      In his book dominion he would now say that all the civilisation we have in the west comes out of christianity.... therefore 2 years either way doesnt make much difference.....

      True.

      However after the near destruction of Eastern Christianity, which has suffered the worst persecutions, from then on rose with protection from its temporal rulers.
      This effective protection ended with the conquest by Muslims, the Ottoman empire, awful conquest and ongoing persecution of remaining Christians, the horrendous staking of Hagia Sophia.

    And the different opinions and Biblical interpretations continue to this very day. Finite minds cannot, put an infinite God in whom we live and have our being in a theological box. All we asked to do is follow the WAY Jesus showed us. To love God the reason for everything and love one another. Sadly we fall short on both counts. Thank God Jesus on the cross reconcilled a fallen creation with its creator. If not fully in this age than with much remorse and regret on our behalf in the age to come. But then again only one conviction within Christianity. Faith Hope LOVE these three but LOVE most of all. After all that is the very nature of God.

He changed the day of worship from the 7th day (Sabbath) to the 1st day which He named Sunday= sun god worship, that he practiced. Interestingly enough so many call him a hero when in actuality he changed the true Hebrew Messiah into greek object of worship. And so much more.

    25 But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and left. 26 And when the wheat sprouted and produced grain, then the weeds also became evident. 27 And the slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28 And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No; while you are gathering up the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the weeds and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”
    This "Council" was a dispute about doctrine sitting before a pagan Emporer. Political power was used against the party that lost the "trial." This whole Council and all the subsequent ones are all Catholic disputes about Catholic doctrine. John Calvin was no better. It cannot possible be of the Lord to put to death other Christians because they don't bow the knee before your theology. That fact is clearly stated by the Lord Himself in Matthew 13.
    1 Corinthians 6:4-6 (NASB 2020)
    4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you anyone wise who will be able to decide between his brothers and sisters, 6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

    The reference to Socrates is puzzling, particularly since he lived and did his work several hundred years prior to the council of Nicaea. While the number of bishops in attendance of 250 to 300 is likely very accurate… the video I think made it seem like the council was more fully ecumenical than it really was. While the bishops and attendance came from a broad swot of the eastern Empire, only three or four bishops came from the west.

    4. In John 14:28, Jesus said His Father was greater than He was. Does this mean He was greater than Himself?

    WRONG! Constantine did not become a Christian by AD316 as stated in this video. He did not call for the Σύνοδος τῆς Νικαίας (Synodos tes Nikaia) or the Council of Nikaia or Nicaea because he wanted any Christian unity. His only role was to sponsor the Nicaean Council in the same way as he sponsored pagan temples and gatherings. Having just established his empire in Byzantium, he was playing a political balancing act with pagans and Christians alike in the service of the Pax Romana. His first act was to co-sponsor the Edictum Mediolanense AD 313 (Edict of Milan) with his co-emperor Licinius in order to decriminalize Christianity in pursuit of the Roman Peace. He had a Christian adviser, a priest of the Byzantine Church Eusebius of Nicomedia who was a supporter of the heretic priest Arius and his teaching that Christ was a created being, not begotten of the Father, ergo an inferior deity. Arius was refuted by the Coptic Pope of Alexandria, Alexander who called up a local council with participating bishops from Egypt who excommunicated Arius. Eusebius, being sympathetic to Arius, referred the matter to Constantine who sent a letter to both Alexander and Arius to settle their dispute and reconcile, and volunteered to sponsor the council that deposed and anathemized Arius and his followers. Despite the pleadings of his saintly mother, Helena, Constantine continued his frivolous life while supporting both Christians and pagans. It was only some few hours before his death that Constantine received Baptism from Eusebius of Nicomedia. So technically, he was baptized a Byzantine Catholic, not a Roman Catholic - being a resident of Byzantium and baptized by a Byzantine priest in 22 May 337.

Further, Constantine erred on the side of Arianism.

      @@OzCrusader You are right that Constantine "meddled" in some Church affairs for his advantage, i.e. for mere political popularity. But having been raised in a pagan background, he never meddled with their doctrines and practices. While the Council of Nicaea was about the Divine Nature of Christ, he attended only its first session, was given a place of honor, but never more appeared having no knowledge of what they were talking about. Yes, he built some of their Churches and donated basilicas to be used as their Churches, most probably to please her Christian mother, Helena. It is highly possible that he adapted Arianism, having been taught by Arius' friend, Eusebius of Nicomedia, his close adviser.

      ​@@JoseMariadeManila-g3f Your history is way out of line. Constantine had an advisor, christian bishop, Hossius of Cordoba, since the time he became emperor. It's very provable, almost certain the he received a baptism in secret at the same time.

      @JoseMariadeManila-g3f 3 місяці тому +7

      ​@@Nepoznat811 - Bishop Hosius of Cordoba was never a close-in adviser to Constantine. It has always been the Byzantine priest, Eusebius of Nicomedia who was instrumental in soliciting the support of Constantine in hosting the Council at Nikaia or Nicene for the sake of his heretic friend Arius, the promoter of the heresy that erroneously taught that Jesus was a created deity, inferior to the Father. Constantine's home and imperial palace was situated in Constantinople, Byzantium (present day Istanbul), where the Church who had jurisdiction was the Byzantine Catholic Church that St Andrew founded. Hence it makes more sense to engage a Byzantine priest in Eusebius as the "chaplain" for his Legions rather than a priest of the Latin Church in Hosius of Cordoba. This Cordovan bishop was instrumental though in presiding over the Nicaean Council with Pope Alexander of the Coptic Church of Egypt which concluded with the deposition and exile of Arius away from Constantinople. Eusebius was there until his deathbed, administering the Mystery of Baptism to the dying emperor. Eusebius in fact succeeded Arius as the Patriarch of Constantinople and tried to influence the successor emperor Constantius II to pressure Hosius to withdraw support of the Coptic Patriarch Athanasius. But orthodoxy gave him the fortitude and courage to oppose his imperial interference into Church affairs which brought him to exile to Sirmium (Serbia). I understand it has been a futile effort among some evangelicals to twist the history on Constantine in order to attribute to him the foundation of the Roman Catholic Church. Too bad! He was no Roman Catholic even if he was a Roman citizen. He was de facto a Byzantine Catholic just a few hours before he passed away, as baptized by a heretic Byzantine priest, Eusebius of Nicomedia.

    The three basic things that came out of the Nicene consul... are the benefits that have never changed.
    1. Dispelled foundational catholic heresy and rooted it out.... Arius and his heresy spouting confederates took their greazy butts right across the hall and established the basics of the roman catholic bishopric the same year.
    2. Codified 66 books written by 40 different authors as sola scriptura - they kept the text that were anointed, and rejected the pseudo apocrypha - If it wasn't affirmed in scripture, Anointed by the holy spirit as bejng led.. then it was rejected.
    3. Got Constantine II to further scale back Diocletian era anti christian prohibitions.

    Constantine had no strong opinion on the doctrinal issues. His wife was a follower of Arius but the main thing Constantine wanted was a unified position on what a Christian believed. As the Emperor he was tired of the various Bishops and believers coming to him and complaining about others with different beliefs. While Constantine did not voice an opinion he informed the attendees they could not leave without coming to a consensus and that it must be written down and made available throughout the Empire. This is how we came to have the Nicaean Creed. The Nicaean Creed became such a foundational part of the Christian Church that when the Church in Rome altered it in 1054 to add that the Holy Spirt came from the Father and Son ( it originally said the Spirit came from just the Father) the Eastern Church split from Rome because they contended the Council was inspired by God and changing the wording was contradicting God!
