"The age of martyrs also produced a great number of writers who wrote about Christianity and what they believe in order to dispel some of the myths about Christians (some said they were cannibals because they ate the “body and blood”) These writers became known as “The Apologists” and they were able to help clarify Christian theology to the pagans, leaving us with some of the greatest explanations of the Christian faith."\n\n\nWhat you teacher tells you is true.  Christians were deemed to be cannibals because of the whole blood host thing with communion and they were martyred by mass murders.\n\nThis is an important lesson in not taking the time to really learn about something and just assuming that rumors are true - like what you hear on TV - \n\nBig spin off in the Catholic religion when King Henry VIII of England wanted to divorce his wife and the Pope said NO.  So, Henry got out of the Catholic religion, made himself the King of Religion in his country and tried to make all the Catholics in England convert to the Church of England - a lot of people were murdered for not changing over as it was deemed treacherous not to obey Henry.\n\nThe irony of the whole protestant England thing was that in Germany a monk name Martin Luther was trying to lead reforms in the Catholic Church too.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther\n\nIt is a strange thing that ofter two or more people will arrive at the same idea in different ways by different methods but almost simultaneously\n\nNow we have Protestants because a man wanted a divorce - which would have been better because Henry usually cut off their heads after that and his first wife was, in a way lucky to have got away with her head.\n\nYou have a very good teacher

If you use the bible as your history book. Otherwise there's just speculation of what could have happened 2000 years ago.

the late 1500's would be 1550-1599 right?

At least 2000 years. Christianity is not yet civilized in that length of time.

Before Christ and Anno Domini\n\nA sidenote: in this politically correct age, people are starting to use BCE and CE, for (Before) Common Era, to mean the same things, just so that no non-Christians get offended. Ironically enough, it seems the only people who are forever insisting on using (B)CE are Christians themselves - I've never heard of any other religion getting offended by BC/AD.

your joking right?\n\n\nslavery was quite common in the world in places that had no knowledge of the Bible\n\nJust look and Greek and Roman society. More than half were slaves and serfs and only a small minority were citizens.

yeah i'm kinda with her opinion, 0 isn't a significant digit therefore the only other possible time period in which the birth of the anti-christ could've been(assuming it was 666) would be \njune 6, 6 A.D. \nor\njune 6, 6 B.C.

Fools of faith.  I always enjoy asking devout Christians if they believe in dinosaurs.  When they say yes I ask them how long ago they lived.  When they say millions of years ago I ask them how that could be when the Bible says the Earth is only 6000 years old!  It's funny watching them try to squirm their way outta that one.

Early christians considered themselves Jews and thus most certainly worshiped on Saturday.  It wasn't until Paul came along that they started to re-think the law of Moses.   Early christian leaders prayed in the Jewish temples (see Acts), but of course, they were not so welcome.   Being thrown out of temples and the influence of Paul was probably the major reason they began to think of themselves as a different religion.\n\nSo while the change to Sunday happened very early in the church (probably in the first generation) it was not immediately after the death of Christ.

Two of the most meticulous record keepers of Ancient Times were the Romans and the Jews, and as you rightly point out, the events recorded in the Bible somehow seemed to escape their notice.  Pontius Pilate's court records still exist, and there is no mention of the trial of Jesus or of the supposed custom of allowing the crowd to free a prisoner.  It is a tradition among the Egyptian Coptic's that their Church was founded by the Apostle Mark, in 42 ad, certainly the first major Christian Chatecal School was in Alexandria, but not until 190, so there could have been several generations worth of revisions.  Hadn't heard that one about about the Sun metaphor, Jesus didn't even get a nimbus in religious art until the 5th century, and then it was part of political deal the Emperor was cutting, The three main religions in Rome at the time were Christianity, the scribes and record keepers, Mithra ism, the army, and Sol Invites (the Unconquerable Sun), the wealthy landowners.  He couldn't afford to make any of them mad, so he declared Mithra and Jesus were two names for the same being, and that YHWH was another name for Sol Invictus.  That is why the rays of the Sun became a Christian symbol of holiness.  The Bible, in it's current form, only dates back to the Vulgate, which was completed in 405.  Personally, I think we should go back to traditional values, this new fangled Christianity stuff just ain't working out.

According to my source (below): " In 325 A.D., the church declared that Easter was to “be on the Sunday that followed the first full moon after the spring equinox."
