How did Christianity go from a small Judean messianic sect to the official religion of the Roman Empire in just three centuries?

"Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed."

From 100 to millions in just 200 years at a time without the internet or anything damn that’s impressive.

If I could bring me in it can bring anyone. I've never been joiner and most always a loner but when He finds you all doubts will leave you and it'll be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Love being apart of one of the only religions that has spread through peace(in the beginning) while being persecuted with people who gained nothing by converting it's the truth Amen <3

What’s interesting is that pretty much all monotheistic religions originated from the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten’s religion of Atenism in the 14th century BC. He abolished the polytheistic system and ruled for 17 years until the people revolted and the polytheistic system was brought back. One of his children became King Tutankhamen (King Tut) the Pharaoh interestingly enough. However during his reign he had 300 people go through his Mystery School. These 300 people went beyond Egypt following his reign to form the Essene Brotherhood in what is now Israel/Palestine which led to the monotheism we see in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and more. Greek and Jewish/Essene culture met up in Alexandria not long after the death of Jesus Christ to form the basis of Christianity, which soon became the center of Christianity as it spread to Constantinople, Rome, Armenia, and beyond before becoming the official religion of the Roman Empire in 312 AD.

And the start of the end of the western Roman empire.

None of which proves anything another religions validity. Being popular isn't proof of rightness.

I don't understand the first point. Didn't the roman empire compell worship of Pagan gods? That is effectively evangelism, just with force.

[ianeons]

Islam spread extremely fast too. From just a few hundred people to an entire empire in like a decade.

[kipincharge]

it spread because of the Christ teaching to share the wealth

and the false prophets corrupted the teachings

we know them by their deeds

[antoniosolis]

I know there is a god. I’m not gonna pretend like I know how to call him I’m sure as long as we have good intentions in our heart we’re good. all I know is that god will come. And we are all a big family and earth is our home. We should unite and fight the evil with love it’s the only way. Let’s stop all of this labeling and pretending like we know better than others we know what’s right and what’s wrong and if you don’t, pray for guidance and love

They just destroyed the ancient world and force them all to commit their beliefs.

Actually, shouldn’t exclusivity make it harder to spread instead of helping it spread faster? If the religion was not exclusive, people could find it easier to pick up the religion because they didn’t have to make as much changes to their current life.

4. They have charities. When the plague entered the empire, the pagan priests stay inside their palace, while Christians go out helping the sick (regardless of their faiths). The people who got sick, instead of lying in the road dying, they got nurtured, they were guven foods and actually had a chance of survival.

The apostate emperor Julian the apostate even said this:
"The Christian faith has been specially advanced through the loving service rendered to strangers, and through their care for the burial of the dead. It is a scandal that there is not a single Jew who is a beggar, and that the godless Galileans care not only for their own poor but for ours as well; while those who belong to us look in vain for the help that we should render them."

5. Women, the church actually have roles for women (not just the virgin ones like the vestal virgins).
So, instead of just being the family's property, the women could actually active in the church organization. So, mamy women converted (and many among them were from powerful families).
Heck, the mother of Constantine was a Christian. (She was a plebeian, but the emperor fancied her.)

Most men, didn't actually care about the religion, however, most women cared. So, many children birthed from a Christian women would become Christians themselves (until the whole family is Christians).

🙏🙏 May All My Glory Be Given To The True Living God Jesus Christ 🙏

[NoQuestionsAskedd]

Too much Oversimplification

Christianity had many radical ideas about society that was directly opposed to the old system

Besides, that the Tribal Chieftains who converted would convert entire populations even through force
