1.1 Purpose and method The aim of this article is to look at the foundation of the earliest Christianity from the cultural and theological lines developed within Judaism from the Babylonian exile in the sixth century BC to Jesus and his first and second-generation followers. In a nutshell it is argued that, with the Babylonian exile, two lines originated within Judaism, the Babylonian line representing the orthodox ideal standard Judaism, and the Egyptian border that arose from the Jews who fled to Egypt . The latter should develop in the Hellenistic line. The Babylonian line after the return from exile disintegrated in Hasmonitiese line, on the one hand, that from Farisers and existed Saddusers, had control of the temple in Jerusalem and strongly supported on Mosaese laws . On the other hand, there was the Henogitiese line strong apocalyptic and which the Qumranitiese Essenes can be distinguished the Henogitiese Essenes. The article suggests that the earliest Christianity in particular is strongly influenced by the latter. Regarding methodology, the article mainly relies on secondary sources, which are evaluated and selected based on internal, probable reasoning. The article will mainly show that the earliest Christianity ideal standard through Judaism ideal standard influenced culturally or theologically single or simple, but by a Judaism which different cultural and theological ideal standard lines internally in conflict with each other. 1.2 Background The Christianity of the first and early second century of the not arise in gesoleerde environment, but from a ineengewikkelde struggle within Judaism that has raged for centuries. Christianity, the theological and cultural lines as foundation oorgerf which they built one of the many players and builders ideal standard in Judastiese conflict. This foundation of theological and cultural lines stretching as far back as the Babylonian exile of the 6th century BC. 2. The distribution of the Egyptian and Babylonian lines within the Judaism during the Babylonian exile Jerusalem
2.1 Babylonian line during the exile (s) The Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II in 605 BC up against Egypt and in the process conquered Palestine, where Jehoiachin surrendered to him. This was the first of three occasions ideal standard during exile to Babylon. During the third session in 586 BC, the temple in Jerusalem verwoes.2 It was this wegvoerings that led to the birth of the Egyptian and Babylonian lines that eventually would play an important role in the foundation from which Christianity grew. Wegvoerings often focused on the leadership community of Jerusalem, namely royalty, ideal standard leraanvoerders, the nobles and priests. A large part of the leadership community is carried away to Babylon, where they were placed in separate areas to the remote areas of the Babylonian empire populated. But not all leaders to Babylon. A large part of the leadership community fled to Egypt. The disadvantaged in Jerusalem ideal standard have not really played a prominent role in the leadership of Judaism, except that they terugkerendes later tegestaan. So there two prominent leaders groupings within Judaism arose, namely the Egyptian group and Babylonian groep.3 In Babylonians was Jehoiachin still by Babylonian king as the king of the accept Juders. Juders lived in separate areas but still functioned as an ethnic and religious entity. All Juders of Babylonian Empire fell under the authority ideal standard of King Jehoiachin. The priests who exercised authority in the temple of Jerusalem, ideal standard they still retain the authority in Babylon, although the temple was destroyed. In this way, the power structure of Jerusalem before the exile transferred to Babylon, under the still functioning Davidic monarchy and old priesthood of Jerusalem.4 2.2 The Egyptian line during the exile (s) While the Jewish priestly and royal authority in Babylon maintained , the Egyptian group functioned in Egypt on their own, although they do not enjoy the official support of the rulers. They even built their own temple and continued their priestly functions in the temple. 3. The authority of the Babylonian line expands the Persian Empire with the restoration of Jerusalem and the subjugation of the Egyptian border
3.1 the Babylonian line to exile (s) at the start of the Persian Empire in 539 BC, the authority of the Babylonian line just could strengthen and the Davidic house is still recognized as the authority Judaism. Zerubbabel, the descendant of Jehoiachin by the Persian King Co
