Jesus spelt out the relationship of Christianity to the state very clearly when he said:And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesars, and unto God the things which be Gods. (Luke 20:25).In other words, the government was to take care of the material needs of the people, and the kingdom of Christ the spiritual.The Western LEG of the Roman Empire completely ignored this plain teaching of the Scriptures, and sought to unite Christianity and the state, with the Popes completely dominating both.Here is a quote from the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX:55. The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church. —Allocution Acerbissimum, Sept. 27, 1852. (Condemned as error).The Eastern Emperors did not claim to take the place of God Almighty on earth, and totally dominate the state as the Western Emperors or Popes.
