Justify Tertullians statement the blood of the martyrs
became the seed for the church
According to Tertullians statement, it is correct in that through the persecution of the martyrs, we were able to strongly believe in one God and worship him. Since the martyrs were persecuted because of their faith and what they believed in. In Rome for instance there was division of churches which lead to conflict over Christianity since the Roman Empire argued that the Christians were practicing immoral behaviors hence war was declared among them. Them by strongly believing in God and being controlled by the power of the Holy Spirit they spoke in tongues and proclaimed the message of God. Their faith has made the churches today to be firm on their principles and the belief in one God making Christians to strongly be religious. For example people like Paul of Neo-Caesareas hands dangled uselessly since he had forced to grip red hot iron, others theirs eyes were removed and even their legs cut off just because they believed in their religion and God all these persecution and torture did not stop them from proclaiming the word of God and their faith as well. There persistence in having Christianity as one of religion has led to development of churches today.
