Sedition
In the early Church, kings and emperors were looked upon as political parents, whose authority and majesty were reputed sacred and supreme under God. All disloyalty or disrespect shown them, either in word or action, was always severely chastised by the laws of the Church. For the first three hundred years, Christians gloried over the heathens in this, that though the emperors were heathen, and some of them furious persecutors of the Christians, yet there were never any seditious or disloyal persons to be found among them. The fourth Council of Carthage forbids the ordination of any seditious person. The fourth Council of Toledo orders all clergymen that took up arms in any sedition to be degraded from their order, and to be confined to a monastery to do penance all their lives. See Bingham Antiq. of the Christ. Church, p. 985 sq.

Sedition
“a dissension, an insurrection,” is translated “sedition” in Act 24:5, AV (RV, “insurrections”). See DISSENSION, INSURRECTION.
lit., “a standing apart” (dicha, “asunder, apart,” stasis, “a standing”), hence “a dissension, division,” is translated “seditions” in Gal 5:20, AV. See DIVISION, No. 2.
“to excite, unsettle,” or “to stir up to sedition,” is so translated in Act 21:38, RV (AV, “madest an uproar”); in Act 17:6, “have turned (the world) upside down,” i.e., “causing tumults;” in Gal 5:12, RV, “unsettle” (AV, “trouble”), i.e., by false teaching (here in the continuous present tense, lit., “those who are unsettling you”). The word was supposed not to have been used in profane authors. It has been found, however, in several of the papyri writings. See TURN, UNSETTLE.
