Apostolic Era: Empowerment 33 Jesus’ resurrection A few weeks later: Peter and other disciples of Jesus announced Jesus' resurrection in Jerusalem Peter and other disciples denied Jesus… (scared) The disciples are not afraid for their lives… Reason ???
Apostolic Era: Change of heart 33 Jesus’ resurrection 37 Paul persecuted and killed Christians (according to his own words) 66 Paul was killed by Nero (because Paul was a Christian…) According to Paul: he was converted to Christianity after seeing and speaking with the resurrected Jesus (Acts 9) 38
Apostolic Era: Change of heart 33 Jesus’ resurrection Jesus’ brothers did not believe that He was the Son of God (in fact, they believed that He was crazy - John 7:3-5 62 James (brother of Jesus) was stoned to death for his faith in Jesus Jesus appeared to James after He has resurrected from the death (1 Co 15)…  Seeing a death person coming back to life will surely make someone into a believer …
Apostolic Era: Early martyrs 33 Jesus’ resurrection 37 Stephen (first martyr) dies at the hands of Saul (Paul) – Acts 9 42 James (brother of John) beheaded by Herod – Acts 12:2 47 49 1 st  missionary mission of Paul (Acts 13-14)

Apostolic Era: Verification 33 Jesus’ resurrection 49 41 Claudius emperor 47 Claudius expelled Jews from Rome (Suetonius) Paul met Aquila and Precilia, two Jews in Italy that were expelled by Claudius (Acts 18:2) 50 52 1 st  mission 2 nd  mission
Apostolic Era: Persecutions 64 Rome burned By Nero Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians (Tacitus) "... a vast multitude, were convicted, not so much of the crime of incendiarism as of hatred of the human race. And in their deaths they were made the subjects of sport; for they were wrapped in the hides of wild beasts and torn to pieces by dogs, or nailed to crosses, or set on fire, and when day declined, were burned to serve for nocturnal lights ."

Post Apostolic: Persecutions " I have observed the following procedure: I interrogated these as to whether they were Christians; those who confessed I interrogated a  second  and a  third  time, threatening them with punishment;  those who persisted I ordered executed .... ” – Pliny Pliny: 100 AD “ For the matter seemed to me to warrant consulting you, especially because of the number involved. For  many persons of every age, every rank, and also of both sexes are and will be endangered …”
Post Apostolic: Persecutions Decius: 249 - 251 " Under the emperor  Decius  many persecutions arose against the name of Christ, and there was such a slaughter of believers that they could not be numbered. Babillas, bishop of Antioch, with his three little sons, Urban, Prilidan and Epolon, and Xystus, bishop of Rome, Laurentius, an archdeacon, and Hyppolitus, were made perfect by martyrdom  because they confessed the name of the Lord . ” – Gregory of Tours
Post Apostolic: Official Religion 312 323 313 Constantine emperor of the Western Roman Empire – fighting under the Christian Cross symbol (dream) Edict of Milan: Christianity given same status as pagan religions Constantine emperor of the WHOLE Roman Empire 324 Christianity only legal religion in Roman empire 325 Council of Nicaea
Council of Nicaea ala D. Brown 325 Council of Nicaea Jesus was not considered equal to God before the Council Jesus was “made”  equal to God by a close vote in the Council Dan Brown in a LIER
