Jesus Christ Blog

learydisciple asked:


The belief in Jesus Christ and his legacy has caused violence and conflict for nearly 2000 years. Religious wars in the 17 and 18th century, the christian crusades….etc.(My knowledge in history is limited,). Does anyone know the estimated death toll, and is there another individual in history that ultimately brought about the number of death as Jesus Christ?(My guess would be maybe muhammad).

Notice I didnt say that Jesus directly cause the violence, but that it was his legacy he left behind that caused it through his followers.
Starlight: You need a casualty number for Jesus’s legacy before saying that its less than 6-10 million.

I know that now we calll it BC, for instance BC 431. But what was the reference before Jesus came, because at that time they obviously had no idea that he would be born on the Earth 431 years later. Does anyone know how they counted years?

saphira_xxx asked:


Also, what time period would ancient Greece be associated with? Does it include the Classical period? the Hellenistic period?

And it would really help if someone could clearly explain the Greeks’ relationship with their Gods.

If anyone knows of any good books about Greek religion that would help me for the report I am writing, than please let me know. Particularly if you know any on Questia.com. Thanks.
