*Christianity did not divide the Empire. That is historical fiction. In fact, Christianity was an insignificant underground sect even when the Roman Empire began falling apart. Christians kept to themselves, didn't seek political power & were a single RELIGION among hundreds of religions in Rome.*
It's the equivalent of bad publicity is still publicity. If they didnt do anything, Jesus's small sect will just fade away from history just like any other insignificant faith. But there they go, crucified him and gave him all the publicity a brooding, attention-starved moder day vlogger could ever want.

The men and women who died in the faith in the early days of Christianity are some of the best examples of how a believer should be I've ever seen. Plus the bit about how sometimes the lions would just lie down and not attack strengthens my faith even more in the Lord my God.
As a Christian, i am thankful and proud of the Early Christian martyrs who died for my faith, and were a role model in the faith...God bless all christians ✝️ 🙏...
Contrary to popular belief, that verse in Isaiah is referring to the literal city of New Jerusalem and is a prophetic utterance about how no human will be able to attack her (New Jerusalem is personified as a female all over scripture) because she is the city that God built with His own hands and it’s what we Christian’s will inherit as part of the covenant promises of God when Jesus returns to the earth with her.
"Stand up for what you believe in and fight for it!" is exactly what this documentary said. I am thankful you shared a martyr and I know there was no description of how Christianity started, but I am thankful that this video will lead anyone with curiosity to know not just to "believe and stick with it," but to believe in the truth and die for it. Jesus is alive and will come again soon.
These people found out about a God who was willing to die for a wretched sinner like them. So, these people were not insane, it's the exact opposite, their minds were like how can they even think of denying a love like that. Amazing Grace💖
Jesus is the Son of God, not "God the Son". The "Trinity" was invented hundreds of years after Christ. Study the history, and interpret the Bible for yourself instead of by "church tradition".

Christians who have been martyred or severely persecuted have inspired others to be Christian’s too…this has happened in other countries and over many centuries. No other religion has had this kind of impact on people lives or gives people peace even in the face of trials…or death. I wonder how many Christian’s in the US would be willing to die like this…we haven’t faced this kind of persecution yet: but it’s gonna happen and when it does we will see whose foundation is firmly planted in the Lord and who loves this world and it’s fading pleasures

Paul's letter is basically fake and we already look at the background of what Paul was saying his false belief of Christ or Jesus is laughably not what he is and basically unchristlike since that word has nothing to do with Christianity originally the jesus' religion is just laughably fake once you check it it has no salvation it has damnation and Paul's letters have no power whatsoever they have no meaning only what you and be on to it and never questioned real secret text at this time after and before Christianity started have meaning but this one doesn't Paul's letters like all Christian Bible is false and unspiritual and nothing Christos based at all
Don't lie. Rome saw christianity as a threat because they decline all other gods. See, romans never fought against gallic or anatolian beliefs but they fought jews and christians. Same reason.
It wasn’t just that reason. Christianity contradicted almost every Roman belief and value, politically and religiously. Christians refused to take part in sacrifice and offerings which to the Romans, was important to get the gods on their side. They refused to worship the emperor as a God which would’ve have been a bad look in the eyes of the emperor. Early Christians also refused to take part in the army because of their pacifist beliefs. It was multiple factors. Not just the monotheistic beliefs
Yeah, then they stole the scriptures and gave you the same gods as before with names like lord(baal) and jesus(giizis). Both the same in the end which are idols and sun worship. Then, the wi.cked Pope's son Cesare Borgia died and the ROMAN church made him your god.
Later on yes but earlier on they just saw them as a weird little cult or a weird little movement of a trend like today there's trends and fake beliefs which we've checked now but if they had the same sturdiness that the then Christianity wouldn't have survived. In fact The World God wise we have a truer God belief system and be more god-fearing with several Gods instead of just one lonely fake God and actually polytheism beats monotheism every time God wise because having many all-powerful supreme sources of reality makes more sense than having one loan fake God who is very contradictory and errorful in fact it makes way more sense in his spiritually fulfilling and is perfect people only object to multiple gods because they're not used to it but if they really were really practicing and talk to pagans like us they realize how wrong they are theologically philosophically spiritually etc etc etc even holy text wise because the Bible isn't the only text that has an antiquity well there are other texts after during and before the Bible is even made up or they're fake God was invented in their myths were invented they have the similar almost the same or similar messages of spirituality storytells of people and legends good tales morals sacred texts philosophy influence inspiration etc etc and even more so than the Bible could Bible one out because of conspiracy deception and lies and all those texts either have been hidden away or some of them have been burned and we haven't be able to see him yet since either way in the modern day view all those are gone only a few know about them and we're fighting to turn the whole world back around and get rid of all these Christianity beliefs and Free people
That’s exactly why I believe… why ON EARTH would anyone kill themselves over something that was fake? They wouldn’t.. no one would. The eye witnesses of Jesus are the most significant because they actually saw the truth and died for it. As did so many more that followed. They wouldn’t die for something that wasn’t real

@mihirojha4475 human sacrifice was practiced in many of those pagan societies. No matter how advanced they are, that is completely abhorrent. Look at pre-Christian Rome, for example. Maybe not sacrificed to God or Gods, but they brutally executed people as a spectator sport.
What secular historians can't understand is that the great Christian martyrs do not die 'for something they believe' or because it's 'the best way to spread the message'. We die so that those who kill us can live. So that they can have the opportunity to get to know the true life that we are all supposed to live: the divine life, union with God, deification. For a secular mind only the worldly and material things are accessible when examining the reasons of things. But for us, christians, the ultimate goal of everything has been revealed in the Cross of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Saint Ignatius of Antioch is a great example of this. Like Saint Maximus, the Confessor said almost six centuries after him, those who aprehend the meaning of the Cross get to know the essential principles of this world. If you want to live, pick up your Cross, and follow the Prince of Life to eternal well being.
One of the things that really helped Christianity gain acceptance in the empire was the willingness to stay behind and care for the sick when the plagues happened, such as the Antonine Plague of 165-180. While Roman leaders and politicians fled to their estates, Christians stayed and cared for the sick no matter the risk to themselves.
That was one major reason why Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius passed an edict of tolerance for Christians and other religious minorities in late 160's-170 C.E. when he was busy spending the next decade of his life and reign fighting Germanic Marcomanni incursions into Pannonia (modern-day Hungary, Czech Republic) until his death, presumably from measles (Antonine Plague) in 180 C.E. and his rash, immature, decadent, and idiotic son, Commodus, signed a peace treaty, granting certain Roman lands to Marcomanni who moved in and were emboldened. The Antonine Plague, IMHO, was Europe's first real introduction or kind of a eerie foreshadowing of the later medieval "Black Death" bubonic plagues 1,200 years later. Its been labeled by historians and classicists as ancient world's "Black Death" and in fact, Aurelius' brother and co-regent, Lucius Verus, died in 167-68 C.E. of measles and Aurelius nearly died on campaign in Germania not too long afterwards but was treated by the ancient scientist/physician Galen (who also treated wounded/sick gladiators in Pergamon, and earlier in Rome). Historians have long argued that Commodus reign and the endless chaos, political turmoil, and barbarian invasions that terrorized Rome afterwards until the "Anarchy" period, and while I think it has a lot of merit, even if Commodus had been a better, intelligent ruler or smarter, effective Emperor had reigned instead, I still see Rome experiencing many of the same divisions it went through during the third century C.E. Rome really began its long, centuries-long decline probably towards the end of Hadrian's reign/Antonius Pius rule, as Roman military might/dominance had begun to show its weaknesses and limits due to "imperial over-reach". During Hadrian'a reign, some territories, that Trajan had exhausted very hard to conquer, like Armenia and Mesopotamia, were abandoned and the existing empire was instead dedicated to be re-consolidated. The Roman Age of conquests was over, by the start of Emperor Hadrian and I really think this slowly morphed into a gradually-rotting inertia and then absolute decay.
There's a movie called "Silence," by Scorsese. The movie is about how Imperial Japan had to give up on killing the priest. Instead, the samurai found out that the priest cared more for the lives of other people than the life of their own. So the samurai would torture the new believers infront of them, and they would only stop the torture if they denounced Jesus Christ. It's a really great film regardless of your religious belief, in my opinion.
When Japan becomes a Christian nation, they will be the most loyal to Jesus. That is why Satan has been blinding that nation until now because he knows that when that nation becomes Christian, they will be true warriors and very loyal servants of the Lord. My Korean student shared this perception in class once, and it stuck with me until now. She is right.
It is pretty curious that Ignatius's Christian faith cost him his life at that time, considering that during the reign of Trajan the persecutions against Christians was eliminated after the bloody purges of Domitian (which inspired the creation of "The Book of Revelations"). Said cessation of the persecutions was maintained during the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, but Christianity was prohibited again during the Age of Marcus Aurelius. Anyway, it's pretty ironic that the persecutions against Christians caused their religion to become more and more popular, since the people of the Empire watched with admiration how many condemned to die in the Colosseum by antichrists such as Nero or Decius accepted their fate with great dignity, which only served to convince the inhabitants that it was the best religious way of life that existed, as it had an afterlife worth giving one's life for. Because of this, Christianity was already an unstoppable force during the last great persecution perpetrated by Diocletian
@Rambo Romeo So you know more than 2000years of theology? Before Jesus can return, much prophesies have to happen. Also nearly all of Revelation is prophesy, that happens in future.
Pretty much all of Christianity was spread by violence deception trickery sleight of hand tactics and manipulation never friendship never peace those minor issues really in fact if you check them down are not peaceful at all their sleight of hand tactics just like they do in Africa and many Africans in South Africans and other ones who basically went to Christian actually left it very fast they're not taking off because Christianity not just the kults big also other Christianity wants to keep it's fake image looking shiny and so don't take names off on purpose which even by their own false standards they're admitting their sinning because they're lying they're bearing false witness they're committing evil even against their own false god just like they do against the True God(s) ours they do against their own imaginary false god.

@MohammadAliKhalil did you even watch the video?! People like Ignatius would rather be martyred than to submit to Roman ideology. Let alone allow the romans to change Christianity. That never happened. For hundreds of years Christians were martyred for the faith. Why do you discredit their sacrifices?
Here's a quick quote from one of those 7 letters St Ignatius wrote. "Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
@watermirror well let's see what kind of catholic church St Ignatius believed in. He wrote, " Let us stand aloof from such heretics They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again. The real presence in the eucharist is exactly what our catholic church teaches today. Sounds like one and the same. Do you believe or are you a heretic that St ignatius wrote about?
@@watermirror You are 100% right just look at the Bereans These Bereans exhibited several positive characteristics that marked their response to the gospel message. First and foremost, the Bereans were “more noble” because of their willing reception of the Word of God. Unlike the unbelieving Thessalonian Jews, the Bereans were eager to hear the teaching of Paul and Silas. Second, the Bereans examined what they heard by comparing it to the Old Testament Scriptures. The fact that they honestly listened and conducted further personal research led many Bereans to faith in Jesus as the Messiah. This expansion of Christianity was not limited to those within the synagogue, but also extended to many Greek men and women in Berea. Third, the Bereans guarded Paul’s safety. When Paul’s enemies arrived from nearby Thessalonica, the Berean believers protected Paul by getting him out of the region. They did not turn him over to his enemies or disassociate from him as the Jews from Thessalonica might have expected. Fourth, the Bereans continued to grow in their faith. After Paul’s departure, Silas and Timothy remained in Berea. Why? The Bible does not explicitly say, but one reason was probably to give the Berean Christians a chance to obtain further instruction in the Christian faith. Later in the book of Acts, we are given further insight into the faithfulness of at least one Berean man. When Paul decides to return for additional ministry in Macedonia despite the tremendous persecution he had recently faced, one of the men who chose to accompany him was from Berea: “There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. Sopater the Berean, son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him” (Acts 20:3-4). Sopater, likely a Gentile Christian, continued to assist Paul (and Timothy) in ministry long after Paul’s first visit to Berea. In summary, the Bereans have long been seen as a positive example of how a person or community should respond to biblical teaching. We are called to eagerly learn from God’s Word and, no matter who the teacher is, to investigate new teaching in comparison with the Bible. The practice of the ancient Bereans is a model for all who desire to grow spiritually today.

The first use of the term "Catholic Church" (literally meaning "universal church") was by the church father Saint Ignatius of Antioch (c. 50-140) in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans (circa 110 AD). He died in Rome, with his relics located in the Basilica of San Clemente al Laterano.
Jesus said "you honor ME with your lips but your hearts are far from ME and in vain you worship ME. teaching the traditions of mere men as if they were the commandments of GOD". and sir i mean you absolutely no offense (i was once a roman catholic too) but that is exactly what roman catholicism does. which is why the believe in something thats nowhere in the bible like "purgatory" and they use relics, pray to statues or images even tho the bible strictly forbids this to not even make a statue of GOD nor pray to statue of GOD or Jesus which is in the 10 Commandments. it is sad for me to say this but sadly in roman catholicism they put far more value on the tradition of mere men also called "cannon law" more so than even the bible which is the very WORD OF GOD HIMSELF. but sir, i'm not trying to offend you and i ask you to please forgive me if i have offended you but i just only ask that you would please at least consider to forget about church traditon and just read the bible alone for your answers about GOD, Truth, right and wrong, ect. for if you would do this then i really do believe that then you would know The Truth and The Truth would set you free (just like what happend to me when i left roman catholicism). either way, love you and GOD bless you

Here is scientific proof: In 750AD, a priest experienced a terrible temptation to doubt the True Presence while He was saying Mass. As he pronounced the words of consecration, the host and the wine transformed into what appeared to be flesh and blood. In 1970, more than 1,200 years later, the archbishop of Lanciano, with Rome’s approval, requested a thorough scientific examination of the miraculous relics by Dr. Edward Linoli, director of the hospital at Arezzo and professor of anatomy, histology, chemistry, and clinical microscopy. His report, submitted on March 4, 1971, detailed the following results: The coagulated substance is human blood, AB blood type, with the same protein distribution as found in normal, fresh blood The host is human muscular striated tissue of the myocardium, left ventricle (heart); arteries, veins, branch of vagus nerve, and adipose tissue all can be identified Like the blood, the flesh is also fresh, living tissue, because it “responded rapidly to all the clinical reactions distinctive of living beings” as if the flesh and blood samples had been taken that day Histological tests revealed no sign of preservation techniques of any kind The Miracles in the Age of Science Until the 1990s, Lanciano was the only proven case of the Eucharist turning into human flesh. Other cases have not been tested with modern scientific equipment, nor have the many dozens of bloodstains on corporals and chalices that have been preserved and are venerated as having come from bleeding hosts. But in 1992, the miracles started happening again. 1992 and 1996, Buenos Aires, Argentina: In 1992, consecrated particles left on the corporal were put into water to dissolve and locked in the tabernacle, as the Church prescribes for disposing of consecrated hosts. One week later, they had changed into a red substance. Then again in 1996 after a consecrated host fell to the ground and was also put in water to dissolve, it was found a few days later to have turned into a bloody substance. Both cases were sent to be tested by the archbishop of Buenos Aires, who was none other than our future Pope Francis. 2006, Tixtla, Mexico: During a retreat, a religious sister who was distributing Communion looked down and noticed that one of the Hosts had begun to bleed and transform. 2008, Sokolka, Poland: A consecrated Host fell to the ground during Communion and was put in water and locked in a tabernacle to dissolve. A week later, most of the Host was dissolved except for a red “clot” that remained. 2013, Legnica, Poland: A consecrated Host fell and was put in water and locked in a tabernacle. Two weeks later a red spot covered one-fifth of the undissolved Host. Startling Scientific Results Each of these occurrences received intensive study with highly advanced technology. In several cases, doctors did not know the source of the material. And yet, in all the cases, the same results were found, and are consistent with the results of Lanciano, providing even more details due to more advanced science: The blood is human, AB blood type; human DNA was found; white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, and mycrophages were present, indicating fresh blood; in the Tixtla miracle, the blood clearly emanated from within, because the blood on the surface had begun to coagulate but the interior blood was still fresh, as with a bleeding wound The flesh is human myocardium tissue of the left ventricle of an inflamed heart; in the miracles from Argentina and Poland, there was evidence of trauma from the presence of thrombi, indicating repeated lack of oxygen; lesions present showed rapid cardiac spasms typical in the final phases of death In the Sokolka miracle, the remaining host is tightly interconnected with the fibers of human tissue, penetrating each other inseparably - as if the bread were transforming into flesh. “Even NASA scientists, who have at their disposal the most modern analytical techniques, would not be able to artificially recreate such a thing,” affirmed Dr. Sobaniec-Lotowska, one of the examining experts. Dr. Frederick Zugibe, a forensic doctor at Columbia University who examined the Argentinian miracle, did not know the source of the sample and told the doctor who brought it to him, “If white blood cells were present (in the heart tissue), it is because at the moment you brought me the sample, it was pulsating.” When he learned the source of the sample, he was shocked and deeply moved.

They give frequent newsletters and online updates about the lives and families of those who in our day give their lives for the Good News of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. They’ve been personally encouraging to me in my faith for a long time. I pray that God crafts in me a faithful and dedicated heart like those of the martyrs. ✝️
My dear Jesus, my Savior, is so deeply written in my heart, that i feel confident, that if my heart were to be cut open and chopped to pieces, the name of Jesus would be found written on every piece. _ Al-Qiddis Ignatius Al-Antaki ( St. Ignatius of Antioch )
Thank you for this video it is an astounding realization of what these Christians went through in the Dark Ages I gave this a thumbs up for telling me the story of Ignatius a great man thank you again
@@pcdoctor2003 the thing is in these times people refer to other points in history as the dark ages. not this when romans where at the height of theyr power.
This was the classical age, often called the Pax Romana, the Dark Ages generally refers to the period after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 however it is largely fallen out of use with most modern historians and more aptly referred to as the "Middle Ages." If there was ever a Dark Age, it was more likely the Bronze Age collapse more than 1,000 years earlier.
No it was more like a crazy death cult it was just seen as rebellious air full and blasphemous as they were and they still are today even by Christians themselves they admit that their own false beliefs are a threat to their own
As a Christian, i am thankful and proud of the Early Christian martyrs who died for my faith, and were a role model in the faith...God bless all christians
Anytime someone tries to discredit Christianity it's worth noting that Paul the Apostle lived a Comfortable life as a Pharisee he didn't need to convert and become hated and despised/persecuted but him like Ignatius love Jesus and truly believed in what they were risking their life for.

God is so brilliant. He knows man's heart. The ones in charge think that if we kill them, they'll be scared and stop. But God says, if you kill them, it will only inspire others and I will light that spark in them.
To be willing to die for something you believe in... Your life as a offering, so that others would live and be saved. That is Christ. That is the Lord.

No offense brother, but you should ask God what name he has for you. He might have a special name for you and it might not be this one. Our plans sometimes aren’t his plans. All with love
Well like Jesus once said Faith without Good Works is dead. You don’t need to be overly religious to speak your mind, defend and care for others, and to die for what you believe in.
Exactly in the same way the modern world thinks that suppressing the gospel and Christians would stop from spreading the gospel, I wish they had known that it would only create a reverse effect. They can't stop the spirit of God, who is on the move to bring thousands of lost souls to his kingdom. May we get the courage to hold unto our faith.
Don't confused conflicts between opposing religious belief systems and their adherents who take up the literal sword against one another in bloody wars with those believers whose faith imitates early Christians. They refused then and now to mix the true teachings of Christ with secularism and false teachings. That faith still can be found among believers today who imitate the early Christians. And their heart felt inspiring examples of faith and courage is still ongoing.
❤️Jesus summed it up in one verse, John 14:6 - “I Am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE. No one comes to the father except through ME” Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, *The LORD commands everyone everywhere to Repent and believe in the LORD Jesus and you shall be saved. You and your household. For the Kingdom of God is at hand!* 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;❤️
In the Christian side of things, a martyrs death for the Lord is a happy ending in a sense, especially the attitude of St. Ignatius wanting to die to set an example of how a Christian is to die.
Many of them simply just saw past this physical realm. Death was a doorway to a better realm. Like Jesus said to the thief on the cross "today you shall be with Me in Paradise."
Christians: "We only want a World in which Christ's justice and love rule all of us" Emperors Nero, Domitian, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus, Thrax, Decius, Gallus, Valerian and Diocletian: "And we took that personally..."
Well Romans believed every religionn's god was as real as their own,+ the fact there were men who had their cults such as quite a lot of people e.g believed Julius Ceaser was a god and Christianity comes and says all those Gods are false and Jesus is the son of God, This is fundamentally against Roman values One of the main ways Roman United their Empire was ensuring all Gods are treated well , so their respective followers don't rebel but here you have a group committing treason (not acknowledging that the Emperor is divine) and saying all other Gods are false Christianity was definitely a threat to the emperors then as this might encourage other religions to follow their path and falsify other religions except their own

Don't lie. Rome saw christianity as a threat because they decline all other gods. See, romans never fought against gallic or anatolian beliefs but they fought jews and christians. Same reason.
It wasn’t just that reason.
Christianity contradicted almost every Roman belief and value, politically and religiously.
Christians refused to take part in sacrifice and offerings which to the Romans, was important to get the gods on their side.
They refused to worship the emperor as a God which would’ve have been a bad look in the eyes of the emperor. Early Christians also refused to take part in the army because of their pacifist beliefs.
It was multiple factors. Not just the monotheistic beliefs
Yeah, then they stole the scriptures and gave you the same gods as before with names like lord(baal) and jesus(giizis).
Both the same in the end which are idols and sun worship.
Then, the wi.cked Pope's son Cesare Borgia died and the ROMAN church made him your god.
Wow Paganism still thriving in Europe 😆
Pagans and idol-worshipers are the worst of mankind
Later on yes but earlier on they just saw them as a weird little cult or a weird little movement of a trend like today there's trends and fake beliefs which we've checked now but if they had the same sturdiness that the then Christianity wouldn't have survived. In fact The World God wise we have a truer God belief system and be more god-fearing with several Gods instead of just one lonely fake God and actually polytheism beats monotheism every time God wise because having many all-powerful supreme sources of reality makes more sense than having one loan fake God who is very contradictory and errorful in fact it makes way more sense in his spiritually fulfilling and is perfect people only object to multiple gods because they're not used to it but if they really were really practicing and talk to pagans like us they realize how wrong they are theologically philosophically spiritually etc etc etc even holy text wise because the Bible isn't the only text that has an antiquity well there are other texts after during and before the Bible is even made up or they're fake God was invented in their myths were invented they have the similar almost the same or similar messages of spirituality storytells of people and legends good tales morals sacred texts philosophy influence inspiration etc etc and even more so than the Bible could Bible one out because of conspiracy deception and lies and all those texts either have been hidden away or some of them have been burned and we haven't be able to see him yet since either way in the modern day view all those are gone only a few know about them and we're fighting to turn the whole world back around and get rid of all these Christianity beliefs and Free people
That’s exactly why I believe… why ON EARTH would anyone kill themselves over something that was fake? They wouldn’t.. no one would. The eye witnesses of Jesus are the most significant because they actually saw the truth and died for it. As did so many more that followed. They wouldn’t die for something that wasn’t real

What secular historians can't understand is that the great Christian martyrs do not die 'for something they believe' or because it's 'the best way to spread the message'.
We die so that those who kill us can live. So that they can have the opportunity to get to know the true life that we are all supposed to live: the divine life, union with God, deification.
For a secular mind only the worldly and material things are accessible when examining the reasons of things. But for us, christians, the ultimate goal of everything has been revealed in the Cross of our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Saint Ignatius of Antioch is a great example of this.
Like Saint Maximus, the Confessor said almost six centuries after him, those who aprehend the meaning of the Cross get to know the essential principles of this world.
If you want to live, pick up your Cross, and follow the Prince of Life to eternal well being.

One of the things that really helped Christianity gain acceptance in the empire was the willingness to stay behind and care for the sick when the plagues happened, such as the Antonine Plague of 165-180.
While Roman leaders and politicians fled to their estates, Christians stayed and cared for the sick no matter the risk to themselves.
Compassion
That was one major reason why Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius passed an edict of tolerance for Christians and other religious minorities in late 160's-170 C.E. when he was busy spending the next decade of his life and reign fighting Germanic Marcomanni incursions into Pannonia (modern-day Hungary, Czech Republic) until his death, presumably from measles (Antonine Plague) in 180 C.E. and his rash, immature, decadent, and idiotic son, Commodus, signed a peace treaty, granting certain Roman lands to Marcomanni who moved in and were emboldened.
The Antonine Plague, IMHO, was Europe's first real introduction or kind of a eerie foreshadowing of the later medieval "Black Death" bubonic plagues 1,200 years later. Its been labeled by historians and classicists as ancient world's "Black Death" and in fact, Aurelius' brother and co-regent, Lucius Verus, died in 167-68 C.E. of measles and Aurelius nearly died on campaign in Germania not too long afterwards but was treated by the ancient scientist/physician Galen (who also treated wounded/sick gladiators in Pergamon, and earlier in Rome).
Historians have long argued that Commodus reign and the endless chaos, political turmoil, and barbarian invasions that terrorized Rome afterwards until the "Anarchy" period, and while I think it has a lot of merit, even if Commodus had been a better, intelligent ruler or smarter, effective Emperor had reigned instead, I still see Rome experiencing many of the same divisions it went through during the third century C.E. Rome really began its long, centuries-long decline probably towards the end of Hadrian's reign/Antonius Pius rule, as Roman military might/dominance had begun to show its weaknesses and limits due to "imperial over-reach". During Hadrian'a reign, some territories, that Trajan had exhausted very hard to conquer, like Armenia and Mesopotamia, were abandoned and the existing empire was instead dedicated to be re-consolidated.
The Roman Age of conquests was over, by the start of Emperor Hadrian and I really think this slowly morphed into a gradually-rotting inertia and then absolute decay.

When Japan becomes a Christian nation, they will be the most loyal to Jesus.

My Korean student shared this perception in class once, and it stuck with me until now. She is right.
It is pretty curious that Ignatius's Christian faith cost him his life at that time, considering that during the reign of Trajan the persecutions against Christians was eliminated after the bloody purges of Domitian (which inspired the creation of "The Book of Revelations"). Said cessation of the persecutions was maintained during the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, but Christianity was prohibited again during the Age of Marcus Aurelius. Anyway, it's pretty ironic that the persecutions against Christians caused their religion to become more and more popular, since the people of the Empire watched with admiration how many condemned to die in the Colosseum by antichrists such as Nero or Decius accepted their fate with great dignity, which only served to convince the inhabitants that it was the best religious way of life that existed, as it had an afterlife worth giving one's life for. Because of this, Christianity was already an unstoppable force during the last great persecution perpetrated by Diocletian

Here's a quick quote from one of those 7 letters St Ignatius wrote. "Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
The Roman Catholic Church that we know of wasn't born yet at that time
@watermirror well let's see what kind of catholic church St Ignatius believed in. He wrote, " Let us stand aloof from such heretics
They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again.
The real presence in the eucharist is exactly what our catholic church teaches today. Sounds like one and the same. Do you believe or are you a heretic that St ignatius wrote about?
@@watermirror You are 100% right just look at the Bereans These Bereans exhibited several positive characteristics that marked their response to the gospel message. First and foremost, the Bereans were “more noble” because of their willing reception of the Word of God. Unlike the unbelieving Thessalonian Jews, the Bereans were eager to hear the teaching of Paul and Silas.
Second, the Bereans examined what they heard by comparing it to the Old Testament Scriptures. The fact that they honestly listened and conducted further personal research led many Bereans to faith in Jesus as the Messiah. This expansion of Christianity was not limited to those within the synagogue, but also extended to many Greek men and women in Berea.
Third, the Bereans guarded Paul’s safety. When Paul’s enemies arrived from nearby Thessalonica, the Berean believers protected Paul by getting him out of the region. They did not turn him over to his enemies or disassociate from him as the Jews from Thessalonica might have expected.
Fourth, the Bereans continued to grow in their faith. After Paul’s departure, Silas and Timothy remained in Berea. Why? The Bible does not explicitly say, but one reason was probably to give the Berean Christians a chance to obtain further instruction in the Christian faith.
Later in the book of Acts, we are given further insight into the faithfulness of at least one Berean man. When Paul decides to return for additional ministry in Macedonia despite the tremendous persecution he had recently faced, one of the men who chose to accompany him was from Berea: “There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. Sopater the Berean, son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him” (Acts 20:3-4). Sopater, likely a Gentile Christian, continued to assist Paul (and Timothy) in ministry long after Paul’s first visit to Berea.
In summary, the Bereans have long been seen as a positive example of how a person or community should respond to biblical teaching. We are called to eagerly learn from God’s Word and, no matter who the teacher is, to investigate new teaching in comparison with the Bible. The practice of the ancient Bereans is a model for all who desire to grow spiritually today.
@@DUZCO10 These Bereans exhibited several positive characteristics that marked their response to the gospel message. First and foremost, the Bereans were “more noble” because of their willing reception of the Word of God. Unlike the unbelieving Thessalonian Jews, the Bereans were eager to hear the teaching of Paul and Silas.
Second, the Bereans examined what they heard by comparing it to the Old Testament Scriptures. The fact that they honestly listened and conducted further personal research led many Bereans to faith in Jesus as the Messiah. This expansion of Christianity was not limited to those within the synagogue, but also extended to many Greek men and women in Berea.

@@love16339Bruh, the Abrahamic religion you are talking about was based on the Mosaic Law. Christianity in its essence is based on the law and teachings of Jesus Christ(Triune God), that's some of the basic differences between Judaism and Christianity. I do agree that the Europeans portrayed Jesus in their own image like in their drawings and statues but how does changing the skin tone or facial features affect the culture or nature of the religion. In fact, some of the practices and teachings mentioned in the bible didn't even exist in other parts of Europe. So your logic is completely devoid of sense.

The first use of the term "Catholic Church" (literally meaning "universal church") was by the church father Saint Ignatius of Antioch (c. 50-140) in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans (circa 110 AD). He died in Rome, with his relics located in the Basilica of San Clemente al Laterano.

Jesus said "you honor ME with your lips but your hearts are far from ME and in vain you worship ME. teaching the traditions of mere men as if they were the commandments of GOD". and sir i mean you absolutely no offense (i was once a roman catholic too) but that is exactly what roman catholicism does. which is why the believe in something thats nowhere in the bible like "purgatory" and they use relics, pray to statues or images even tho the bible strictly forbids this to not even make a statue of GOD nor pray to statue of GOD or Jesus which is in the 10 Commandments. it is sad for me to say this but sadly in roman catholicism they put far more value on the tradition of mere men also called "cannon law" more so than even the bible which is the very WORD OF GOD HIMSELF. but sir, i'm not trying to offend you and i ask you to please forgive me if i have offended you but i just only ask that you would please at least consider to forget about church traditon and just read the bible alone for your answers about GOD, Truth, right and wrong, ect. for if you would do this then i really do believe that then you would know The Truth and The Truth would set you free (just like what happend to me when i left roman catholicism). either way, love you and GOD bless you

[Jesus said],
*“And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”*
Qur’an (19:36)
God's message to Christians & Jews,
*O People of the Book! Now Our Messenger(Prophet Muhammad) has come to you, revealing much of what you have hidden of the Scriptures and disregarding much. There certainly has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book(Qur'an)* *through which Allah guides those who seek His pleasure to the ways of peace, brings them out of darkness and into light by His Will, and guides them to the Straight Path.*
Qur'an 5 (15:16)
God's message to Christians & Jews,
*O People of the Book! Our Messenger has indeed come to you, making things clear to you after an interval between the messengers so you do not say, “There has never come to us a deliverer of good news or a warner.” Now there has come to you a deliverer of good news and a warner. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.*
Qur'an (5:19)
Here is scientific proof:
In 750AD, a priest experienced a terrible temptation to doubt the True Presence while He was saying Mass. As he pronounced the words of consecration, the host and the wine transformed into what appeared to be flesh and blood.
In 1970, more than 1,200 years later, the archbishop of Lanciano, with Rome’s approval, requested a thorough scientific examination of the miraculous relics by Dr. Edward Linoli, director of the hospital at Arezzo and professor of anatomy, histology, chemistry, and clinical microscopy. His report, submitted on March 4, 1971, detailed the following results:
The coagulated substance is human blood, AB blood type, with the same protein distribution as found in normal, fresh blood
The host is human muscular striated tissue of the myocardium, left ventricle (heart); arteries, veins, branch of vagus nerve, and adipose tissue all can be identified
Like the blood, the flesh is also fresh, living tissue, because it “responded rapidly to all the clinical reactions distinctive of living beings” as if the flesh and blood samples had been taken that day
Histological tests revealed no sign of preservation techniques of any kind
The Miracles in the Age of Science
Until the 1990s, Lanciano was the only proven case of the Eucharist turning into human flesh. Other cases have not been tested with modern scientific equipment, nor have the many dozens of bloodstains on corporals and chalices that have been preserved and are venerated as having come from bleeding hosts. But in 1992, the miracles started happening again.
1992 and 1996, Buenos Aires, Argentina: In 1992, consecrated particles left on the corporal were put into water to dissolve and locked in the tabernacle, as the Church prescribes for disposing of consecrated hosts. One week later, they had changed into a red substance. Then again in 1996 after a consecrated host fell to the ground and was also put in water to dissolve, it was found a few days later to have turned into a bloody substance. Both cases were sent to be tested by the archbishop of Buenos Aires, who was none other than our future Pope Francis.
2006, Tixtla, Mexico: During a retreat, a religious sister who was distributing Communion looked down and noticed that one of the Hosts had begun to bleed and transform.
2008, Sokolka, Poland: A consecrated Host fell to the ground during Communion and was put in water and locked in a tabernacle to dissolve. A week later, most of the Host was dissolved except for a red “clot” that remained.
2013, Legnica, Poland: A consecrated Host fell and was put in water and locked in a tabernacle. Two weeks later a red spot covered one-fifth of the undissolved Host.
Startling Scientific Results
Each of these occurrences received intensive study with highly advanced technology. In several cases, doctors did not know the source of the material. And yet, in all the cases, the same results were found, and are consistent with the results of Lanciano, providing even more details due to more advanced science:
The blood is human, AB blood type; human DNA was found; white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, and mycrophages were present, indicating fresh blood; in the Tixtla miracle, the blood clearly emanated from within, because the blood on the surface had begun to coagulate but the interior blood was still fresh, as with a bleeding wound
The flesh is human myocardium tissue of the left ventricle of an inflamed heart; in the miracles from Argentina and Poland, there was evidence of trauma from the presence of thrombi, indicating repeated lack of oxygen; lesions present showed rapid cardiac spasms typical in the final phases of death
In the Sokolka miracle, the remaining host is tightly interconnected with the fibers of human tissue, penetrating each other inseparably - as if the bread were transforming into flesh. “Even NASA scientists, who have at their disposal the most modern analytical techniques, would not be able to artificially recreate such a thing,” affirmed Dr. Sobaniec-Lotowska, one of the examining experts.
Dr. Frederick Zugibe, a forensic doctor at Columbia University who examined the Argentinian miracle, did not know the source of the sample and told the doctor who brought it to him, “If white blood cells were present (in the heart tissue), it is because at the moment you brought me the sample, it was pulsating.” When he learned the source of the sample, he was shocked and deeply moved.

This was the classical age, often called the Pax Romana, the Dark Ages generally refers to the period after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 however it is largely fallen out of use with most modern historians and more aptly referred to as the "Middle Ages." If there was ever a Dark Age, it was more likely the Bronze Age collapse more than 1,000 years earlier.

Don't confused conflicts between opposing religious belief systems and their adherents who take up the literal sword against one another in bloody wars with those believers whose faith imitates early Christians. They refused then and now to mix the true teachings of Christ with secularism and false teachings.
That faith still can be found among believers today who imitate the early Christians. And their heart felt inspiring examples of faith and courage is still ongoing.

*The LORD commands everyone everywhere to Repent and believe in the LORD Jesus and you shall be saved. You and your household. For the Kingdom of God is at hand!*
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

Well Romans believed every religionn's god was as real as their own,+ the fact there were men who had their cults such as quite a lot of people e.g believed Julius Ceaser was a god and Christianity comes and says all those Gods are false and Jesus is the son of God, This is fundamentally against Roman values
One of the main ways Roman United their Empire was ensuring all Gods are treated well , so their respective followers don't rebel but here you have a group committing treason (not acknowledging that the Emperor is divine) and saying all other Gods are false
Christianity was definitely a threat to the emperors then as this might encourage other religions to follow their path and falsify other religions except their own
