hey Lemur, where ya been?
:)

Answer 2

No. in 56 bc there weren't any Christians yet as it was 56 years before the birth of Christ. Rome itself didn't even become a Chrsitian nation until the Roman emperor Constantine who in 312 ad decreed that it was no longer a crime to be a christian and 8 years later, at the urging of his mother, decreed that the whle of the Roman empire should be converted and with them the rest of the world should be either converted or be put to the sword. He also at that time outlawed all other religions in ANY Roman territory.

It wasn't until about the 6th century or so that Christianity was introuduced into England.

Answer 3

Constantine did no longer include Christianity burt a state faith which grow to be a mix of Paganism, superstition and corrupted Christianity from which emerged the Roman Catholic Church. The Gospel reached England withing some short years of Christ's resurrection because it did via the international. yet interior the Roman Empire it grow to be heavily and savagely persecuted merely because it endured to be below the Roman Catholic Church. It subsequently unfold in a hidden and "underground" way. no longer till Tyndale while the Bible grew to grow to be extra freely and broadly accessible did the potential of the RCC cut back sufficiently that the Gospel emerged from that harsh persecution to stand a lesser persecution and ostracism from what grew to grow to be the Church of britain. Even at present that's in certainty hidden among the heresies and blunders that pass for Christianity. God's anyone is a non secular temple and inclusion is a paintings of the Spirit interior the direction of the Gospel which God oversees is communicated to all who respond to His call. It does not count in any respect upon the church homes of fellows nor the respected histories. You seem to no longer have the skill to parent between God's paintings and the works of fellows.

Answer 4

the attempted roman invasion of 55 bc failed.

there was no christianity until the 40s ad (or thereabouts) - how could there be?

britain did not become a roman province until the reign of claudius (the invasion was in 43 ad).

rome was not christian before constantine's edict of toleration (313 ad).

how many more mistakes could you have got into a single sentence?

[edit[

the catholic crusader is wrong the way he always is. when augustine of canterbury came to britain as an envoy of the roman catholic church in 602 he met the british christian bishops at awst on the bristol channel, and attempted to persuade them to accept the pope's authority (they refused).

if there had not already been a strong and successful christian church in britain the pope would not have needed to send augustine in the first place.

st. augustine of hippo (the fourth century one, whom catholic crusader is talking about) lived in north africa. he never visited britain.

Answer 5

no

the romans invaded in 56, but they were certainly not christian then - christianity was not brought to Britain for another 400 years

Answer 6

Right you are, but what is even lesser known is that Islam had been introduced there a couple of centuries earlier. For some reason, it never caught on.

Answer 7

I believe it was St Augustine in the 4th Century
And, the first Saxon King to become Christian wasn't until the 6th Century if my memory serves me correctly

Answer 8

No. Brtain became Christian between the 3rd and 6th century (gradually, one "Lord" at a time) AD>

Answer 9

No. Christianity began after Christ. 56 B.C. is before Christ.

Answer 10

i dont find it possible that christianity could exist 56 years before christ was born.

Answer 11

Trying to assume you're not being serious. If you are, have a closer look at 'B.C.'
