Zealots were a political/philosophic movement in first century (what I call) Israel. They were (if I can put it this way) a sort of uncouth bunch who thought the only way to free themselves from Roman rule was to oppose the Romans with force.
That was their platform. They did not take into account that the Roman's were a huge military power that was ruthless when antagonized. As these things go, Rome was a pretty good ruler. At least they knew the difference between meaningful opposition and tolerance of differences.
The zealots did not see Rome that way. They believed that any interference was too much interference.
That's when Rome got upset and the first Jewish War of 65 AD or so began. It was like sticking your arm in a hornet's nest. The Zealots had gained the largely unwelcome wrath of Rome. The zealots were unlucky (in a way). If they had picked a time that a warrior/emperor was not leader, their opposition may have evaporated. It would be like hitting a marshmallow. Rome may have considered it an internal affair. They had up to this point. Even though some of the Pharisee priests supported the Zealots, the alliance was destroyed by the unwillingness to negotiate further.
Anyone who is really dedicated can be termed a Zealot in modern times. I am using the term to describe someone that is Zealous. You could look up Galatians 1:11 - 14 to see how Paul used the term. This connection between Paul and Jewish leaders (including Zealots) is really hotly debated. It's another hornet's nest.
Answer:
Correct answer is d. Salvation did not depend on membership in a single church.
Explanation:
D is correct answer because the Great Awakening started as an answer to lack of Church authority. That is why it was believed that it is not important to which church someone belongs to to be saved.
A is not correct because they insisted on spiritual introspection.
B is not correct because Great Awakening has no connection with the role of government, but of church, although they are discussing about secularism.
C is wrong because salvation depends on redemption, not generosity.
The answer is letter A. Begin funding a large amount of
money for peace time military counter against aggression. The World War II and
Cold War had been the two significant events for the US government. The US had
tried to stop the spreading of Communism and thus ended up going to war with
ally countries in order to contain it.
