Early Christians were persecuted for their beliefs. Which belief in particular made others suspicious of Christians?
– their refusal to worship Roman gods
– their belief in the afterlife
– their belief that Jesus was the son of God
– their acceptance of Judaism
The correct answer is: their refusal to worship Roman gods.
Early Christians were often persecuted primarily because they refused to participate in the worship of the Roman gods and the emperor. This refusal was seen as a challenge to Roman religious practices and societal norms, which were integral to the empire’s cohesion. Their exclusivity in worshipping only one God and viewing others as false led to widespread suspicion and hostility from both Roman authorities and the general public.
