Why was there conflict between early Christians and Roman authorities?
A:Many Christians firmly believe today that until the time of Constantine, Christians faced endless persecution by the Roman authorities. In fact, there were no more than 12 years of official persecution during the three centuries before Emperor Constantine. When Christians were persecuted, it seems that the authorities were really more concerned about the risk to good government of having a state within a state, or a reaction to potentially treasonous actions by some Christians.Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) goes as far as to conclude about the attitude of the emperors to the Christians:That a considerable time elapsed before they considered the new sectaries as deserving of the attention of government.That in the conviction of any of their subjects who were accused of so very singular a crime, they proceeded with caution and reluctance.That they were moderate in the use of punishments; andThat the afflicted church enjoyed many intervals of peace and tranquility.Gibbon describes the real period of conflict as beginning with Constantine and reaching its height late in the fourth century, when the Christian Roman authorities initiated centuries of persecution of those who followed paganism, even making the ancient religion illegal under Roman law.
How did the teachings of Jesus threaten the Romans?
The Romans did not see Jesus as a threat. To them he was an insignificant figure in a small backwater of the Roman Empire (Judea). Jesus was seen as a threat by the Jewish priests, not by the Romans.
What foods did the Romans get from invaded countries?
Grains ( but that is only some like Egypt )
Why Did The Romans Consider Jesus A Threat?
At the top of Jesus' head was a sign that denoted His crime, "King of the Jews." He was executed for being a political rebel although unproven and untrue. Upon the cross were a thief and another social outcast who were being executed for crimes that today would not anywhere incur execution.
Why were some Romans unnerved by practices of early christians?
The apostles as they preached the word also taught the communion with God in the body and blood of Christ. As they learned it themselves from Jesus, they announced "the body of Christ" and "the blood of Christ" as the Eucharist and wine were passed. This caused some Romans to believe that Christians ate their God !
Why did some Romans dislike Jesus?
Jesus was making miricals happen. The Romans belived that someone who could make a blind man see could destory a mighty empire, like the Roman one. They were afraid of him. The Romans did not dislike Jesus, they didn't even know him. Jesus, during his lifetime, had very little contact with Romans and the contacts that he did have were all positive. Even Pilate "could find no fault in him". Proof that he was unknown to the Romans was in his betrayal. Someone (Judas) had to point him out to the arresting Romans.

Did Jesus dislike the Romans?
At the time, many Jewish people did not like the Romans who were ruling over them politically, militarily, and economically. This is primarily because of the taxes collected from the people and sometimes invasive control of the people. There was probably a select number of Jewish people who had positive connections with the Romans.
What significance did Jesus' death have for the Romans?
If the death of Jesus was at all significant, we could expect there to have been some correspondence or other record kept. No contemporary correspondence or record has ever been found, and it is unlikely that the Romans felt that the death of Jesus was of any importance to them.
What role did Jesus and Paul play in the early history of Christianity?
Apart from their obvious roles as Messiah and Apostle, scholars have long debated the apparent mismatch between the teachings of Jesus and Paul. One normal way of stating it is that Jesus preached about God but Paul preached about Jesus. Or, Jesus announced the kingdom of God and Paul announced the Messiahship of Jesus. Also, Jesus called people to a simple gospel of repentance, belief, and the practice of the Sermon on the Mount while Paul developed a complex theology of justification by faith, something Jesus never mentioned. Some say that Jesus preached a wonderful universal message and that Paul scrunched it back into the small distorting framework of his Jewish, rabbinic mind. Others say that Jesus preached a pure Jewish message and that Paul falsified it by turning it into a Greek, philosophical and even anti-Jewish construct. In defense of Paul here, he thought of it this way: Jesus was the Composer and he was the conductor or Jesus was the Architect and he was the builder. Paul was explicitly honouring Jesus by not saying and doing the same things but by pointing people back to Jesus' own unique achievement.

What were the Romans like?

In Rome what God was worshiped first?
Romans built many temples to their gods and goddesses. Some Romans kept small statues of gods in their houses as well.
Why did the Romans hate the christians?
Emperor Nero blamed the great fire in Rome on the Christians and made Christianity illegal. So Christians were originally hated because the Romans believed their own lies. That continued with lie after lie. We have apologetics which are answers to those lies. The last one was by Origen, "Against Celsum." That destroyed the last of the intellectual opposition to Christianity. and because christians where a diffrent religian to Romans and tryed to spread the word of Jesus Romans tried to stop that and hated Jesus because they thought he minght take over the empire as he clamed to be the moiser

Primarily Aramaic, but some Hebrew and Greek, too.
