My opinion (paul´s) of the Present day

The present day is very very different from the one that we did now in jesus's time, many things have changed and a lot of events have happened, but the persons we continue being equal and continue looking for the same things, we look for a way of coming to the peace, somethings that can makes us feel alive and happy, and we look also for the way of being save, the problem is that in the actual days the people believe that all these things do not obtain to slant of the Truth of Christ, the people now only centres on material things and the current society has turned into a morally sick society, hwo dont worries about the others. Its hard to understand how after all this time, we really did not improve and how we did not learn yet.

Meaning of Church

• Chuch it is the only way of coming to god, its only one and throught it we can be near to god, without it wont be any other way of being near god. The church teaches us how to act and directs us towards the real faith, is the only and real one that can take us to the light.

Martyrs of the Early Church

Stephen was the firs martyr of the Christian faith, after his death a general persecution of the Jerusalem Church broke out, causing many Christians to flee. After King Herod had James, one of the Twelve, killed, and had Peter arrested. Eventually both Peter and Paul were martyred in Rome for their faith.
Far from destroying the Church, persecution produced brave martyrs whose examples encouraged other Christians ti remain steadfast in their faith.

Persecution of the Church by Jewish and Roman Authorities

Early Christians witnessed to the truth of Christ and some suffered persecution from both Jewish leaders and Roman authorities, Jewish leaders are not accepting Jesus as the Messiah, and they regard claims that Jesus is divine as blasphemous, because they believe that God alone can be fully divine.
Roman authorities are persecuting the Church because early Chrisians aften are refusing to offer savrifices to the Roman Emperator. Now roman authorities are interprating this refusal as disloyalty to the emperator, a crime punishable by death, that is a big problem for us...

The spirituality is how we carry out in day after day our religion and as how the people feels with regard to it. The most spirituality people are the one who cares more about the religion.

• Religion It is the whole set of beliefs that a person has brings over of something all-powerful that cannot be proved by science and that is necessary to have faith to be able to believe in it.

How Did Christianity Spread So Quickly?

All the factors that helped the Apostles and disciples to spread the Christian message in the regions surrounding around Europe and Asia. The expansion of the Church´s mission to include outreach to Gentiles increased the potential audience for evangelization. The Paul´s ability to phrase important Christian truth attracted more intellectual members in addition to believers whoo were less educated.

The Roman Empire also helped to the christian people to continue with the mission, it had a good road system for travel. All Christians responded with generosity and holiness to the calls and challenges of our time.

Gentile and Hellenistic people.

• The Gentile people were a non-Jewish person, that people did not honor the God of the Torah, they baptizing by Saint Paul into the family of God.
• The Hellenistic people were relating to Greek history, culture, or art after Alexander the Great.

Preached to Both Jews and Gentiles

Now that I was called to be the apostle of the Gentiles , I am preaching both to Jews and to Gentiles. I am always trying to comuticate the Gospel to his audience in a way they would best understand.

When I am preaching to a Jewish audience, I focused primarily on the Old Testament, explaining to his fellow Jews that the Scriptures prophesied the life, death, and Resurection of Jesus.
But when I speak to a Gentile audience, however, I change the approach. When I preaching to Greek in Athens, for example, I began by relating the Good News in a familiar context.

The Holy Spirit and the Apostles Mission

The Holy Spirit have come to repentant sinners who were baptized and aided them making decisions, assigning Paul and Barnabas to a certain task, ruling on what laws Gentile converts to Jesus must follow, and guiding Paul and Timothy to preach only in certain areas. Now the purpose of all of the Apostles is to cooperate with the Holy Trinity´s plan and invite people to share in the communion between the Father and the Son iin the Holy Spirit.

The meaning of Catholic

Along with One, Holy, and Apostolic, Catholic is one of the four marks of the Church. Catholic means "universal". The Church is catholic in two senses. She is catholic because Christ is present in her and has given her the fullnes of the means of salvation and also because she teaches throughout the world to all people.

The spread of Christianity

The Apostles and disciples are proclaiming right now the faith in a lot of places, between Damasco, Phoenicia, Antioch, Jerusalem and Samaria. Now I am(Saint Paul) travelling to places that are more far away, like Spain, Rome, Greece and Asia Minor, now all of the Apostels we are travelling so far and working so hard because we need to tell the people the GOOD NEWS about the truth of God.

Now we have to actuate

ok christian people, Jesus has just entrusted us a difficult task after his death, we have to make come to the whole world the truth of God, the Church has just begun, and now the prophets have to make disciples of all nations.
