PREFACE: This was supposed to be more organized and part of a whole notebook on the apostolic age and christian history as a whole. Ill continue the notes eventually, but for now ill leave this here.
================================================================
Early Church was pretty localized until Peter was called to go on mission.
it was ~8 years before any Gentiles joined the church
During Peters evangelizing, James becomes the leader of the church in Jeruselum
there was conflict between hellenistic jews and Judaic jews because HJews started becomng more adapted to greek culture. These greek philosophies become a challenge for church later on, with gnosticism, anil platonic, era steelian and similar things.
the church in jeruselum was still heavily jewish in tradition while recognizing jesus as messiah.
in 70 AD, temple is destroyed and now the church become less tied to judiasm
some other things that are shifted after this, fasting shifts from Monday and thurday to Wed and friday for christian, communion was more focused abt victory of christ and his return, in contrast with modern "death" focused communion.
after 70AD, jews dont have as much influence in the church, paul warns dont become arrogant of them, god still has a plan for them, dont become arrogant in thinking you are the only ones of importance.
in Acts you see from ressurection to about 60AD, church culture was heavily about leading by example, reading the bible publicly so everyone can hear, spreading and telling teh word, converting people, etc.
by the mid 60s, judaism and christianity become distinct enough that the roman empire outlaws christianity.
What happened to the Apostles? We dont really know, we have tradition, some references, but no actual documentation.
Peter - Crucified under Nero upside down
Paul - Beheaded in Rome, he was a Roman citizen so no crucifixion.
James - Killed by Herod
John - ~95AD, probably old age
Thomas - Supposedly took the church to india
