Pax Romana Religious Tolerance

Religious Tolerance To Jews in Jerusalem Pax Romana Religious Tolerance To Jews in Jerusalem “just keep the peace” For years Jews died while refusing to bow down and worship other gods (10 commandments) – Including the emperor…they came to an unspoken agreement…just stay quiet and we will not force you to worship the Emperor

Divisions of Judaism Pharisees – Sadducees – Common Jew – the most meticulous observers of the ancestral law Most Jews were prepared to accept that claim Sadducees – Sadducees did not believe in the authoritative nature of the ancestral laws Sadducees were more Hellenized and less traditional a great deal of following among the well-to-do and among the priestly classes Common Jew – Plain simple folk: observe the Sabbath, who observe the holidays, the festivals, who go with the pilgrimage to temple, who observe the Jewish food laws, the Jewish rituals, believe in the Jewish God, follow the ways by which to make the life holy, follow the dictates of the Torah in a kind of simple plain way, The Jews did not “kill Jesus”. The common Jew was just a member of society. Roman Law and a few Jewish political leaders led the trials against Jesus.

Divisions of Judaism Essenes – Zealots – the Jews of Qumran, the Dead Sea Scrolls separated themselves from the community Zealots – Began by Judas of Galilee ** Included the Sicarii and other revolutionaries "We must destroy the Roman Empire or we must destroy Jews who cooperate with the Roman Empire. We will kill all collaborators, no King but God," **Josephus the Historian Looking for a “Messiah”

Destruction of Jerusalem (70 AD) Zealot Revolt 1,000,000 people were killed during the siege majority were Jewish 97,000 were captured and enslaved “…Men and women, old and young, insurgents and priests, those who fought and those who entreated mercy, were hewn down in indiscriminate carnage. The legionaries had to clamber over heaps of dead to carry on the work of extermination."

Destruction of Jerusalem Nazarenes Separated themselves from Judaism Elected a Gentile (Marcus) to lead them Allowed them to exist in Roman Empire….

All People – Jew, Gentile, Slave, etc Written in Greek and Latin Comfort in Message of Love

Peter established a church in Rome

Paul Vision to preach to the Gentiles Traveled from Mesopotamia to Rome
