The Effects of Christianity Christianity was a new belief that changed many empires. It all started with Jesus. He gained many followers and Christianity became know well. The Romans tolerated most other religions but they did not like this. They tried to prosecute many Christians for their faith. It was made illegal. Christianity spread throughout many empires because it had many followers but it was illegal in the Roman empire. Although Christianity was spreading throughout several empires, the Roman Empire did not like it. They tried to prosecute several of the Christians just for their faith. They were normally tolerant of other religions but not of this one. Christianity was led by Jesus. He has the twelve Apostles who were his closest
Contrary to what Diocletian expected, however, the pagans defended their fellow Romans, leading to a remarkable period of religious unity and acceptance amongst the citizens of the Roman Empire (7-8). To this end, the failure of Diocletian’s Christian persecution was a significant factor leading to the eventual domination of Christianity in western society due to the fact that it precipitated the empire’s growing toleration of Christian

From that point on, Christianity gradually gained acceptance in the Roman Empire and became the dominant religion by the end of the fourth century which caused the relationship between the emperor and the church to significantly shift and change. This is when, by the fourth century AD, the empire had grown too large and complicated for one ruler to govern effectively, so its division was necessary to better manage its
Even though Christians were persecuted on and off during the Roman Empire, Christianity flourished. In the early Roman Empire, when Claudius, Nero, Domitian, and Trajan were emperors, Christianity was banned and Christians were persecuted. Nevertheless, Christians found ways to spread Christianity, and many people converted. As trials occurred and the Empire lost good leaders, the people took security in Christianity and other religions.

In Judea, around 30 A.D., Jesus of Nazareth, a man whom many Jews believed to be the messiah, preached about the gospel. This composed an incipient religion, Christianity. Christianity took hold in the antediluvian world expeditiously. Some reasons that it took hold in the archaic world expeditiously was because it edified about sempiternal life. It additionally took hold because of their notions and their notion that everyone was identically tantamount.
As centuries went on, more Roman emperors began to accept Christianity. Constantine, who incorporated into it several Greek philosophies, finally legalized it in 313 C.E. Christianity also connected the Romans and “barbarians”, leading it to become a highly positive change in the Roman
Christianity is the belief that Jesus Christ died for our sins and God is the creator of life. The Bible belt is located in the south where strict fundamentalist Christians dominate life. Many beliefs of Christianity have been confused or misunderstood in some parts of the bible that they preach over Sundays, Wednesday nights, and even on some occasions Saturdays. Most verses in the bible that have been misunderstood include, gays and lesbians, judgement, love, and overall God. Studying such a powerful book such as “The Bible” would give a person such wisdom and love, but with Religious hate crimes on the rise it almost makes people curious what is being taught in the churches.
The views on Christianity throughout Rome changed immensely from the early years of the empire through the fourth century. For a while, Christians were looked at as a threat to many because of their belief in monotheism. Nero and his followers persecuted and punished the lower class and women who followed Christianity as well as use them as political scapegoats.

The Roman Empire was one of the world's most dominant superpowers at the time. This lasted all the way until the initial rising of Christianity.

Christianity is arguably one of the the most influential and important aspects that originated in western civilization. The religion started out as a small sect of Judaism and a man named Jesus spreading his word with a few followers. For centuries, Christians in Rome endured persecution and secret worship. With the appeal of eternal salvation and the hierarchy of the church, Christianity gradually spread, began to rise, and eventually became the prominent religion in Rome. Today, Christianity is the most widely practiced religion in the world.
While both Islam and Christianity were spread Christianity had more governments in control than Islam. The Christians and Islam each believed that there is only one true God that sends down a messenger
Gibbon also believed that Christianity 's pacifism interfered with the traditional Roman naval spirit. He stated that Christianity destroyed the unity of the Empire believing that the religion only divided the Christians whose continuous battle was over each other’s differences on the doctrine that led to many killings of people. Christianity also replaced Roman’s polytheistic religion and changed their focus away from the honor of the state and into one main deity. Even though the spread of Christianity may have played a small role in Roman’s fall, a lot of historians believe that its influence lost significance as opposed to the military, economic and leadership
Christianity and Judaism are both monotheistic religions that share many similarities. Both religions were found in present day Israel and share a common writing. They shared the same Ten Commandments; Torah for the Jews and the Old Testaments for the Christians. Even though they are common in many different ways, they are also very different. Their marriage rites, rituals and the meaning of life are different.
