Over the years, kings, countries and individuals have claimed that God is on their side in some conflict or struggle. We see this all through history, and even in the events of today. Does God choose sides in these kinds of situations? Does God remain neutral in conflicts? Just how does this work?
In the first century, people from both Jewish and pagan religious backgrounds were being added to this new church of Christ followers. In their former religions, they had traditions which they observed. The question became, then, what do we do in our new faith? Jesus and the apostles (by the Holy Spirit) passed down the "traditions" to the early church, and we still have them to follow today.
