There was no christian church immediately after Christs Resurrection. They were considered an offshoot of the Jewish religion. A jewish sect if you prefer.. Paul was sent to the gentiles, the apostles were only sent to the Jews of the day...they went to temple as they did before Christs Resurrection., just as Jesus did.I am not sure how long after Christ when they started to call themselves Christians. They were followers of Christ, just as today there are people that convert and call themselves Jews for Jesus....I use to watch Zola Levitt’s program He has passed on but his program was informative he talked about what Jesus life was like as a Jew, explained what Seder was and how he came to believe in the Messiah..Used the bible to prove Jesus divinity via the bible...

“There was no christian church immediately after Christs Resurrection.”

Yes, there was - it just wasn’t revealed to the world until Pentecost.

“They were considered an offshoot of the Jewish religion.”

It only matters what the Church was not what people considered it to be. Christ made the Church not Jewish opinion.

“A jewish sect if you prefer..”

Again, what the Church was considered to be is not important compared to what it was.

“Paul was sent to the gentiles, the apostles were only sent to the Jews of the day...”

Close enough. In actuality Peter had interactions with Gentiles as well and other Apostles did as well naturally.

“they went to temple as they did before Christs Resurrection., just as Jesus did.I am not sure how long after Christ when they started to call themselves Christians. They were followers of Christ, just as today there are people that convert and call themselves Jews for Jesus....I use to watch Zola Levitt’s program He has passed on but his program was informative he talked about what Jesus life was like as a Jew, explained what Seder was and how he came to believe in the Messiah..Used the bible to prove Jesus divinity via the bible...”

Okay, but I don’t know what that proves about what we were talking about. I watched Zola Levitt’s programs as well in the 90s. Sometimes he was way off base - more recent Christian history was not his strong suit that’s for sure.
