00:01 🤔 Early Christians in the first century had varying beliefs about whether Jesus was God or not, depending on how one defines "God."
01:12 🕊️ Some early Christians believed that Jesus was a divine being, but not inherently God. They thought he became divine at key moments like his baptism or resurrection.
03:19 👑 Jesus' disciples during his lifetime considered him a great teacher and possibly the Messiah, expecting him to establish an earthly Kingdom of God.
05:22 ✝️ After Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, his followers began to believe he was a divine, immortal being who would return to bring about the Kingdom of God.
