Why Christianity Spread so Rapidly and Widely

It is still a mystery why Christianity spread so rapidly and widely across the Roman Empire.

No Bible books give a clear answer to the question.  So, the Vatican ascribes the wonder to St. Peter and St. Paul.  However, there are no clear gospels or records about their deeds except the Act, etc.  Even it is not clear when the Act was written.

However, it is said to be true that first Paul was executed in Rome, and then brother of Christ Jesus James was killed in Jerusalem,  and finally Peter was killed by Nero in Rome around 67 AD before the Jewish-Roman War.

So, it is apparent that early followers of Christ Jesus were not afraid of death.  If 10 men are engaged in any enterprise without being afraid of death, they could make some great thing.  But, if 10,000 men are engaged in any enterprise without being afraid of death, they could make some greater thing.

Put simply, early Christians across the Roman Empire must have believed Christ Jesus as the son of God, which made them unafraid of death.  But what elements of early Christianity made them convinced that Christ Jesus was the son of God?

There must have been many miracles among early Christians that were not recorded or told but made them convinced that Christ Jesus was the son of God.  Only miracles people personally experienced could have such effect.  But what are those untold miracles?

Maybe, 10,000 individual miracles must have occurred to 10,000 early Christians in the Roman Empire (but no miracles might have been admitted by Jewish people).

"the children shall rise up against their parents" - Get through Different Dimensions to God

Get through Different Dimensions to God

This universe is three-dimensional in terms of space, although it can be regarded as 4-dimensional with time and further 5-dimensional with spirit.

But God might be 4-dimensional in terms of space, or more than 4-dimensional.  So then, it is impossible for us to correctly comprehend what God is.  Or, God is perfectly safe from us, since we, three-dimensional, cannot even touch God, even if we all become servants of Satan.

Human beings must resemble to God projected to the three-dimensional world.  But human beings cannot resemble God in the 4 or more dimensional world, since we are still three-dimensional even in the 4 or more dimensional world.  The cross-section view of God of 4 or more dimensions might look a three-dimensional man, but it is like a globe looking like a circle in a cross-section view from 3-dimensions to 2-dimensions.

Furthermore, in the spiritual domain, human beings may be said to have two dimensions: goodness and badness.  But, God might have more dimensions in the spiritual domain.

It is said that God created human beings according to His image.  But correctly, it should be said that God created human beings according to His three-dimensionally projected image.

That is why God does not punish bad men immediately; God did not dispose of Hitler before his killing so many Jewish people; God allowed so many wars to be fought among human beings; and God had Christ Jesus executed in Jerusalem 2000 year ago.

So, the way to understand God is narrow.  However, the way to understand Satan is easy and wide.  The way to God must get through different dimensions, which could be realized only with help from Christ Jesus.  This must be what is meant in the teaching of Christ Jesus.

(In addition, it is no wonder that Gnosticism failed to try to comprehend God in different dimensions by regrading Him being three dimensional.)
