The real 2000-year history of Christianity most people never hear 🧵
30–62 CE: 100% Torah-observant Jewish sect led by James (Jesus’ brother). Temple, kosher, circumcision + Messiah.
49 CE: Jerusalem Council says Gentiles don’t need to become Jews. Paul’s “faith-alone, no-circumcision” version is officially allowed.
62–132 CE: Two Christianities live side-by-side.
132–135 CE: Bar Kokhba Revolt – the knife that cuts Christianity from Judaism forever.
Jewish rebels demand total war under new “messiah” Bar Kokhba.
Original Jewish Christians refuse (Jesus is already Messiah).
→ Rebels brand them traitors, expel/kill many.
→ Rome crushes revolt & Hadrian bans ALL Jews (incl. Jewish Christians) from Jerusalem/Judea.
Result: Torah-keeping Jewish Christianity almost wiped out.
Paul’s Gentile-friendly version is the only one left standing.
312–337 CE: Constantine makes it the Roman religion.
400–2025: It’s 99% “average-Joe” Christianity ever since.
Today 2.6 billion people are in the version that survived because Jewish rebels called the originals “traitors” in 135 CE.

AVOID ❌
• Most non-Sydney Anglican dioceses (pride flags, same-sex blessings)
• Entire Uniting Church (officially affirms same-sex marriage)
• Hillsong & many C3 locations (scandals + doctrinal drift)
