@Tao_Equus I am trying to keep away from such things as this is a christain forum.

@I, Brian I found this about what you are talking about, here at http://abacus.bates.edu/~mimber/Rciv/christianity.htm Another difficult aspect of early christian history for the Roman historian is the evaluation of persecutions. We know that emperors on occasion instituted policies of...

In 30The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead—whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. It would seem that he is saying that the priests killed him and in 28"We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are...

27Having brought the apostles; they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 28"We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood." 29Peter...

@Quahom1 I am sorry if I quoted your opinion even in the small error, it was not my intention to do so. Its just that everytime I search for any stuff on the bible or government it always seems to refer to Rome.

Thanks will reread China Cat Sunflower.

I was reading through exodus and the Ten Commandments, but as I had started reading I kept going. In 32 they are making the golden calf at 32:19 Moses breaks the tablets. But in 34 and the new stone tablets another list appears. (This is taken from an online source to save me typing)...

Romans 13:1-7 was written at a time when the Roman government ruled and must importantly had just recently put Jesus Christ to death by hanging from a tree/crucifixion. Also as was touched on before, the Roman government was not a democracy and oppressed many people in many of the different...

@Dor Sorry Dor I see where you are comming from now, I took it to mean the future in general.

I have just joined and the first post I made I found out that no links could be used. I had to cut and paste a lot of text to each post I made because of this but I understand that you needed to put the feature in because of spam. So long as the poor ppl in this forum can put up with my long...

I've skimmed it, but haven't completely read any particlar book.

@Quahom1 Thank you for such a quick reply, could you explain why you believe this futher and how it fits with the view that the bible puts forward? In what form do you see conflict (like for example today, say with intelligent design and intelligent falling in the courts/schools and science...

I have some idea about what I, Brian is saying but I have not a clue what tianman32 is saying lol. I must admit tianman32 went well above my head. Know any good books for physics and mathematics?

@Dor Bible seems to mention not to worry about the future and not to seek material things. Matthew 6:24 seems to talk about greed and that you can only follow god or money and 25-34 seems to tell us not to worry as god will provide what we need. Matthew 6:19-34 (New International Version)...

So this would then have nothing to do with separation of Church and State or with Church and State. Thxs for the reply.

I know that there was an interest in the issues of prayer, Church and State. Below are some things I read from the bible about it. Any views on the subject would be helpful. I am non-christian, so hopefully this does not offend anyone here. Bible talks of Church and State: Matthew 22:21, Mark...
