It makes no sense for, around 700 years later, an angel comes up to a random dude and says all that didn't happen.
Christianity was suppressed by the Romans but continued to spread like wildfire across Europe, Africa, and Asia. It wasn't even brought upon anyone by force except maybe the Catholic Church, but it was formed after everyone in the general region was saved.
The only reason why Islam is big in the general area is because of empire. |

Christianity was spread under the Roman Empire which ruled the parts of Europe west of the Rhine and south of the Danube. In 311 AD Constantine became a Christian and stopped oppressing the underground worship networks that existed in Rome.
It had official support and patronage. By about 500 AD, there were not many open pagans in the empire, though there was still a lot of activity, especially in the countryside, that was not very Christian in origin.
As Rome expanded so did Christianity.
Christianity was made by Paul, Jesus was a Jewish man who came to bring the Jews back to the right path.
A group of Christians captured and enslaved by the Goths wound up beginning to spread Christianity in its Arian form in the fourth and fifth centuries, with a bishop named Ulfilas translating the Bible into Gothic. Thanks to the Goths becoming part of the Hunnish Confederation with many other ethnic groups, their Christianity became fairly widespread in the barbarian world, but there was little formal organization that we know of. |

It further spread into Arabia and Eurasia under the East Roman Empire which was mostly Greek Orthodox.
Thousands of force conversions occurred and to say they didn't is ignorant.

The majority of Arab tribes were linked by trade and the African kingdoms and Arabs of Iraq were also in trade with them so Islam spread quickly from Merchants.

The Roman and Persian areas were conquered after they declared war on Islam. No force conversions occurred under the rule of Hazrat Abu Bakr most people of the cities converted after they saw how civilized the invading armies were.

| Jesus never was changing Judaism, he wanted to show the corruption which was rampant among the leading Harisees. |

| Islam is probably a big religion because it never had an inquisition against one of its countrie's religious minorities forcing them to become that religion or be tortured and killed |

| Ottomans were really the only "caliphate" to practice force conversion but they weren't really interested in Islam more or less expanding their Turkish dynasty. |

Maybe Islam but my own religion? Am I wrong that Christianity was suppressed by the Romans? No, I'm not; prior to the Roman Empire establishing Christianity as its official state religion, there were intense persecutions going on to suppress the emerging religion. Look it up because you're the one who doesn't know facts. |

| If the emperor converted to Judaism then Judaism would be a lot larger than it is today |

The person who changed Christianity from a Jewish based belief is Paul of Damascus. On his way to persecute the Christians, he claims he saw a vision from God and went on to make what you now call Christianity.
Paul was also noted to have said that he adapted and basically edited Christianity to local pagan traditions so people would accept it more easily.

"Islam is probably a big religion because it never had an inquisition against one of its countrie's religious minorities forcing them to become that religion or be tortured and killed" the berbers
"Jesus never was changing Judaism, he wanted to show the corruption which was r rampant among the leading Harisees." so christianity is a sect of judaism?
"Thousands of force conversions occurred and to say they didn't is ignorant." by europeans maybe but they are a bit of barbarians and savages perhaps there was 600 years ago to this day coptic girls young as 8 perhaps younger are being brutally and systemically forcibly converted |

In 311 AD Constantine converted to Christianity and stopped the persecution of Christians and then it established the Roman Catholic Church which is what spread the religion so far. |

Paul the Apostle: the worlds first attention hor
Seriously, he made all these new rules so his newly founded "religion" could thrive and he could become important. He was also a pharisee which basically makes him everything Jesus fought against.
That is just my opinion. |

Chaldeans not so much, they came from Ur which was were Abraham was from. |

| Rome already controlled Palestine which was why Christianity spread in Rome before Constantine but it was a very small community. |
