The Origin of the Roman Church
The origin of the Roman Church is historically obscure. There is no indication when or by whom the church in Rome was founded. Scholars theorize the founders were part of the Diaspora (Acts 8). This church already had a worldwide reputation by the time of Paul's writing (1:8). Because Paul had been unable to visit the church, he writes a letter stating his intentions (1:13-15). There is no doubt; the author of Romans is Paul.

The Flaws of the Roman Empire

Culturally, sports like gladiatorial combat were the machines of urges to dominate, overthrow, and kill. Seneca says, "all trifling is put aside and it is pure murder." The Roman empire as a whole was built on this very principle. It does not take much to notice that the empire was built from the ideas of a long line of
