Romes Truce with the Church
Church HistorySteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses Rome's relationship with the Church during different periods in history, beginning with the persecution of Christians under Valerian and ending with Constantine's role in establishing Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. Gregg highlights the intrusive nature of Constantine's involvement in church affairs, arguing that the emperor's legacy ultimately resulted in the infiltration of non-Christians into the Church. He emphasizes the importance of a changed heart and total surrender to Jesus as the foundation for true Christianity, instead of relying on legislative action or government support.
