I can see that this is no longer a thoughtful, openminded discussion. You will keep your narrow vision of history, religion and God knows what else, no matter what. When I have conflicting evidence of anything, I try to do a fairly broad study of the subject and come to some kind of conclusion. I do not rely solely on information from only one source. Now the conclusion I come up with might be erroneous, but hopefully, never ignorant.

Please reread the posts regarding the current subject and tell me where anyone has defended Constantine? Is English a second language for you?

Can you do a little research to support your allegation that Constantine started his own religion and let me know what you come up with? Please post facts - don't just spout.

Peace.

Well, in fairness to Iowegian, I'd say that I've been defending Constantine, or at least the Church's tradition of considering him to be a Saint. As I've tried to show, while he may have a lot of blood on his hands, I don't think it is easy to call him a monster when he was a warrior king and leader of state during an incredibly bloody period of Western history. His sanctification is considered to be due to the great accomplishments on behalf of the Church that God was able to accomplish through him, including the convening of the first council of Nicea and the ending of the open persecution by the state of Christians. But I agree that for now there isn't much to respond to, because I'm not seeing a lot of reasoned, rational arguments to debate. So I'm off to do chores and will check in again later.

Christ Bless!

I agree that we probably have exhausted the Constantine subject (at least for now). Can you define "the Church" as you use the term in your posts? Thanks.

Right after you prove that Luther started his own religion, which is what you posted yesterday and how this all got started. Please post facts (not RC sources and propaganda), don't just spout off.

Peace.
