They thought that Jesus would come and dethrone them.

the Romans were very tolerant of other religions as long as people payedtaxes to their leaders and worshipped the roman gods but christians were monotheistic so they only belived in one god so they refused to worship the roman gods. This led to the persectitions of christians in ancient Rome

The numbers of Christians grew quickly and a general dislike for Christians probably arose from their refusal to worship the gods or take part in sacrifice, which was expected of those living in the Roman Empire.

Also Romans believed Christians took part in strange rituals and nocturnal rites, and so were a dangerous and superstitious sect.

It is also claimed that Christians were persecuted for their refusal to worship the emperor.

The Romans believed in many Gods - not just one. They saw the teachings of Christianity as a threat to their beliefs, and tried to suppress its followers.

Why did the churches pose a problem to Hitler?

The morality (or lack of it) of Hitler's Nazi government was becoming more clear to several Church leaders in Germany by the late 1930's. Some leaders stood-up in opposition to Hitler's policies that sought to purge Jews & the disabled. They were imprisoned. Christian teachings were in contradiction to those ideologies expressed by Hitler and the Nazis. Hitler clearly understood that his views contradicted those of the Church, and sought to first corrupt, then remove the influences of Christianity from German culture & society. The German public was slow to recognize Hitler's goal to destroy the religion of Christianity within the Third Reich.

Why did the Greek philosophy pose a challenge to Christian scholars?

Answer:Greek philosophy doesn't pose a challenge to Christianity. The opposite is true."...the Greeks seek after wisdom..." (I Cor.1:22).There is no human wisdom or understanding in the preaching of "...Christ crucified..." (verse 23).So, the challenge to Greek philosophy posed by Christianity is in their getting past their perceived "foolishness" of it.
