Do you think Christianity would have developed in the same way if it had arisen in an area outside the roman empire?

"margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;">It is unlikely that

Christianity would have developed in the same way if it had arisen

in an area outside the Roman Empire. Originally, the Christians

were Jews who followed the Jewish Law and preached the teaching of

Jesus to other Jews. The foundations of Christian theology were

then laid by Paul of Tarsus, who said that salvation did not

require following the Jewish laws. It required faith in Jesus as

the saviour and this could free people form sin. Therefore, Paul

made Christianity accessible to the gentiles (non-Jews) of the

Roman Empire. The Christian churches and theology were developed by

theologians and priest in various areas of the empire and was a

Roman development. Had Christianity arisen outside the Roman

Empire, it would have been developed by different people and would

have been different.
