As aforementioned, Christianity began with the birth of Jesus. It developed through His ministry and strengthened with his death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension into heaven. While Christianity began with the actual birth of Jesus, the idea of Christianity had been formed in the Old Testament years of the Bible. Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire and eventually became the major religion of the empire. Unfortunately, the church could not settle some major differences, resulting in Roman Catholicism and the other denominations.…
The Scalar Principle states “authority and responsibility should flow in a direct line vertically from the highest level of the organization to the lowest level” (Starling, p. 300). It can also be identified as the “chain of command”. In most work settings, utilizing the scalar principle is highly emphasized, especially in a military setting because it establishes an organized environment and different levels of authority within individuals. For example, requesting leave of absence can be approved by the first line supervisor because they are directly involved with daily operations. It is highly frowned upon skipping a member of the chain of command because many times issues can be dealt with at a lower level. At the same time, in situations…
This type of religion was one that was nontraditional Roman religion. Christianity is a mono theistic religion which is a belief where there is only one god, whereas Roman religion is a polytheistic religion which is the belief in many gods. Persecutions occurred as a result of this difference. There were many time throughout this time until Constantine the Great ended it all. In 313 C.E. Constantine ended the persecutions, and this would lead to toleration of Christianity.…

Having a monotheistic worldview is important to how we view our life. It is important to have a worldview, so we can manage through different views and interpretations and know how to handle each situation we come across. When we understand the worldviews, we know how to defend the Christian faith. Throughout the world there are three religions that are close to the monotheistic worldview and has been the leader of all faiths. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are the three religions. All of these religions have some biblical reference pointing towards Gods chosen to whom God reveled himself, that one is Abraham.…

The origin of Christianity, a monotheistic religion, dates back to the Roman Empire. Based on the Jewish religion and belief of a Messiah, Christianity emerged with the birth of Jesus. Christians believe He was the Messiah and Son of God (Guisepi, n.d.). I was raised in a Christian home. The only other religion I 've been exposed to is Catholicism, as my maternal grandparents practiced. I consider myself to be a born again Christian which means I 've asked God for forgiveness of my sins and have accepted Jesus as my Savior and…
Religion is observed everywhere, and in early empires, it was generally seen as a way to explain the unknown. In the Roman empire, they believed that gods controlled certain things such as the sea, sky, and other important aspects of life (Penza-Clyve). These polytheistic beliefs that came from Rome are no longer worshipped today. There are however, religions that have continued since the Ancient empires. It can be seen that in many empires, the worshipping of multiple gods gradually moves toward monotheism as the empire strengthens. Monotheism has appeared in various religions and cultures for thousands of years before its development in modern-day monotheistic religions.…

Some of the events that led to the fall of the Roman Empire are the rise of Christianity. Overexpansion was also another factor that caused its split. Due to chaos, constant civil and internal war was occurring allowing invasion by foreigners.…
Judaism is the oldest of the monotheistic religions, and its history is heavily connected to the history of the Jewish people themselves. Its story begins with the original agreement made between Abraham and God, circa 1900 BCE, when Abraham was called to leave his home in Ur and migrate to Cannan (later known as Palestine and Israel), a land God promised to give to his descendants. The second and chief agreement was made 450 years later when Moses led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt (the exodus) back to the lands of Canaan. At Mt Horeb (Sinai), God gave the Jewish people the 10 Commandants and other rules to live by (contained in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible), marking the beginning of Judaism as a structured religion. Jewish civilisation after the mass migration thrived in the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, initially headed by effective lords like Saul, David and Solomon, who built the first great temple in Jerusalem.…
Sometimes when we learn about the past, like Ancient Rome, we have to use judgement because there are no eyewitnesses now. We have to take it on faith because some people can distort facts. For example, we understand it to be true that Constantine saw Jesus on the burning cross. A fact, however, is that Christianity survived the Roman Empire. We know that Theodosis makes Christianity the official religion in the Roman Empire.…
