any idea how the roman state was back then?
And yet Rome eventually accepted Christianity.
when was this?
Became the official religion of the Roman Empire in 381. But that didn't just happen. Christianity was growing in the Empire from the Day of Pentecost, A.D. 33.
381 was around the same time it was coopted. chomsky says first 3 centuries it was radical pacifist religion. in the 4th century it was taken over by the roman empire and it became the religion of hte persecutors, the rich, the powerful. he says it remained that way for pretty much the rest of its history.

Was there corruption in the Church hierarchy that developed? Absolutely. You'd be wrong that it's like that everywhere and only the few that see it your way got it right.
i think he means typically it was corrupted after the 3 century but of course you can find good interpretations of it.
notice how it only became the official religion of the state after it was coopted
I could say the sky is blue and you'd say Chris Hedges told you different. Honestly there's not much point talking to you. Have a good one.
i want you to say how christianity changed from 2nd century to 5th century.
You want me to say how it was everywhere? Keep in mind there wasn't a collected Bible yet. There wasn't mass communications. You're trying to apply modern sensibilities to a very, very different world. And the Church wasn't an in your face, protesting the government body.
you should know the history of the bible.
how was the roman state back then 100 years after the bible was invented? i bet it was very violent compared to the bible.
for example i know the rich further corrupted it in america maybe 150 years ago or so.

Its Too bad you don’t understand anything about Christianity or the Bible.

and it's too bad you continue to bastardize Christianity as if you have something positive for the rest of us who are already saved and walk with Christ.
If the world is going to hell how do you know you're saved
Think i do
