"The pagan Roman "church" founded at Nicea by the Pontiff Constantine."

You are either dense or intentionally wrong. I suspect the later. I have seen you corrected a half a dozen times on this point, yet you persist. I can only question your motives.

Constantine was NEVER a Pontiff or Pope. He was an emperor. The Pope at the time of the Council of Nicea was Saint Sylvester I.

God (not YHvH) satisfied the earlier covenants by the death and resurrection of Christ who brought the New and Everlasting Covenant.

Anyone with a passing knowledge of history
knows that
Constantine would retain the title of pontifex maximus until his death,
a title emperors bore as heads of the pagan priesthood,
Constantine was a Roman Pontiff.

The title of Pontiff is from Pergamum.

A place where Satan dwells.

12 "And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this:
13 'I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith
even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
God (not YHvH) satisfied the earlier covenants by the death and resurrection of Christ who brought the New and Everlasting Covenant.

Aha, you do accept YHvH as your G-d.
