Question

Jesus was born when Romans were ruling supreme, Can you imagine the atmosphere in which Jesus grew up?

Answer 1

Yes, I can imagine it.  It was probably less polluted than the atmosphere we have now.

Answer 2

If you really want to get a feel for it, read the book "Quo Vadis", which means "Where are you going", and is a story about Christians during Nero's reign.  It is a wonderful book written in 1895 and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1896, I believe.  It's part a romance between a Christian woman, Ligia, and a cousin of Nero, Marcus Vinitius, as well as a story about the Christians "survival" under Nero.  The author, from Poland, is Henryk Sienkiewicz.  I've read the book at least twice over the years, and I can guarantee  that if you're truly interested in what Jesus may have had to live through, you'll be very glad to get this book.  God Bless you.

Answer 3

Yes, exactly same as what we muslim are facing today. I am born when romans (EU and US) are ruling supreme.

Answer 4

Yeah, sort of like being a freedom-loving American while Bush rules. All those executions, too.

Answer 5

Hot and dry in the summer, cold and windy in the winter.  Spring and fall were ok, except for the occasional dust storms.

Answer 6

It must have been something but the crazy thing is, after His death, they started the Roman Catholic religion. By which millions live by today, Which do not advocate Christ's teaching but there own.

Answer 7

Sure, makes a guy wanna throw on a robe and sandals and pretend to be the son of God.

Answer 8

the same atmosphere my ancestors grew up in

Answer 9

Like growing up Black in the 1960's.

Answer 10

There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one!!! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!!

Outside of the bible he is not mentioned in anything until many years after his supposed death!!

The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god!!!   He also organized Christianity into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!!  Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed origin but entirely Italian!!

What a wonder full disinformation and deception campaign he waged against his Christian enemies - so good in fact that Christians are still following the deception to this day!!!

Answer 11

Extremely oppressive.
