Aspect of Religion

If religion is Elyon/Yeshua's Truth, how come the church and the state have become such comfortable bedfellows? Yeshua asked his followers to fallow in his foot steps (willing to dies for the Truth) did he not? Was the teachings of the True Gospel stamped out as heresy or was Yeshua lying about the tribulations of those who uphold his Truth? http://www.earlychurch.org.uk/article_montanism.html#68
