Christian History Questions
I read somewhere that the divinity of Jesus was not actually decided yet until it was voted several centuries later by a council of some sort. If I am wrong, please correct me.
If this is so, what were the people calling themselves "Christians" before this decision believing in? Did they believe that he was the son of God sent down to save humanity? Did they believe that they must believe in him in order to be saved? As is my understanding, all of this was not decided until later. From what I also understand, the first Christians were basically still Jewish, but with a new philosophy/outlook/view on certain things advocated by Jesus. Am I wrong?

Re: Christian History Questions
Hi.
Q: "I read somewhere that the divinity of Jesus was not actually decided yet until it was voted several centuries later by a council of some sort. If I am wrong, please correct me." A: Some people may have decided to believe it then, and some obviously believed it while Jesus was still walking on the earth. Q: "If this is so, what were the people calling themselves 'Christians' before this decision believing in? Did they believe that he was the son of God sent down to save humanity? Did they believe that they must believe in him in order to be saved? As is my understanding, all of this was not decided until later. A: Yes. Yes. Yes. No. Q: "From what I also understand, the first Christians were basically still Jewish, but with a new philosophy/outlook/view on certain things advocated by Jesus. Am I wrong?" A: Some of the first (early) Christians were Jews and some were not. Have a great day!
