Quote from the article:
“Frankly, it is not a stretch to suggest that Constantine was like Satan offering the Church the whole world and the dominion thereof, as long as they did his bidding, and the Church said, “That sounds like a good deal.””
Actually it is a tremendous stretch because the exact opposite happened. Constantine tried to dominate the Church after Nicaea, and the Church resisted.
“Actually it is a tremendous stretch because the exact opposite happened. Constantine tried to dominate the Church after Nicaea, and the Church resisted.”
Vlad is absolutely right, DKC, as I have noted elsewhere. This is a particularly pernicious falsehood which seems to have deeply rooted itself in various American ecclesial groups. As dangus noted, it is an argument which simply ruins whatever else of value might be lurking in a writing.
Ditto...see above.
