No problem! Looking forward to it.
Given how the Orthodox church split from the Roman ones and stuff how like the Greek church seemed to have this nasty tendency of forming heresies, it would be interesting to explore that possibility.
I'll get into this next chapter but we'll see how the both of them react proper and Shapur learns for the first time how hard this whole conversion thing is gonna be but he'll also have a way of using that on his advantage.
Thank you!
Thank you for reading! While the Persians will probably still be tolerant(especially towards Jews) they won't tolerate "heresies" which if there was one thing Christians, Buddhists and Zoroastrians could agree on was that Manicheism was a heresy.
In that case, what will the persian church's opinion of the concept of "Yazata" be? Because if it is assimilated into Persian Christian Orthodoxy, is there a chance that gods of other faiths would end up getting 'reinterpreted' as Yazata, like how the church IOTL 'reinterpreted' many pagan gods as being saints?
I agree, in a lot of these Third Century Christian Persia timelines it gets assumed that a Christian Persia means that Christianity would become Irrelevant in the Medterranean. Contrast that to OTL, where, even after Rome converted to Christianity, the religion had still managed to spread far east, including Sassanid controlled Mesopotamia and seemed to have a fairly good chance. ITTL, it's likely the Church of the West would adopt a different doctrine to the Orthodoxy, in order to distance themselves from the latter and avoid persecution, just like the Church of the East IOTL.
Yes, and its still possible that the Roman Empire becomes officially Christian though not guaranteed. It will just obviously be a competing strain of Christianity.
I'll explain this better on the chapter that is focused on a council the bishops will perform in order to "update" the Church, but without going much into spoilers, they'll try to adapt many parts in order to make something that is familiar without being a outright copy.
Thank you! Hope you'll stick around for what I'll do next.
Ah yes, the classic "My version of Christ is correct!" "No! Mine is" to add yet another reason for the Romans and Persians to kill one another.
Reason to want to kill the
You joke but they really called the romans "Alexander's army" at times because they didnt bother with the difference
"We do love our enemies! The heretics just don't count is all!"
Even more ironic considering it was supposed to be a insult given what Alexander did to Persia yet the Romans would love the comparison. "Your disapproval fills me with pride"
Oh wow, so glad to have you here! Love your works and hope that I can entertain you just as much as you entertained me.
