The Foundation of the Church
From the burning sands of Alexandria to the very heart of Rome,
Tirelessly working, with faith and diligence.
The first apostles put all their being to spread the Word of God.
Across the whole Empire,
Gentiles and Jews alike accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Meanwhile many others started to see this new movement as a direct threat to their belief.
The Perfect Scapegoat
July 18, 64 AD, hellfire is consuming 10 out of 14 districts of Rome.
For six days the city was being bathed in flames.
Emperor Nero, whom many believed to be the source of this catastrophe,
Quickly pointed his vindicative finger at the first Christians.
None were spared,
and leading figures like Peter and Paul were among the first to lay down their life for their faith.
At the same time, discord was brewing within the nascent Church.
Ideas like Gnosticism promoted by Valentinus, Docetism introduced by Marcion or the infamous Arian theory by Arius, flourished and began to twist the original apostles’ teaching.
But persecutions did not stop.
On the contrary, Emperor Domitian from the Flavian dynasty saw Christianity as an existential menace to Roman values and religious practices.
Few decades later, Emperor Decius passed an edict making ritual sacrifices to the Roman gods mandatory,
bringing death and misery to anyone who did not oblige.
One of his successors, Emperor Diocletian pushed it even further,
spearheading the “Great Persecution”, which intensified hostilities across the entire Roman Empire.
Much blood was spilled, and many saints met their end on the sands of the colosseum.
But the word of God did not stop spreading,
and something big was about to shake the world,
a succession of events that would shape history forever.
Divine Revelation
October 27, 312 AD.
Emperor Constantine is prepping to face his bitter rival Maxentius, when suddenly! Divine revelation.
A cross descended from the sky, engulfed with searing lights with the Latin words “In Hoc Signo Vinces” meaning “In this sign, you will conquer” engraved in it.
That’s not all – Christ himself then appeared to the emperor, personally instructing him to paint the Chi Rho (an early Christian symbol) on his soldier’s shield.
The following day, with this heavenly mandate upon him, Constantine and his forces marched on Milvian bridge.
The result? A crushing victory upon his foes.
To cement it, the young emperor paraded his former rival’s head through the street of Rome.
But it wasn’t enough, so he ordered the construction of a majestic arch next to the legendary Colosseum.
The Arch of Constantine.
A testament to his victory that still stands today, a symbol of his newfound faith.
The following year, the edict of Milan was passed, granting Christians the freedom to openly practice their faith – Effectively ending centuries of persecution.
That’s not all, in an effort to unite the church, he summoned the Elders from every corner of the empire to deal with the “Arian controversy”.
A meeting that would be called, the Council of Nicaea.
His crowning achievement? The relocation of the capital to the city of Byzantium.
A city that he would rename Constantinople, and would become a beacon of Christian faith for over a thousand years.
At last, every great story must have its closure.
As the beloved Emperor was living his final moments, his trusted advisor Eusebius of Nicomedia baptized him, making Constantine the very first Roman Emperor to accept Christ.
Christian Champion or Pagan worshipper?
A true champion of Christian faith who served Christ and ended a century long oppression cycle.
That’s what we’re told about Constantine “The Great”.
But is it entirely true? Was he really totally devoted to the God of Abraham?
Or did he merely use this new religious movement to strengthen his hold on a divided empire?
When we take a closer look, there are some pretty alarming details that stand out.
I mean, would a true Christian parade his brother-in-law’s head through the city square?
Yes, you heard that right, Maxentius was the brother of Constantine’s wife.
But what about the Arch? It was made as a testament to Christ’s mandate, right?
Think again! There is zero Christian iconography on it.
No cross, no Chi Rho, no nothing… On the other hand, we got:
This sounds pretty intriguing, I know.
But he received a vision of Christ, right? So, does it really matter?
Well, here is the catch – Early source mention that Constantine talked about receiving a sign from Apollo, the Sun God.
Nothing about Jesus or the Father prior to 320/330 AD, almost a decade after the battle.
No wonder the Arch is filled with Sun God and pagan symbols…
What about Constantinople?
Well, the most impressive monument he built there was the “Column of Constantine” in 328, 3 years after Nicaea.
And guess what? it had a towering Apollo-like statue of Constantine, wearing a Mithraic solar crown on top of it…
Coupling that with all the pagan temple dedicated to himself that popped left and right, some sponsored by the Emperor himself!
Is it safe to ask ourselves if this “Savior of Christianity” truly believed in God or believe to be one himself?
I mean, he did execute his wife and son after all…
Cult of the Sun God
Despite these speculations, one fact remains.
Life became easier for Christians, and Constantine stance is what led Christianity to become the official religion of the Roman Empire.
The question we should have instead is – Did his pagan belief corrupt the initial message of Christ?
Well, have you heard of syncretism?
It’s a practice that involves modifying religious dogmas to match local cultural beliefs.
By doing this, you basically tailor the message to the population to convert them.
Kind of what some churches do today by being pro-LGBTQ and such.
It might have happened with Constantine.
Remember his obsession with Apollo?
Well, at the time there were 2 other important religious movement in the empire.
The mysterious cult of Mithras, an eastern Sun God.
He was often wearing a Phrygian cap secretly worshipped by the high strata of society, most notably the military.
And the Cult of Sol or Sol Invictus, introduced by Emperor Aurelian in 274 AD, that mixed different element from Greek and Mithraism.
Other practices like the one introduced by Elagabalus during his brief reign most likely got assimilated but quickly died out.
Now let’s see some parallels between these cults and today’s Christianity.
Now here are some other pagan influences that mixed themselves with Christianity:
Now the scriptures are clear: “You shall have no other gods before me” and “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.” (Exodus 20).
Plus, Jesus himself told us in Matthew 15.3 when confronting the pharisees “Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?”
So, shall we compromise his teaching to attract more people to him? Or should we purely follow the Gospel revealed to us by our Lord Christ?

RELIGION
Are we talking about divine revelation? Or merely following the earthly desires of men?
Let’s rip off the veil and uncover what lies behind modern religions.
Are you ready to challenge your belief?
NEW WORLD ORDER
One religion, one government, One culture.
The Rulers of this World are clearly aiming to uniformize everything.
Are they doing what’s best for us? Or leading us to eternal damnation?
THE WORLD
What is a woman? That’s today’s biggest mystery.
Not surprising when most folks gorge on anti-depressant, eat bugs and start identifying as lawnmowers…
How far as humanity fallen? And who is behind this satanic agenda?
THE OCCULT
Atheism is growing today.
While practices like Yoga, Reiki and Astrology are more popular than before.
But where did they come from?
And how did the World become so spiritual?
