YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn the mid-3rd century CE, Emperor Decius ordered that everyone in the Roman Empire is to offer a sacrifice to the Roman gods. This caused a controversy among Christian communities as bunches of Christians refused to sacrifice and ended up being jailed, tortured, or executed. But was this edict specifically an anti-Christian decree? Or did Decius inadvertently stumble into a theological controversy?
