| | Sabbath - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | These Christians are sometimes refered to as Jewish Christians. | | | Some conclude that the Didache could be discussing the observation of the Christian Passover as Christians were keeping it "in the Lord's way" or "according to the Lord or Lord's", and not (presumably) the same way that the Jews had kept it. | | | This is often considered an attempt of the early Christian church to distance itself from Judaism which had become unpopular in the Roman Empire after the Jewish-Roman wars. |

| | Deep Rooted Presence |
| | Although the original Christians were primarily Jews, by the beginning of the second century non-Jewish (gentile) Christians became a majority and dominated the hierarchy of the church. | | | During its early years Christianity was essentially an underground movement whose followers were persecuted by the suspicious Romans who believed that the early Christians were members of another Jewish sect since Jesus himself and most of the apostles, disciples and followers were of Jewish origin. | | | The final splintering of the Christian World was the direct result of certain Christological decisions made at the Council of Calcedon, which created a serious theological and ecumenical breach among the Christian leadership practically dividing them into two opposing camps. |

| | Family Research Council: Saturday, March 25, 2006 |
| | These objections to Christian theories of human rights are weighty objections, and they leave one wondering what Christians should think about theories of rights today. | | | This conception explains why so many Christian theologians of the past could oppose tyranny, oppression, and exploitation in the name of justice--which they conceived as the corporate good of all classes of people in their proper place and order--without embracing human rights as such. | | | The political teaching of the last generation of theologians is especially clear: Christianity is naturally allied to liberal democracy in a way that it is not to monarchy or theocracy or communism. |
