What was the time when Christianity began?

Answer 1

On the Damascus road

And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." (Acts 9:17)
Notice Ananias said, “who appeared to you on the road as you came.” This places Yahshua back on earth, but what did Yahshua say to His disciples over His return.
Matthew Chapter 24 has the key to this. He can not return until after the tribulation, even He did not know the hour, only the Father. If Yahshua returned to earth to stop Paul we already had the “second coming!!!!!!!” Yahshua will also come in the sky, from the east traveling westward to Jerusalem, not on earth from the north-east via the Damascus road.
Where did this line come from? I just did a search on the name and variations of the name Ananias. In Acts this name is mentioned Chapter 5 as one who tries to hide the profits of land he promised from Peter and dies. In Nehemiah Chapter 3 he is the father of a man who repairs houses. But further research brings up the Book of Tobit, here Ananias is in reality the angel Raphael, and he tells Tobit to use the gall bladder of a fish to cure the eyes. Fish have scales. Since this book was considered apocrypha in Jewish circles, Saul would have probably known of it, but never studied it as scripture. Bits and pieces from this Paul has both his witness and cure. What makes this interesting is that Tobit is not included in the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament. There is no way Luke could have picked up on this.
There is another interesting parallel to the Damascus road story that of Balaam. It was also Balaam who planned the strategy to have the Israelites to eat sacrificed food, as Paul would teach. Balaam goes to curse Israel, God sends an angel to stop him, but in the end Balaam does not listen. If God sent an angel to stop Saul, he did not listen in the end and goes on to persecute what he calls the Judaziers, but who were the true disciples of Yahshua.
