Today we took a test and began reading a new chapter afterwards, here are the notes I took:
- Jesus lived during the period of Jewish conflict up until the destruction of the temple in a.d. 70
- His life was recorded in the gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John
- came not only to deliver the jews, but to fulfill the whole human race
- When he comes again he said he would judge the righteous and the sinners
- Claimed he was both human and divine
- The priests arrested Jesus and had him crucified
- he rose from the dead and sent out his apostles to fulfill his command
- Jesus' followers began to question what they were supposed to be teaching
- Paul of tarsus once was against Jesus and was a persecutor of christians
- later he had a passionate vision and converted
- Some of his letters were written between A.D. 50 and A.D. 60
- Greek was the international language of Jews and gentiles
- Within the first churches their was no structured authority
- held church in homes
- consisted of baptisms and the Eucharist
- The believers of Christ tried to find a way to balance their world with the coming kingdom of heaven
- Paul was most likely beheaded in A.D. 60
- majority of new believers were gentiles
- Divided into the Christians, Jews, and gentiles
- Churches began to appoint bishops and priests to lead teachings and worship
- the laity were the christian community
- clergy were the priests and other chuch leaders
- The writings about Jesus along with Paul's letters became known as the New Testament
