The Great Commission serves as the primary call and purpose of Christians all around the world. The person that heads this call and purpose and follows the example of Christ is one that may experience many things. This person may experience sacrifice, discomfort, doubt, and maybe even persecution or death. On the other hand, this person will definitely experience purpose, rewarding relationships, God’s power, God’s blessing, and the knowledge that they are right where God wants them to be.
This organization and stability provided yet another means for Christianity to earn converts. Christianity’s growing importance in the Mediterranean basin and Europe is likely the result of the emotional connection that the religion provided in the face of political turmoil that the sterile Roman mythology was not able to offer.To the east of Rome, the empire survived and continued, in the form of the Byzantines, uninterrupted for nearly a thousand years after Rome’s fall. Although the Gupta empire declined, Indian culture continued largely unchanged despite political transitions, much the Byzantines. At the beginning of the period, Rome was a
Their supply of fresh water wascut off. This does not undermine the myth of La Malinche - herlegends are part of Mexico's historical iconography. Indeed,official Spanish policy for the first several decades of the 16th centurywas set by Queen Isabella in 15 3 in coordination with her Roman CatholicChurch advisors: this policy held that Amerindians were "children of God"worthy of redemption and a place of equality in the Christian world(Benitez 87-1 8; Fehrenbach 112-114). In the ensuring months, while theAztecs lost one ruler and tens of thousands of warriors to the smallpoxepidemic, he and Malinche persuaded all of the city-states surrounding LakeTenochtitlan to either ally themselves under Spanish leadership or remainneutral (Fehrenbach 149).
In the 1,300 years after the life of Muhammad, the relationships between Christianity and Islam have remained less than harmonious. As the Muslim Empire spread, much after the conquering of the Judeo-Christian Holy Land and the Christian Byzantine Empire. During the 11th and 13th centuries, the Christian Crusades waged mainly against Muslims, served only to separate the two faiths in a greater capacity. Constantinople, the "New Rome" and the center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity, fell to the Turks in 1453, living under Islamic rule after this defeat (ReligionFacts,
The Forgotten Christian World Christianity in all its forms began in the Middle Eastern region during the 1st century C.E., but as it became the state religion of the Roman Empire in the Western Mediterranean, denominations that disagreed with the specific beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church were forced out of Roman-controlled regions and found refuge in Persian-controlled lands. Without the constraints of the Roman theocratic government, these denominations were free to expand and spread deep into the Asian continent. For the first one thousand years of the Common Era, while Christians throughout Europe were struggling to convert and dominate the indigenous religions they encountered, Christianity was able to coexist peacefully as the minority religion in the Middle East and Asia. This coexistence was possible perhaps because these Christians found themselves in the midst of the more tolerant and accepting religions and cultures of Buddhism and Hinduism in China and India, and even early Islam in the Middle East. It is possible that the influence of these religions is the reason that Eastern Christians exhibited a
Islam has been practiced in the far north for roughly seven centuries, shifting its appeal over this time from its strength as a world religion. Christian missionaries arrived at the coast in the seventeenth century but did not win converts in large numbers until the nineteenth century. Christianity's appeal was strongest among educated Africans and those who sought advancement through European contact. Christian holidays are officially recognized, but Muslim celebrations are also held, and, as in many areas of national life, tolerance is the general attitude toward the practice of religion. Many Ivoirians practice local religions, which are sometimes infused with elements of Christianity or Islam, or both.
