Today we took notes on Christianity during the Pax Romana. People first thought it was a cult because they were teaching all new things. Jesus was a preacher in Judea and he was different from the rest of the "messiahs" because he taught to strive for perfection. The people believed Jesus came to end the world and take everyone into the kingdom of heaven. Jesus was seen as a threat to the Romans and they crucified him. Paul of Tarsus was a man who persecuted Christians. He fell off his horse and was blinded and saw Jesus and then believed and spread the good news to all parts of the world. He founded churches and wrote letters.
