History of Christianity

Main Ideas

• The Greek adaptation of the Old Testament is known as the Septuagint.
• Jews Hoped Israel would be the light of the Gentiles.
• Herod was generous to the diaspora Jews.
• Many Jews, namely in Egypt were not Jewish by race, nor full Jews in Religious sense. They were not expected to obey the full law or to be circumsized, these were Known as noachides.

Judaism was spreading rapidly, people saw that Jews worshipped one God. Christianity Capitilized on the good points of Judaism, such as feeding the needy, charity, and detering from things such as stealing all made its image good. Judaism could not become a world religion, it focused on things that made it tribal, like circumcision, and the priests had to come from the tribe of Aaron, temple attendants of Levi, and Kings from the line of David.

Is it safe to say That God manipulated this chance, or is it just how christianity really came to be.

I Believe God was tending this masterpeice the whole time, Christ didn't just come at a foolish hour, God had made the way clear for him and set his path for him ahead of time.
