My mistake. I didn't know Constantine was around during the time of Tertullian (150 A.D.). The things you can learn if you hang around here long enough.

I see, it would be like someone now writing about what Lincoln believed.

There sure is some revisionist history being written about that too.

It is being written by the most learned men, don't you know.

Tertullian

...he was the son of a centurion and trained as a lawyer in Rome. Following his conversion he became a presbyter in the church at Carthage, but dissociated himself from the Church after the bishop of Rome rejected the ‘New Prophecy’ of the Montanist movement.

Yeah --- I see what you mean. He for sure was a good source for sound doctrine that was accepted by Christians.
