The Roman empire was very barbaric in their practices. The government officials could do whatever they wanted and they answered to no one.

Quote:


Matthew 14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus 2 and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.” 3 For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 4 Because John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 And although he wanted to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

6 But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod. 7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

8 So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter.”

9 And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her. 10 So he sent and had John beheaded in prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12 Then his disciples came and took away the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.



Herod has John's head cut off and then it is brought in on a platter and given to the daughter and she carries it to her mother.

Was her mother that offended that she would have someones head brought in on a platter. Herod could murder someone anytime he wanted and no one said a word.

A different man named Herod has hundreds of male children that were two years old and younger put to death. No one says a word. The Romans were barbaric and answered to no one.

Herods wife was highly offended because someone mentioned her sinful practices.

Makes you wonder if people today when they hear certain things are wrong or sinful if they have this same attitude in their hearts. Maybe this is why society as a whole keeps acting like there is nothing wrong with this sin or that sin.

The problem is Christians are not the ones who made the rules we just tell them what God thinks about their wickedness and that He will forgive and forget whatever sins they have been practicing.

All John said was: It is not lawful that you should have her. Herod's brothers wife, took great offense at these words.
