    Jews doubted that Jesus was the messiah because many people thought that the messiah wasn't going to be divine. Also they thought that the messiah would liberate them from the Romans.

  16. The three most intersting things i learned about Christianity were:

    1. Jesus preached the Golden Rule: that everybody should treat others the way they want to be treated.

    2. Jesus was baptized by his cousin, John the Baptist.

    3. Jesus wasn't a Christian, he was a Jew.


    I don't really understand why Peter betrayed Jesus considering that Jesus put a lot of trust into Peter. (gave him the Keys of Heaven)


    Christian K.: Paul was originally Saul of Tarsus. He was very cruel and persecuted the Jews. One day, he went suddenly blind and heard the voice of the Divine saying, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting my people?" In addition, he saw the ressurected Jesus. He then converted because he believed that Jesus was really the messiah. (CW#21 question 45)

    G: Andrew was a fisherman and the older brother of Peter. He was one of the original 12 apostles.
