  • When the emperor Claudius reigned over Rome, the Christian church experienced some of its most important developments with respect to its early growth. The journeys of the Apostle Paul and the Council of Jerusalem combined to translate the Christian gospel into a message for all people, rather than a belief limited to the Jewish nation.

    this method to have a small window with the teacher explaining the lecture - inside the screen of the video - and the main names and details written on the big blue screen is fantastic because while you listen to the explanation of the teacher - you keep looking at what it´s written on the big bkue screen and we learn and know by heart everything is explained - fantastic method- even for me at 75 years old - the diction and English speech is so excellent that even being a portuguse native language person l am able to understand -thank you so much for existing on youtube-

      "15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
      15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
      15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
      15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
      "1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
      1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
      1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
      1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:6-9.

    To say Julius Caesar didn’t want to mess with the Britons is misleading, he defeated them in battle. Claudius did not lead the initial offensives in Britain, he sent Aulus Plautius to lead the legions, Claudius showed up later with reinforcements. The Romans gave up control of Britain in 410 not 476.

    Another question from me! : talking about christian morals: how much authority over peoples beliefs would/do apostles hold? If Jesus chose them to argue for him in areas he was silent, then wouldnt everything they say be right? what if they disagree on a subject? These questions really grate at me sometimes. I know in Islam there is a guideline of how these things are followed post mohhammed.

    • @GoreBruce
      @GoreBruce  9 лет назад +3

      AmidalaEmma Classical Christian understanding affirms that the apostles speak with the authority of Christ. He commissioned them with the formula, 'he who hears you hears me.' The apostolic instruction is contained in the writings that were either produced by apostles or sanctioned by apostles, which are found in the canonical scriptures. The apostles certainly reflect varying emphases on subjects, but the Christian tradition has firmly maintained that they do not actually contradict one another.

    @patrickneary8446 6 лет назад +1

    Seems like there was a strong political reason to claim a rejection of the groups at war with the Roman armies, even if they circulated a text that was a roundabout fantasy of the defeat of those armies. Was there much debate if Christians were separate enough from Jews to be subject to the Roman Expulsion of 40ce? Or, of the various diaspora taxes and persecutions following the civil war? It could be like if the Mormon Church, based out of Utah, went to war(over taxes, but claiming religious persecution) with the American Empire. You might see a rise in debate if Branch Davidians(the cult that also has gripes with the American Empire, but somehow able to exist and thrive with Mormon converts) could have "holy underwear", like the New Testament debates over circumcision.

      It is likely Christianity at that time would have had no distinction from Judaism from the perspective of a Greco/Roman pagan.

      Julius was certainly Caesar and, in his later years, the autocrat of Rome, he even wanted to be monarch, and the history from Pharsalus to Actium is muddled anyhow about how the future of Rome would look like. I wouldn't put too much weight on words.

      @@eriksoley6774 - you bring up an important point for considering an Emperor: is the post inheritable?
      First, not all emperors in history were inheritable. Some, like the Holy Roman Emperor, were elected.
      Second, who followed Julius Caesar? It was his grand nephew and heir, Octavian, but it was only after more years of Civil War. Later successions were more peaceful, but not all of them.
      Who followed Octavian? Not his own child, because he had no surviving child, but his heir Tiberius. Even later, successors were sometimes picked from a variety of candidates, especially if there was no adult son of the Emperor. E.g. Claudius was picked by the Praetorians.
      While it is clear that there was no accepted inheritence of the dictator title from Caesar to Octavian, it took longer for the Romans to leave their rejection of the monarchy behind and accept an inherited monarchy as their form of government. No single event or year seems suitable to me as THE START of inheritable monarchy in the Romen Empire.
