I have a particular perspective, I'd like to expand on wiggle room where it says in the OP's Scripture, "Do" these things. Wasn't the Bride of Christ presented without Fault in Revelation a New Israel? Many people draw upon Greece and Ancient history, especially those trying to leave the Catholic Church's bubble, like myself. It is in fact a more intellectual and sophisticate timeperiod! The Byzantine Emperors were sometimes Monosophites, Miasyphites, the Iconoclasts share a name with the Actions of the Protestant Reformation! Down with these Icons, we invest in images, an unusual practice.
Empress Theodora is a Saint in the Orthodox Church! Empress Theodora was a co-ruler with Justinian. She oversaw women's rights in the Church and the new Hagia Sophia, center of Christianity. The trouble was enforcing their decrees in far places like Egypt, Armenia, or Persia, as we see, with the Coptics, Monosyphites, and Nestorians. Empress Theodora was co-Ruler with Justinian. How did she get that way from working in a Brothel?! A poor slave-classed woman working in a brothel whos mother was a dancer. We can see Emperor Justinian Married this woman, he Must be a fan of the Parables, such as, "He that Casts the First Stone", after making this adultress, this prostitute and brothel dancer, the Co-Ruler of the Empire, forgiven, onto himself, he outlawed Adultery in the Empire. We should note then, the pre-divisional example, the world-wide Christian example, that the Byzantines tried to make before the haughtiness of the Popes and divisional politics. John 8
