The founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ, instructed it. He said where two or more are gathered together in his name, he is in the middle of them. Jesus referred to himself as the vine and his followers as the branches of the vine. Jesus said no branch can survive on its own, but must be attached to the vine. That means no Christian can be an island where it's possible to worship in a community of Christians.

What are some of the issues that divided pagan Romans and Christian Romans during the Roman Empire?
Pagan Romans believed that there were many gods, and wanted the Christians to worship or at least recognize Roman gods in their worship as well as the Christian God. The Christians wouldn't do this, because it went against their religion to worship more than one god. The pagans also wanted the Christians to do ritualistic sacrifices to their gods, which the Christians also refused to do, as well as worship the Roman emperor. Not worshipping the Roman gods, not sacrificing to the gods, and not worshipping the emperor were all crimes of law in Rome, and so many Christians were killed for not doing these things. Christians were also accused of cannibalism (this is my body, eat this is remembrance of me...), and not contributing to society/laziness.
