    During both the Roman and the Greek phase, religion and religious ideas stayed relatively similar. The Romans believed in a polytheistic religion that included ideas borrowed from other cultures. For example, the Romans essentially believed in the same gods as the Greeks; however, the Romans renamed those gods so they would have Roman names instead of Greek names. Also, both the Greeks and the Romans believed in and practiced religious cults. One religious cult that the Greeks followed was The Bacchae. Followers of this cult mainly believed in partying and fornicating. A Roman religious cult was the Cult of Isis. This cult revolved around the deity Isis who was borrowed from the Egyptians. Although they were two different cultures, the Romans and the Greeks believed in similar religious ideas.…

    Roman religion and Christianity both express many similar foundational and structural ideas. Romans and Christians share the same base of strong moral as well as respect for authority. The Roman family’s shrines to the gods although not exactly the same is very similar to Jesus’s followers enamored by his teachings, and in turn was very cult-like. They were passionate about their gods, and needed to express that. Both religions believe in sacrifice. Roman’s would sacrifice themselves, food, and objects in order to please the gods, while Jesus sacrificed himself for humanities sins, others who followed in Jesus’s footsteps were considered Martyrs. Another similarity belongs in the hierarchy and social status, Rome was very structured with the patron-client system, which focused on respect. The hierarchy of Christianity was focused on doctrine and keeping internal strife at bay, as did Rome’s hierarchy.…

Most Christians do not understand the consequences of not obeying the moral laws and its values. Christians are influenced by other religions because of the lack of understanding the expectations and the fact of being accountable for their actions. Paul is presenting specific directions as how to live a godly life and to show consideration to others. This is imperative for Christians in today’s society as well as it was to the Romans. Acquiring a good foundation in the word of God is important for all Christians.…

    In all teachings whether it be from the Greeks, Romans, or Christians we have some sort of divine being ruling over men. With the exception of some Greek philosophers who, believed in no god or gods. One of the major differences between ancient religion and the Christian religion is the ancients, believed in many gods ruling over them while Christianity is monotheistic. Also just before the revolution of Christianity there were many skeptics of the old, polytheistic religions. It was evident that people were confused to why the gods would have human vices and prejudices. Christianity resolved this by God being perfect and omniscient.…
