Although When Christianity Appeared The Total Population

The Most That One Of Jewish Faith Can Do - And Some Have Gladly Done It - Is To Say That Jesus Was The Greatest In The Long Succession Of Jewish Prophets. None Can Acknowledge That Jesus Was The Messiah Without Becoming A Christian.

Although When Christianity Appeared The Total Population Of The Planet Was Only A Fraction Of That Of The Twentieth Century, Most Of The Earth's Surface Was Quite Outside The Mediterranean World, Persia, India, And China.

Compared With The Thousands Of Years In Which Human Life Has Been On This Planet, Christianity Is A Recent Development.

John The Baptist, Who We Are Told Was Related By Blood To Jesus, Was Preaching The Impending Judgement Of God, Urging Repentance And Moral Reform, And Baptizing In The Jordan River Those Who Responded.

The Psalms, The Anthology Of The Hymns Of Israel, Are Still Used By Christians.
