Period of Public Worship 27AD - 450AD


By Gman4326

Author's note: Part of an incomplete work


The gathering of followers who spent time helping the widow, the orphan. Proclaiming the truth to the rich, poor the enslaved.
 Breaking bread, reading from the Didache and singing the psalms found in the Greek Septuagint. This is what Public Worship is
defined as. Ten days after Christ Jesus Ascended into heaven, Pentecost occurred. According to the earliest known historian Luke.
The website christianityinview tab paulstimeline Paul was "acquitted" in 63AD. Christianitytoday put his "release" between 62-64AD.
BlueletterBible "Released from Roman imprisonment" in 62AD. So Luke book of Acts would have been finished between 60-64AD.
In Chapter two Luke writes on how Apostle Peter would give a lengthy sermon which resulted in 3000 souls saved. Since Christianity has always been a monotheistic system of thought. It was protected under the Roman-Jewish Treaty. This what had happened, Maccabaeus defeated the Seleucid army occupying Jerusalem. Meanwhile the Roman were doing the exact same thing and began to attack Seleucid government.
He sent two men one named Accos and the other Eleazar. To sign a friendship treaty with the Roman Senate.
In the early days persecution was sporadic and localized. Emperor's like Tiberius and Claudius didn't even care.
The reason was simple. Christianity posed no threat to them or the inclusive nature of idol worship of the day.
Only after these two events occurred the burning of Rome by Nero and the abrupt end of the treaty in 70AD.
Imperial Rome began to persecute Christians at the local level.
