If Christianity is wrong, how could it do this?

Hi Manny.
I am not sure what you mean by “Christianity is wrong”. That is not the way I talk. I do say that whatever Christianity may be right about, it is not the body of Christ. Christianity can save no one. And that is the whole point.
The video begins by declaring the myth that Christianity emerged in the first century AD. It did not. The gospel of Christ is what emerged in the first century, and its influence is what changed people’s perspective on life, or at least, many of them. Much of what men of God like Paul and the other apostles taught about morals was just an affirmation of the moral standard contained in Moses’ law. The positive influence of the gospel in moral matters continued to spread even after believers turned away from Paul’s gospel, primarily because what those backslidden saints turned to was Moses’ law, which condemned such immorality as was common among the Greeks and the Romans. So, even the apostate believers of the second and third centuries who called themselves Christians held forth that good standard.
It was an interesting point made in the video, that slaves and women were attracted to the gospel because of its moral standard, but the truth is more likely that it was the power of God that attracted them most.
Thank you for asking. It was a good question. God bless you as you continue to seek for what is truly of Him.
