For the same reason Jesus' teaching appeals to anybody, anywhere or any time.
Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the father except through me."
Jesus made it quite clear that He does not merely show the way; He is the way. Salvation is in a Person. Christianity is Christ. Jesus is not just one of many ways. He is the only Way. No one comes to the Father except through Him. The way to God is not by the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, ordinances, church membership-it is through Christ and Christ alone. Today many say that it does not matter what you believe as long as you are sincere. They say that all religions have some good in them and that they all lead to heaven at last. But Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father except through Me."
because it did.
His cult was one of several which promised an afterlife. And it was open to women and even slaves - a bigger audience than the other competing cults of Mithras, Isis etc.
Christians...
disciples
Either they do not trust your message or they do not trust Jesus'.
Jesus influences people's lives through his teachings of love, compassion, forgiveness, and humility. Many individuals find strength and inspiration in his example of selflessness and sacrifice. By following his teachings, believers strive to live a life that reflects the values Jesus embodied.
Christians of ancient times are the same as true Christians now-They are ones who follow the example Christ set, to the best of their ability. (1 Peter 2:21) They adhere to the commands he gave his followers, starting with loving Jehovah God with everything they are as a person (Matthew 22:36-37), and loving one's "neighbor" (a.k.a. mankind in general) as they would themselves. (Matthew 22:39). They also make sure to show love to fellow believers (John 13:35). Another huge distinction is their preaching and teaching others with the aim of making disciples. (Matthew 28:19-20) (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
It move them. Some did not understand or care about him.
There are certainly people in this world who still consider the teachings of Jesus to be important, and there are others who don't. On matters of religion, you get to make your own decisions.
Christian Anarchists follow Jesus' teachings, there are a few others as well but I can't think of them off the top of my head. However, Jesus was not a commander, dictator or strict parent and so did not demand that people "obeyed" him. Rather people chose to follow Jesus if they believed in his teachings.
A:Mentioned only in Acts of the Apostles, Saul is the name of the apostle Paul before his conversion and his first missionary journey. Tarsus is also given in Acts as the home town of Saul. In his own epistles, Paul never mentions having been called Saul, or having come from the city of Tarsus. In spite of this, it is certainly possible that he had been called Saul and that he was from Tarsus. However, we can never be certain whether the author of Acts of the Apostles, writing several decades after the death of Paul, was mistaken in those attributions. Some of the key passages regarding Saul in Acts of the Apostles have parallels to a Saulus whom Josephus mentions in Antiquities of the Jews, with which the author of Acts is known to have been familiar. Josephus even talked of a riot in Jerusalem, led by Saulus after the stoning of James. Although this Saulus could have inspired the author of Acts, he could not really have been the same person as Paul.
Belief in the reality of the resurrection made some people follow the teachings of Jesus, because they assumed that if he really rose from the dead then he must be the Son of God. This belief was apparently not at first widespread, since most people in the Roman Empire declined to become Christians until the time of Emperor Constantine. Even the Jews, who would have known of the reality of the miracles of Jesus, if anyone did, seem to have been largely unmoved by the story of his resurrection.
