]]> The Beginning Of Christianity https://christiandiscourse.net/index.php?p=/discussion/212/the-beginning-of-christianity Mon, 26 Mar 2018 05:38:33 +0000 Apologetics C Mc 212@/index.php?p=/discussions To understand the Christian-Jewish relationships, it is helpful to review the beginning of Christianity. A number questions need to be answered for starters:
1. Where did Christianity originate (location)?
2. What was the dominant culture and language?
3. What dilemma is Christianity in the relationship with culture? What was the time period of its founder?
4. Was there any conflict between early Christians and Judaism? If so, what were they and why?
5. Was Christianity heavily indebted to Judaism? If so in what way(s)?
6. Why in about AD 57, Christians were reviled, persecuted, defamed, "made as the filth of the world, and ... the offscouring of all things?" CM
