The rise of Christianity during the Roman time was owed to all kinds of events and people. The Romans had conquered Judah and the Jews around 63 B.C. Jesus Christ, also known as the Messiah, was a savior believed to come to restore the kingdom of the Jews. Jesus didn’t begin teaching his beliefs when he was a child, in fact he started when he was about 30 years old. Jesus’ teachings are known as Christianity. His teachings were to love everyone, including your enemies, hoping that they would be loved by God and to pray for them so God would forgive them. Jesus believed that there was only one God that controlled everything. His teachings included rules about respect for others and Gods Laws, called the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments told people not to steal, not to kill, or do things that hurt others. In fact, some of the Ten Commandments were parts of Hammurabi’s Code, which made them very familiar to His followers. He taught that God cared for each human as a friend and that each was as special as the other. This meant that slaves and their masters were equal to each other in the eyes of God. Jesus taught that God was an element that you could actually talk to without making a sacrifice in a Temple. You could pray or wish without a sacrifice, and you could do it anywhere. Jesus told that God promised an afterlife, known as Heaven, for people that followed God’s will and asked for forgiveness from God for all their sins. Christianity’s spread also owed to the twelve followers of Jesus, called disciples, or Apostles, who spread the word of Jesus Christ all over the nation. Jesus proved to many observers that he was the Messiah. The proof was the miracles that he did, like multiplying the bread and fish, and walking on water. Another reason that Christianity spread was that the poor were not judged by their wealth. The poor and the rich were blessed all the same.
