Bible Note: Hello MJH, This is well done--thank you. As an aside, I question one part: "While a Roman could be a member of the 'Assembly of the LORD' (ie. church in the New Testament) yet remain a Roman citizen..." I disagree only because Paul states that "our citizenship is in heaven" (Phil 3:20). Therefore the status of the Christian is as a sojourner (or resident alien) but not citizen. I see Paul's own use of Roman citizenship when arrested as more to hold the Roman guards accountable to their own laws rather than claiming something for himself. Steve |
