Christianity History

 1. How did Romans become Christian?

Rome becomes Christian

In 325, Constantine called the Council of Nicaea, which was a gathering of Christian leaders to determine the formal—or orthodox—beliefs of Christianity. The result of this council was the Nicene Creed, which laid out the agreed upon beliefs of the council.

Emperor Constantine

Constantine made Christianity the main religion of Rome, and created Constantinople, which became the most powerful city in the world. Emperor Constantine (ca A.D. 280– 337) reigned over a major transition in the Roman Empire—and much more.

2. Who was the Jupiter God of Romans before Christianity?

Jupiter was the Roman god of the sky and of thunder. As the chief Roman god, he was the king of a pantheon of dozens of deities, including Neptune, Mars, and Venus. The deity Jupiter was closely connected to the Greek deity Zeus.

3. Who was St Paul?



Paul[a] (also named Saul of Tarsus;[b] c. 5 – c. 64/65 AD), commonly known as Paul the Apostle[7] and Saint Paul,[8] was a Christian apostle who spread the teachings of Jesus in the first-century world.[9] 

HE IS NOT PART OF THE 12 APOSTLES
HE CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY AFTER JESUS DEATH

Rome accepted Christianity in 313 AD, but Paul was decapitated prior to that due to Roman persecution.

Paul was not one of the Twelve Apostles, and did not know Jesus during his lifetime. According to the Acts, Paul lived as a Pharisee and participated in the persecution of early disciples of Jesus, possibly Hellenised diaspora Jews converted to Christianity, in the area of Jerusalem, prior to his conversion.

 In Islam, 
Paul is not part of the followers of Isa. He was an enemy of the prophet until Allah raised him up. Only then he changed his tone and claimed to follow Isa. He made a lot of changes to original teaching of Isa. We muslims count him as a kafir who changed the deen of Allah either intentionally or non intentionally by the tricks of shaitan.

Paul never met Jesus (in Christianity as well as Islam) and changed the message of Jesus. He has no authority in Islam as his vision and reforms goes against what both Jesus and other prophets taught. He is considered a driving force in the corruption of the teachings of Jesus

I have never heard that Paul was ever mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah, but you can deduce from the Bible what an evil person he was.

4. Is the Christianity view "Son of God" a Roman Invention?

Yes.



5. Why did Constantine debate regarding the divinity of Jesus, when he was new to Christianity?


Because Roman beliefs favoured the concept of polytheism, having thousands of Gods -- Pantheon meaning 
all the gods of a people or religion collectively their beliefs, Constantine (27 February c. 272 – 22 May 337) embraced the concept of divinity and was interested in tagging divinity in everything, as he was nurtured and exposed to polytheism since childhood. He was always fond of the idea of "Son of God". The people of Rome had no other option but to believe in the ideas purported caused by him. 

Christianity in its origin projects monotheistic beliefs, but it was changed by Constantine wickedy.

6. What is Pauline Christianity?

Pauline Christianity or Pauline theology (also Paulism or Paulanity), otherwise referred to as Gentile Christianity, is the theology and form of Christianity which developed from the beliefs and doctrines espoused by the Hellenistic-Jewish Apostle Paul through his writings and those New Testament writings traditionally ...

It appears that the centre of Paul's theology is “to preach Christ crucified.” We are called upon to emulate Christ who is the author and finisher of our faith. In his constructive Christology he looked at Jesus as the second and the last Adam who never sinned and cannot sin.

7. Did Jesus sent out 70 apostles, and 12 disciples? 

An apostle is a "messenger" or "one who is sent" while a disciple is a "student" or "learner." Apostles were primarily people who had met and followed Jesus during his life and were called by him to spread the gospel. Disciples were simply any of Jesus' followers who devoted themselves to learning from him.

A major difference between the mission of the seventy and that of the twelve is that in the case of the seventy, Jesus did not discriminate on areas to go into, e.g. Jewish or Gentile territories.

7. Who Wrote Matthew Mark Luke and John?

Who Wrote Matthew, Mark, Luke & John? Opinions vary regarding the authorship of the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Some assert that these were the actual names of the scribes. But most scholars conclude those names are merely placeholding pseudonyms, and the Gospels were written anonymously.1 Mar 2023

In Islam, its generally considered that Matthew, Mark, John have a chance to exist and were disciples of Jesus. 

8. Is Jesus Divine or Not? -- Council Of Nicaea 

17 People Attended the 3rd Council, disappeared within a week, these were the ones who opposed the alterations put forward by Constantine

9. How Many Books in The Bible? 

66 books
The Bible is composed of two major sections, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is made up of 39 individual books; the New Testament is made up of 27 books, giving the Bible a total of 66 books. The Old Testament documents everything from the creation of life up until the birth of Jesus

OUT OF THE 27 BOOKS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, 14 ARE ATTRIBUTED TO SAINT PAUL, WHO NEVER MET JESUS AND CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY AFTER HIS DEATH. 

10. How to Study the Real Christianity? 

The Septuagint, sometimes referred to as the Greek Old Testament or The Translation of the Seventy, and often abbreviated as LXX, is the earliest extant Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible from the original Hebrew. Wikipedia
