History

5 0

Answer: To covert the Natives

Explanation:

The influence of the Catholic church in the Americas today is quite evident as it is considered the single largest religious organization in the North and South Americas.

This is as a result of the Catholic church sending Priests and Nuns to settle in various parts of the Americas.The purpose of this was to bring the Catholic message closer to the people as the Catholics sent were to live with the people and learn their language and culture as there were so many languages in the area. They were to teach them agriculture and help them medically whilst preaching the gospel.

What emerged was the conversion of millions of natives to Christianity such that a person's life could be controlled by the church from birth to death making the Catholic church almost as powerful as the colonial powers themselves.

What allowed humans to make progress from hunter-gatherers to the ancient civilizations of the old world???
pshichka [43]

Answer:

I would say what was most important would be the adoption of agriculture. Humans no longer had to move around and spend their days solely focusing on finding food. Being able to settle down and make one's own food allowed humans to have free time, and create hierarchies and languages and art, creating societies and civilization.

Explain the significance of Palestine, the covenant, and monotheism to Judaism and the Hebrew people.
kogti [31]
OK, let's look at them in order: Monotheism - this is the belief that there is <span>only one G-d. Judaism was the first organised faith to be Monotheistic, and to </span>insist that followers remain loyal to and worship only the one true G-d, and Explain the significance of Palestine the covenant and monotheism to Judaism and the Hebrew people?nothing and nobody else. This was in stark contrast to the many Pagan and <span>Mystery religions around at the time, which featured multiple deities. 

</span>Covenant: - Abraham, the 'founder' of Judaism, made an eternal covenant with God, on behalf of his descendants. The covenant, or contract, states that God will protect and watch over the Jews, if they remain loyal to him and only him. If they did that, G-d promised to bless them and to create from them 'great nations'. Palestine - this region was named JUDEA and it was the home of the <span>Jews. Then the Romans conquered it and renamed it 'palestina' after the </span>sea-faring Philistines, who had long since vanished. Although most of the Jews were then dispersed across the globe, some remained in the region and have lived there, continuously for the past 3000 years. The nation that we call Israel today is a tiny sliver of the region. Israel is the national, religious and spiritual home of the Jews. It is vital to Jewish people to have a safe Israel, because history has shown that whenever Jews are the minority in other countries, they have suffered terribly. So we must have one tiny corner of the <span>globe where we determine our own security and fate.</span>
