It all begins with Jesus- Jesus was only a preacher who set himself apart from other "Messiahs"
-Jesus taught that one must strive for perfection since God was perfect
-Jesus sought out the imperfect in society
-Jesus was believed to be both man and Son of God
-He was said to be a threat against Roman Rule because he empowered normal people (Like the Gracchi)
-His followers believed that he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven
Then, it comes down to Paul of Tarsus
-Saul was a persecutor of Christians who would just beat down believers of Christ in the streets
-One day he was knocked of his horse and blinded by God
-Jesus told him what he was doing wrong and how he could fix it
-He took up the name of Paul and became a traveling preacher
-He wrote letters to cities and people that were turned into Gospel readings
