 According to St. Augustine's  view on state , property , war and slavery said that there is no doubt of powers which are ordained by a wicked and sinful ruler has a right to full obedience. Anyone who resists “duly constituted authority” resists “the ordinance of God.” So long as the rulers do not force their subjects into impetus and a conduct which violates spiritual injunctions and the will of God, they should be obeyed without reservation.

Though on the whole St. Augustine, like all Christian thinkers of his time, believed in the doctrine of the Two Swords and the independence of the church and the state in their respective spheres, he was firmly of the view that heresy was a deadly sin and the state has a right to suppress it.

The position of St. Augustine on religious toleration and freedom of conscience was not without contradiction. The argument offered to him proved a weapon in hands of Inquisitionists later on.

Augustine’s view marked a clear departure from Aristotle’s about property and slavery. Both property and slavery, according to the saint, are contrary to original human nature. But they become necessary in the actual condition of the fallen man. In the ____ _______ ________ _________ __________ ___ _____ ________.
