The founder of Christianity is Jesus Christ himself, and the Apostle Paul is the one who spread His teachings and laid the first foundations for the establishment of the Church. The Church of Christianity was founded by the Greeks. From the Greek spirit, the Greek language, and Greek Neoplatonic philosophy. We should point out that the Hebrews were never Monotheists, but rather Enotheists (ENA in greek=ONE = ENOtheism= ONE GOD. Not the MONO= ONLY =MONOtheism). This means they believed that many gods existed, but their own ONE—the Hebrew god—was the most powerful, and they made a covenant only with him. Monotheism is a deep philosophical quest that did not exist among the Hebrews; it was instead devised by the Pre-Socratic philosopher (6th century bC) Xenophanes of Colophon (Asia Minor), who lived a large part of his life and taught in Elea (Velia) and Catania in Magna Graecia (South Italia ) Theology states this was by the command of Christ, who chose the Greeks! Indeed, when Christ saw the Greeks coming to hear him, he exclaimed the famous: "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified!" (Gospel, John 12:23). The sacred books of Christianity are 27. They were all written in the Koine Greek language. Later, they were translated into Latin. The Christian churches were divided into five ancient Patriarchates (the Pentarchy): • Rome, which was the capital of the Roman State. • Constantinople, which became the new capital of the Roman State. • Alexandria, where Christianity was scientifically grounded and separated from the Judeo-Christianity of the first centuries. • Jerusalem. • Antioch.
