    The church in -1AD: “Jesus is a threat to our society! We have to do something about him.”

    The church in 1AD: “What an amazing person Jesus was, join us in singing songs about him.”

    It’s easy to praise a revolutionary mind after they’re no longer a threat to your status quo.

      -1AD? So 1BC, which is before jesus was born? Do you mean ~33AD and ~34AD? Also, the church would not have been condemning Jesus as it was established after his death. You might be thinking of a Synagogue and pre-Christian Judaiism.
