How did Paul contribute to the spread of Christianity?
Paul of Tarsus, who was previously known as Saul spread Christianity as the first Christian missionary, or person who spreads their belief to non-believers. He travelled across the Roman Empire, sending Christian messages to gentiles and non-Jewish communities as well as to Jews. This allowed more people to follow the faith. He preached about Christianity in new areas where no one had preached before, and established Christianity there.
Did Paul Just Preach To Christians?
Yes, Paul preached to both Christians and non-Christians. He played a key role in spreading Christianity to different regions and communities, both by establishing new churches and by providing guidance and teachings to existing Christian communities through his letters and visits.
What is Christianity's beginning?
Christianity started with Jesus Christ and his followers. They originally were Jewish but "branched off" to form a religion that accepted non-Jews.
What geographical factors both helped and limited the spread of Christianity?
The Roman Empire was the geographical factor which first helped the spread of Christianity. It started in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire. It was spread through this empire, especially its eastern part by Christian preachers. Originally the Christians were Jews who preached other Jews and followed Jewish law. Paul created a theology which opened Christianity to the gentiles (non-Jews) of the Roman Empire. He said that faith in Jesus and following his teaching was what was required for salvation. Therefore, you did not have to be a Jew or follow Jewish law to be a Christian. Christianity was endorsed by all but one of the emperors after Constantine the Great. This helped his spread. The co-emperors Gratian and Theodosius made mainstream Christianity (the Latin/Western Church and the Greek/eastern Church, which later came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively) the sole legitimate religion of the empire.
How does Christianity and Judaism interact with eash other?
Judaism teaches that there are different paths for different people so therefore, accepts that there are different religions. For a large percentage of Jews, Christianity is a valid path for non-Jews. However, Judaism forbids Jews from participating in the worship practices of other religions, as a result, most Jews will not attend services held in a church. Christianity teaches that Christians are supposed to witness to non-Christians. Some denominations of Christianity do not interpret this literally and participate in interfaith dialogue with Jewish groups. Unfortunately, some Christian denominations spend millions of dollars a year specifically targeting Jews for conversion to Christianity.
Why shouldn't you believe in Judaism?
Jews are encouraged to study their heritage thoroughly before passing knee-jerk judgment. As for non-Jews, Judaism does not proselytize. Nonetheless, Judaism is out there or anyone to look into.
Why was the apostle Paul significant to the spread of Christianity?
Paul made Christianity a religion which was accessible to the gentiles (the non-Jews) of the Roman Empire. Prior to this the Christians were Jews who saw Jesus as the promised messiah of the Jews, preached the word of Christ in Judea to fellow Jews and and still followed Jewish laws, customs and rituals and went to the synagogue Paul created a theology based on Christ, rather than on the Mosaic Law and established the fundamental beliefs of Christianity: that God sent his Son who was crucified for the benefit of humanity and that his resurrection brought the promise of salvation to believers. He said that to be a Christian you needed to have faith in Christ and follow his teachings. This was enough for salvation. He distinguished Christianity from Judaism by saying that humans are saved from sin by faith and not by following rituals or a law as the Jews believed. You did not have to follow Jewish law and you did not have to be a Jew.The Torah was not necessary for salvation, Jesus alone was decisive. Thus, gentiles (non-Jews) could convert to Christianity . Paul made Christianity accessible to everyone and laid the foundations for the conversion of the anyone in the Roman Empire.
How did early Christian leaders such as Paul help separate Christianity from Judasim?
Paul created a theology based on Christ, rather than on the Mosaic Law and established the fundamental beliefs of Christianity: that God sent his Son who was crucified for the benefit of humanity and that his resurrection brought the promise of salvation to believers. He distinguished Christianity from Judaism by saying that humans are saved from sin by faith in Jesus and by following his teachings and not by following a law as the Jews believed. Jewish law was not necessary for salvation, Jesus alone was decisive. Thus, gentiles could convert to Chistianity and did not need to become Jews and follow their laws. Up to then Christians had been Jewish Christians who saw Jesus as the promised messiah of the Jews, spread the word only to other jews and still adhered to Jewish laws, customs and rituals and went to the synagogue. Paul's theology made Christianity accessible to the gentiles (non-Jews). This made it possible for Christianity to spread around the Roman Empire
