Constantine and the Triumph of Christianity Trinity, it was HIS luck BECAUSE 98 %BIBLE TRANSILATIONS CONVERT ONENESS OF THE CREATOR YAHUAH TO THREE IMAGES TRINITY FATHER SON SPIRIT . STILL THAT Pre- anti missiahs ideas are valuable father ......son .....so and so Yes for us YAHUAH IS MORE THAN FATHER , SON AND SPIRIT>>> YES HE IS OUR CREATOR - he is alone nobody with him IAM THAT IAM=Yahuah Constantine killed messanic faith and brought satanic Pagan greek babylonian sun worship system s all over the world Constantine embraced Christianity, he continued to worship the sun the way many pagans did. Without doubt, Constantine and Constantinople in the generation after Diocletian, Constantine (ca. 285-337 CE) came to power. He was the first Roman emperor to embrace Christianity and first pope no peter—that much at least is clear, even if little else about Constantine is—but as a man hes a historical enigma, and a great deal of conflicting information surrounds this imperial paradox, the primordial Christian general. Constantine was born the illegitimate son of a Roman ruler but was later made his fathers heir. As a child he grew up in the Roman West, yet he later preferred the Hellenized East and, in fact, moved the center of Roman government there, where he built a grand new capital named after himself, Constantinople (Constantines city). Furthermore, during his tumultuous rise to power he fomented civil war on the pretext of re-uniting Rome and, even after hed embraced Christianity, he continued to worship the sun the way many pagans did. Without doubt, one of historys most important transitional figures, this conundrum of a man seems to have been constantly in the process of transformation himself. Constantine: In Hoc Signo Vince What matters to the issue at hand here is that he converted to some sort of Christianity at some point during his life. The story goes that hed had a vision of the cross before one of the crucial battles in the civil wars that brought him to power, and on that cross was written in hoc signo vince, With this ensign, conquer! So, according to later legend, hed appended it to his royal insignia and thus Christianity had at last won itself a winning emperor. But close examination of the historical evidence from the day muddies the waters considerably, suggesting this is an invented history since its confirmed only long after the fact and then by sources with a direct interest in promoting the emperors allegiance to Christian belief. The truth is, Constantine was only finally baptized on his deathbed, and his biography hardly constitutes a model of the good Christian life. Whatever the what-really-happened, this emperors adoption of Christianity stopped once and for all the persecution of MESSIANCS in the West. If, in issuing the Edict of Milan in 313, Constantine did not go so far as to declare Rome a Christian state, he did enforce a policy of official neutrality in Christian affairs. Under his regime, Messisnicss were free at last to speak as themselves in public without fear of reprisal or torture and, more important, to worship as they wished. It was surely his hope that the Edict of Milan and a general posture of tolerance would help restore order within the government and the state. Just the opposite happened. By sanctioning Christianity, Constantine quickly learned that he had made himself an important figure in the Church and, like any influential board member, he was now obliged to give his advice on matters of consequence which, as it turned out, were all there seemed to be in this religion. The Christian Church in his day was, in fact, boiling over with controversy, and Constantine—much to his surprise and, no doubt, dismay—found himself having to render judgment about complex theological issues. If anyone ever in history was poorly prepared or ill-equipped to debate the nature of the Trinity, it was this lucky bastard.
