Constantine

Constantine of Constantinople was a Roman Emperor. He ruled from 306 to 337 A.D. The city of Constantinople was named after Constantine. (Constantinople is modern day Istanbul, Turkey)

There are few records on Constantine life or rule of his Empire. He is a very controversial figure in history! Since there are not many records about Constantine we have to piece together world history events to figure out many question about his rule.

Constantine is most famous for presiding over the Council of Nicea in 325 and 327 A.D. The issues that where debate over where

1. The divinity of Jesus Christ - The Arian Controversy.

This topic relates to if Jesus Christ was the Son of Man or if he was the Son of GOD? In the life time of Jesus Christ and some of his early follows after his death except the position that Jesus was born a man child and not the son of GOD!

2. The next question was how would they organize the lose bands of unorganized Christians within the empire.

3. Which books would be used as the cannon of the Roman Catholic Church to support their beliefs and opinions about Christ and Catholicism. Which books would be banned from the use of Christians!

TIP:
Some of the books that were banned was the books of Enoch (Henoch), Maccabees, book of James the Just (Justice) - which is Jesus Christ brother. The book by Mary Magdalene.

*This stands out as the most oddest of all Peter, which was a disciple of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ right hand man "the rock which i will build my church". Also one of the (12) twelve Apostles, who is also a Saint! The Vatican Church was built on a hill where Peter was crucified up- side down! He is also the first Pope of the Roman Catholic Church not Constantine! Peter wrote books called the Revelations of Peter I and II were not put into the Holy Bible we know today!!! Why ??? (please read and research for self its very deep, prepare yourself  before reading)*         

NOTE:
Before the Roman Empire made the Roman Church / Vatican the Holy Capitol for Christian, the Holy land had been in Ancient Kemet (Ancient Egypt) the birth place of the pre- concept  of what we know as Christianity. (The Osiris Belief System).

To some Constantine is a hero to others the devil himself!
Lets take a quick look a Constantine position as Emperor of Roman.

The Emperor of / The Holy Roman Empire was regard as God on Earth to all the citizens, slaves and subjects of the Empire. Any one who did not except this edict was sentence to death!
So this means until 313 A.D. at the co- signing of the Edict of Milan by Roman Emperors Constantine and Licinius, Christians were still being killed for their beliefs in Jesus Christ and not the Emperor of Roman was GOD!
For over 300 years Christians had been prosecuted for their beliefs!

NOTE:
Know we will examine the political move behind, allowing Christians to practice Christianity publicly?

1. The Roman government could not stop the Christian movement within the empire, which presented a number of problems for Emperor. This directly challenge his legitimacy to rule over the people of Roman, because Jesus Christ was the son of GOD! Which meant the Emperor could not be GOD!

2. The next problem most people do not know is that at this time the Roman Empire had been divide up by different co- ruling Emperors within the empire. All of these Emperors would love nothing more than to rule over all of the Roman Empire by himself! So this meant there were many power struggles within the Roman Empire between the different Emperors. If a Emperor could not control his subjects this would be consider a sign of weakness, and the others might attack him!

3. They need a better way to control the people without force and killing them. Religion was good for mind control purpose, especially a religion built on lies! That would also generate unbelievable amounts of wealth also!

Rumor says that Constantine did not except Christianity truly until on his death bed! It is rumored Constantine said " what do I have to lose by excepting Christianity now? Am about to die anyway"!

peace, love and unity
