Jesus dies early in life.

What if Jesus died early in life, be it a disease or outright killed for some reason? Obviously, no Christianity, but how would the other Abrahamic religions spread without Christianity? Also, would a religion like Christianity (Son of God idea) ever develop?
 
The other abrhamic religions, Islam might well be butterflied, and Judiasm the Romans probably say fuck this shit and slaughter.enslave them all after another Jewish revolt in the holy lands.
 
If Jesus died earlier than he did by being killed, then His ministry would have started earlier thus allowing Him to complete it in His crucifixition, then subsequent resurrection. Jesus couldn't die unless He permitted it.

That kind of talk assumes that Jesus was an ASB. The way that the original question was formed it appears to go with the most plausible scenario that Jesus was an ordinary human being. Thus, your response makes no sense in relation to the question. (But then a lot of things said about Jesus make no sense.)

It's not a crime, but if your not gonna contribute to a thread without crying: "Hez Jezuz!!!! God's Sun!!!!!!! Hez teh Messiah." Then leave the thread alone. Plz!

Damned fucking straight! :D
So whose with me on the no Islam?

<_<

Jesus is quite important in Islam. You'd see some offshoot of Judaism, but it wouldn't be remotely recognizable to the Islam of our TL. Though, it'd be cool to see if Zoroastrianism takes the world instead..
 
True about Islam
but Zoas nah that sounds ASB, I see paganism staying a major power the Jews probably revolt once or twice more causing Rome to bulk up for a bit longer and with Christianity there aren't major internal rifts over it, Judiasism probably gets culled and enslaved and well thats the more or less end of monotheisim.
 
If Christianity remained as some eastern minority cult, I guess the Empire would retain it's universal Polytheism. I've personally never believed this bullshit about the Roman Gods were "going out of fashion". The whole nature of polytheism tends to merge with others of it's kind, enriching each other. I suppose that some organization would emerge to formally unify all the temples and cults. There was no conflicting sects of polytheists, like we saw between the Catholic and Arian Christians. And even after the fall of the empire in the west occurs, I think we'd have the Goths, Vandals, Burgundians, Suevi, Alans, and Franks mostly adopt the Romanized system of polytheism as well as their Latin language and customs, while the Eastern Romans persist for another thousand years with their Hellenic polytheism, until either the Zoroastrian Persians or Turks from the east, or the Latinized westerners bring them down.:)
 
For the record, I am a practicing Catholic, but I still wonder, from a historical and religious sense, if Jesus died early in life. For the purpose of this thread, assume that God, if you so choose to believe in him as I do, chose to just let it play out.
