And then he turns around and he starts to rip down the infanticide walls with his bare hands, literally tearing down the high places.
This guy is like Gideon, OK, incarnate.
And then he turns around.
with his bloodied hands after tearing down the infanticide walls alley in front of his congregation and he says this blood for their blood he died shortly after that and then in 374 shortly after his death emperors valentinian and theodosius issued edicts for the first time in human history
banning infanticide and giving legal protection to babies.
It was the first time in human history anything like that had ever happened in 374.

Could it be, could it be that it was pastors living their faith in action, tearing down the high places of baby killing that were destroying families and children that led to Rome?
protecting children for the first time in human history.
Could that have prepared the way for Rome embracing the teachings of Christ?
