"Finally, since the faithful have voluntarily sought membership in the Christian society they are bound to submit to its authority and obey its rulers."

Those bastards!

I don’t talk like that and I hope others don’t accuse me of saying what you said. It sure seems like you fancy profanity in expressing yourself on this forum. I can only imagine how you talk at home.

Gee, think the Apostles thought these new Christians were to submit to their authority?

Reading the letters which follow the Gospels and Acts, it would certainly seem that they felt pretty comfortable telling people what to believe and how to act and live as Christians.
