Church.
What led to the splits or schisms in Christianity?
The primary split in Christianity came through the works and writings of Martin Luther. The movement he created had a name, it was the Reformation and the date of its beginnings was 1517.Luther was in a Catholic monastic order and at the age of 28 was a professor of Christian theology at the University of Wittenberg in Germany.Luther took a stand against Catholic policies, particularly the sale of "indulgences" that were a Church method of forgiving a person from sin. The Church used these funds to help build up the buildings within the Vatican. Luther also had other grievances against the Church. The final result was his excommunication from Catholicism.Luther's revolt, the Reformation, resulted in the creation of Protestantism.Another major split in Christianity was the creation of the Greek Orthodox Church. This was the Greek section of the Eastern Church.Historically referred to as the Orthodox Eastern Church, this had split from Rome in the Byzantine empire in 1054.
What is a split that occurred within the Catholic Church that resulted in two separate churches Eastern Orthodox and Catholicism in 1047?
You're thinking of the Eastern Schism, sometimes called the Great Schism, but in the Catholic Church, the Great Schism refers to the Western Schism in the 15th century, not the Eastern Schism in the 11th century.
What came first Orthodox Christians or Catholic Christians?
The Greek Orthodox and Coptic Orthodox Churches are now theologically the same but are separate because of the misunderstanding that happened in 451AD however both now see each others view on the nature of christ as truly ORTHODOX They both have apostolic succesion the Greek Orthodox founded by St.Andrew and the Coptic Orthodox founded by St.Mark.Both have presevered their native traditions and beliefs something that is sacred to all eastern churches
When did the Orthodox Catholic Church start?
The Orthodox Church was founded by Jesus Himself in the year 33 AD, on the Day of Pentecost. According to Orthodox Christian beliefs, the Orthodox Church has always existed from the beginning of time (called the Church Triumphant) but the physical church on earth (called the Church Militant) was established in Jerusalem in 33 AD and continues to exist to this day without any changes to its dogmas and beliefs. From the Orthodox perspective, both the Orthodox and Catholics started at the same time, in the year 33 AD, when there was no such thing as Orthodox and Catholic, and there was only the universal Christian Church. So they both shared a common foundation for the first 1,000 years of their history. However, after that time, difference arose that led to the Great Schism of 1054 AD. This caused a split in the universal Church, which resulted in the formation of an Orthodox East and a Latin West. The Orthodox Church claims that the Latins (later known as Roman Catholics) split from the Body of the Church because of Papal claims of supremacy over the Church, and changes to the Nicene Creed (the filioque clause), which were not accepted by anyone else at that time.
