Christianity: Martyrdom Transcends Time

Jesus said to the apostles: "You must become disciples for all the nations, and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19) Of course, the apostles seriously did this work throughout the Mediterranean and the fertile New Moon and declared the message of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. However, the Jewish officials (those who worked for Jesus' execution) were afraid that the movements of the people they executed were growing. In addition, the Roman government based on fear, law, and order is no less than a radical movement based on God who can quickly and effectively eradicate.

Christians borrowed the concept of martyrdom from Judaism and anyone who died for faith was brought to God in front of them. As a result, martyrdom became very attractive for Christians, and many stories were told about their courage and faith in the face of death. This devotion will be the advertisement of faith. Despite the tradition of Christianity (and Hollywood), persecution has never been subject to laws and regulations within the Empire from the second half of the Christian era to the beginning of the fourth century. There are also thousands of victims. For 300 years, we recorded that the sporadic nature of persecution depends on particular circumstances. Every time the crisis (foreign aggression, famine, plague) happens, Christians become scapegoats to offend God. In the meantime, most Romans left Christians.

The rise of Christianity occurred simultaneously with the emergence of "martyrs" as religious figures. These martyrs witnessed their Christian faith through the execution of Roman authority. Christian played an important role in the life of early Christian churches, as their beliefs were increasingly believing that "not male leaders, but women played an active role" martyrdom It was. Institutionalized Christian church. Religious debate and Christian universalism The spread of religious thought in the Roman Empire contains the belief that there is something bigger and more important behind the material world. Contact with this "other world" gives believers a sense of value and leads them to this world. After all, they will join another world. Judaism expressed these views because the Romans tried to rethink their religious beliefs after the Roman army destroyed the temple of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
