If the Roman Empire had never converted to Christianity, what would the world be like today?

Answer 1

If the Roman Empire had TRULY converted to Christianity; what a wonderful world it might be.
TRUE Christianity is a transformed nature.

Answer 2

Like the Roman Empire before Christianity?
That's just a guess.

Answer 3

The world would be drastically different. The Catholic Church as we know it today was created by two councels. (at the moment I can't remember what their names were) The Catholic Church in turn planted the seed of Christianity all over the world.

Many of the European countries were built around the Catholic Church. So without Christianity the America's would have been discovered by someone else and the United States as we know it wouldn't exist.

Also Muslims complain about the Crusades started by the Christians. The Christians believed that Muslims were killing Christians for no apparent reason, but they were misinformed. They traveled all the way to Isreal to conqure the Holy City and won and lost and won and lost. (If you are interested in this subject, look up King Richard the Lion Heart on Wikipedia.) In the end the Christians went back to Europe.
After WWII and the whole Hitler thing, some Jews ended up on a military boat, (I don't know the whole story) that was moving them somewhere they didn't want to go. The Jews got mad because it didn't matter where they went they would be hated anyway so they took over the ship(s) and sailed to Isreal. Britan tried to retake the boat several times but failed. End the end Britan decided to let the Jews have part of Isreal but that didn't make the Muslims who already lived there happy. (Honestly I don't blame them) The Muslims saw it as an extinction of the Crusades and that's why their so angry today and that's why the President of Iran held that meeting thingy to discuss whether or not the Holocaust was real. They believe that it was a hoax set up by the Christians so that the Jews would have Isreal and the Holy City.

Ireland just recentlly began to set up its own government after many centuries of feuding Catholics and Protestants. In 1500 something King Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church. (He was the very first person to "completely" break away from the Church) He instituted his own Protestant Church. (called the Church of England) After he died his son became king but he died young and his daughter Mary became queen. She was Catholic so she tried to return England to the Catholic Church and had many Protestants burned at the stake and so forth. When she died childless, her half sister, Elizabeth took the throne. Elizabeth was Protestant and gave the Catholic Church the boot. After that many people broke away from the Catholic Church. Many of the people in England who were Catholic sailed to the "New World" to escape the hatred aimed toward their faith. (They colonized Maryland and Virginia) And the Puritans weren't satisfied with the Church of England because they believed that it was too similar to the Catholic Church so they moved to the "New World" for the same reasons.

Answer 4

It would have been like the U.S. before it was civilized and stabilized. The Romans were fighting pagans and the Indians were in a continual conflict of tribal wars.

Without God, it would have been like the athiestic french revolution where millions perished. Or the Communist revolution where food was confinscated from the peasants for the government and ENTIRE CITIES AND VILLAGES WERE starved to death--let us say 20,000,000 deaths.

The corruption of the "Holy Roman Empire" actually began in the sixth century when the Greek emperor, Justinian and French emperor, Clovis declared the Catholic Church leaders of the world church. To maintain that position, they had to eliminate opposition. Thus from France, around the Mediterranean Sea, to North Africa, there was an ethnic cleansing. Let us estimate 50,000,000 in Europe, and an equal number in the Americas by Indian slaves.

God has not forgotten, nor did it happen in ignorance. The Bible warned us of it, and it will surface again under a one-world government/religion. Wait and see, religious toleration will soon be a thing of the past and persecutions will begin against those of independent thought.

The Bible warns of and identifies the major player in a last-day code. see: http://abiblecode.tripod.com

Answer 5

+++Background+++

In 64 CE after Pope Linus, the first Pope of Rome had set fires all around the city to create a diversion ot rescue Paul of Tarsus killing over 250,000 innocent women, men and children, the Romans for the first time in their history ruled a belief in a religion was a capital offence.

There was a time around 150 CE, when most christians were driven to secret meetings in Eastern cities that the true religion of Jesus (Nazarene/Gnosticism) could have triumphed. Valentinus at the time was a famous gnostic that taught the Emperors and had thousands of students.
See:
http://one-faith-of-god.org/new_testament/apocrypha/nazarenes/nazarenes_0010.htm

Sadly, Christianity, the parasitic religion of Paul triumphed and the rest is history.
See:
http://one-faith-of-god.org/new_testament/apocrypha/founders_christianity/founders_christianity_0010.htm

+++What would have happened if the true religion of Jesus succeeded and christianity never existed?+++

+ The world would be paradise.

+ The motor car would have been invented by 600 CE

+ Cancer would have been cured by at least 1000 CE

+ There'd be no famine, hunger and certainly no fanatical terrorism.

Answer 6

HOLD ON!
The Roman Empire never converted to christianity- they converted to catholicism, BIG DIFFERENCE.

Catholicism is loaded with pagan rituals, idolatry, praying to the dead, and many other things that does not fit into TRUE christianity.

Answer 7

Here a better one. If the United States was never a Christian nation, what would the world be like today? I don't think the picture would be that great.

Answer 8

Honestly, it's too hard to tell whether it would be better or worse. Maybe there wouldn't be so much division and hatred in the world. I think it would be a more peaceful world, but that could just be wishful thinking on my part.

Answer 9

Pastor Billy says: i don't know I don't have one of those revisionist time machines that leads people to believe in a endtimes pre-tribulation rapture.

If you have one can I try it out perhaps many things would be different like America colonized by the Russians and still Communist.

Answer 10

The question properly is if Rome and the vatican had not copped Christianity and incorporated into it all their pagan practices, what would the world be like today? And the answer is, hypothetically, a hell of alot less confusing and goofy in terms of all the different denominations that formed and ran like hell to get away from those pagan, religious whackos called ex-caesars turned popes.
