5/12:

We continued watching the video.

• Having one emperor means that they can do what ever they want
• Everyone was afraid to stop Tiberus
• Tiberus killed his friend
• No one was secure in his control
• Tiberus died and Caligula took over
• Can avoid too much power if you had 3 branches that looked after each other (like US)
• Jesus ties in with this
• Paul told the story of Jesus; he formed Christianity
• Without Paul everyone would probably forgotten about Jesus
• Jesus is a historical figure in this video
• People threatened to throw Jesus off a cliff
• Jesus was arrested and cursified
• Jews and Rome both powerful at the time
• Jesus bothered both Rome and the Jews
• Jesus talked to the poor
• Jesus broke the law
• He was arrested by Rome
• Rome didn't know what to do with him so they passed him back in forth between Rome and the Jews until enough people wanted him killed
• Learned that you shouldn't mess with the Roman Empire
• Jesus even got the attention of Tiberius
