Otherwise, again, Christianity could not have reached our place. What is it to me if Christianity does not share a "big chunk" of religion in Israel now?
you misunderstood my point. Are we not discussing within realms of jewish people? then again, it did multiply through the help catholicism and during that period of time, what was the motive, convert or die. My guess (because I dont know more about israel), they gave it to romans to pursue riches. Again, my stand is that if you can find a large census that Israeli people believe in christianity then, I will agree on your views. If not, my point remains... generalizing.
...then you should also understand my point, bro.
Do take note that Christianity, yes, it started with a bunch of rugged, uneducated (they were fishermen, and I used this term not to demean the Apostles but to recall what the Pharisees branded them in the book of Acts) Galilean Jews proclaiming Jesus Christ to their kinsmen, but God's providence made them to spread out
beyond Jerusalem,
beyond the Jewish nation, paving the advancement of Christianity into far-flung places. And Catholicism that time did not yet exist (if you are referring to the Roman Catholicism Religion). Nevermind about your guess, because that's not what I'm after.
And about your posted census, my view also remains: there's nothing to argue about it. All I can say is, I couldn't agree more!
