So no one back then would have any problem with the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. Such things were used for teaching back then, Jew or otherwise....
Which is why Christianity could so easily spread in the Roman world ...

Makes a lot of "sense" until I compare it with the facts of history like the apostles being beaten up in every town, and all of them eventually martyred.
I understand that Caesar Nero was also an easy "sell." Since he needed more "
human street lights" to light up Rome, he welcomed the new religion of the gods.
But who am I to refute the "enlightened"
awareness?
He is convinced that
"Christianity easily spread in the Roman world" because "
the Greek pantheon was full of dead, resurrected, and ascended gods, and half divine half human beings."
