| | Jews and Christians in Rome's Golden Age |
| | Among those who struggled with this diversity was the bishop of the Antioch's congregation of Christians, Ignatius, who wrote letters championing the belief in the virgin birth of Jesus and the Trinity: God as the father, God as Jesus, and God as the spirit in all things. | | | According to the Gospels (written when Christians were themselves diverging from some Judaic laws) Jesus criticized the Pharisees for their impractical attempt at exactitude. | | | Like the Montanist Christians, he believed that the Church was becoming too much of a political organization, and like the Montanists he thought that ordinary, or lay, Christians did not need a priest to intercede between them and God. |

| | The Christian Catacombs of Rome - The christians of the age of persecutions |
| | "Christians are not different because of their country or the language they speak or the way they dress. | | | They defended themselves with great strength by confuting the accusations of those crimes as being false and groundless and by producing the contents of their faith (What we believe) and describing their identity (What we are). | | | For this reason they do not commit adultery, or fornication; don't bear false witness; don't misappropriate the money they have received on deposit; don't crave for what is not due to them; honour father and mother, do good to their neighbour; and when they are appointed judges, judge rightly. |

| | Last October, a group of eleven Christians attended a pro-homosexual rally called the 'Outfest' where they displayed banners with biblical messages, sang hymns and preached from the Bible. | | | Charges were dropped against six of the 11 Christians, apparently because they were not seen quoting Scripture on the videotape, since, in this case, quoting the Bible is what constitutes the 'corpus delecti' (body of the crime). | | | The evidence I am referring to is the evidence that being a Christian in America is ALREADY a crime. |
