Religious disagreements are essentially political. The earliest Christians had no political ambitions, the were taught to "render unto Caesar" and to place their hope in the "Kingdom of God" not an earthly kingdom. As Christians became more numerous the Romans saw them as a threat because they placed their loyalty to God above their loyalty to Rome, but eventually Rome adopted the attitude of "If you can't beat'em, join them" and the Emperor Constantine had the Roman Bishops create an paganized version of Christianity that became the official religion of Rome. Not all persecution of Christians was done by pagans though. The politically powerful Roman Church that came before the council of Nicea (called proto-orthodox by most scholars) martyred fellow Christians and destroyed their holy books in the name of "christ".

What did St. Paul write to the corinthians?
Paul wrote to the Corinthians to give instruction and admonition that would lead to solving the congregation's many problems. Some of these problems may have arisen out of a " super spiritualist " group influenced by incipient Gnostic teachings. All the problems in 1Corinthians chapters 1-14 were grounded in egocentric or self centered attitudes in contrast to self denying, Christ centered attitudes. Chapter 15 concerning the resurrection may reflect sincere misconceptions on the part of the Corinthians. Thus Paul contrasted the egocentric life with the Christocentric life, showing the mature Christian is characterized by giving, not getting.

How do bede's attitudes and beliefs color The information he provides?
Bede's attitudes and beliefs, rooted in his Christian faith and monastic background, influence his historical accounts by shaping his interpretation and presentation of events. He tends to emphasize the role of divine providence in history and highlight the contributions of Christian figures and institutions. This can lead to a somewhat biased perspective, as he prioritizes certain aspects of history that align with his religious views.
