The church in -1AD: “Jesus is a threat to our society! We have to do something about him.”

The church in 1AD: “What an amazing person Jesus was, join us in singing songs about him.”

It’s easy to praise a revolutionary mind after they’re no longer a threat to your status quo.

-1AD? So 1BC, which is before jesus was born? Do you mean ~33AD and ~34AD? Also, the church would not have been condemning Jesus as it was established after his death. You might be thinking of a Synagogue and pre-Christian Judaiism.

C'mon bro you know they mean the state-sanctioned religion before and after Jesus.

Still, you'd have to wait until ~300 AD for Christianity to become popular with the state

Christians were heavily persecuted until around 312 with Emperor Constantine. Next time, if they want to say that, they should instead of saying it wrong in a roundabout way.

dates were wrong, but heart's in the right place.

Dates and name is wrong, a Jewish temple has never been called a church.
