They controlled all the shores of the Mediterranean, stretching north to England and up to the Rhine River in Germany and east to Hungary, including Romania, Turkey and all the Near East.The strength of the Roman Empire lasted several centuries, until around 400 AD. 

In Ancient Rome there were three ways in which the Romans could transport their goods: by sea, by river or by land. The cheapest and fastest way to transport was by sea. Unfortunately, it was also the riskiest way to transport goods as it could result in theft from piracy. These three ways of transportation grew significant in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE.  
One of the main languages used around this time was Hebrew. This is because before Paul had anyone converted to Christianity, the main religion was Jewish and the language for the Jewish religions was usually Hebrew.

When Saul was a Jew, he was responsible for stoning Christians to death. Once Jesus converted Saul to Christianity, he spread the good message amongst the crowds and brought many new followers to Jesus’ Christianity. Also, without Saul’s conversion, there would be 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament missing. He wrote the letters which form part of the New Testament. When Saul of Tarsus became Paul the Apostle, he shaped our world.   ]]> 2016-11-20 23:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/20nichk/laug75nx9clo/wish/138971603 Post 3: Outline the extent of Paul's first or second or third Journey 20nichk https://padlet.com/20nichk/laug75nx9clo/wish/138971698 Paul’s first journey went for 1400 miles and was around 46 AD. Starting in Antioch, Paul sailed to the island of Cyprus, and visited the cities of Salamis and Paphos. He then sailed up to Asia Minor and visited the cities of Perga, Antioch, Iconium, Lystra and Derbe. He the retraced his journey to Attalia and made his way to Antioch. In total, he travelled to nine cities. The Roman roads definitely helped make Paul’s journey easier. ]]> 2016-11-20 23:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/20nichk/laug75nx9clo/wish/138971698 Post 4: Explain the purpose of Paul's letters / identify the main messages in his preaching 20nichk https://padlet.com/20nichk/laug75nx9clo/wish/138971770 Paul’s purpose was to address people about his encounters with Jesus, and to appeal to groups of people to try and convert them into believing in Jesus’ word. His aim was to convert not only Jews but people of all faiths to Christianity. Paul wanted Christianity to become a worldwide religion. He had an immense impact on the frescoes which decorated the churches because they told stories of the New Testament. Paul’s letters preached about righteousness and salvation. This message encouraged people to be morally right in their actions and to have a strong faith in God. He also spoke about the need for hope and joy - those who have faith and hope can be confident that good things will come and joy is a spiritual and emotional response of the heart that is deep and firm.

Paul exercised his right as a roman citizen to go to trial in Rome. Nero, the emperor of Rome, saw the religion of Christianity as a threat. And, when a fire broke out in Rome, destroying hundreds of buildings, Nero needed someone to blame, so he blamed the Christians. Paul was falsely accused and put in jail, where he wrote some of his letters. Soon after Nero had Paul beheaded.  In Ephesians 3:1-9 Paul says: “This is the reason that I, Paul, am a prisoner forChrist Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles…this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, and to make everyone seewhat is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things.”

His main message in this letter was that religion and culture doesn’t matter because we all have something in common. Despite his main message, people also thought that the messages from his letter was that there are different kinds of gifts but they all originate in the same god and it does not matter what you do, it is how you do it. His letter to the Corinthians has shaped people today because it encourages people to welcome and accept others from different religious backgrounds.
