146:1.1 The small [[city]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimmon Rimmon] had once been [[dedicated]] to the [[worship]] of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_religion Babylonian god] of the air, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramman Ramman]. Many of the earlier Babylonian and later [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism Zoroastrian] teachings were still [[embraced]] in the [[beliefs]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimmon Rimmonites]; therefore did [[Jesus]] and the twenty-four [[devote]] much of their time to the task of making plain the [[difference]] between these older [[beliefs]] and the new [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]].

It is [[difficult]] to [[convert]] [[nature]] [[worshipers]] to the full fellowship of the [[adoration]] of a [[spiritual]] [[ideal]] during the short space of a single lifetime.
146:1.3 Many of the better of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_religion Babylonian] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism Persian] ideas of [[light]] and [[darkness]], [[good]] and [[evil]], [[time]] and [[eternity]], were later incorporated in the [[doctrines]] of so-called [[Christianity]], and their inclusion rendered the Christian teachings more [[immediately]] acceptable to the peoples of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_East Near East].
