He just sucks up and regurgitates a pile of garbage that was shown to be fabrications and lies a long time ago. People who cannot even accept the entire Scripture Christ and the Apostles preached are marketers of whatever sells, not authorities on Christianity other than the Self Worship a great many people substitute for following Christ.

Those who are Christian accept what Christ Himself said rather than twisting it to suit their own preferences. Scripture like:

Matthew 26:26 "And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body."

Mark 14:22 "And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke, and gave to them, and said: Take ye. This is my body."

Luke 6:46 And why call you me, Lord, Lord; and do not the things which I say?

I Corinthians 9:27 But I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection : lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway.

I Corinthians 10:16 The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?

James 2:17 So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
James 2:18 But some man will say : Thou hast faith, and I have works : shew me thy faith without works ; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith.
James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well : the devils also believe and tremble.
James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar?
James 2:22 Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect?
James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God.
James 2:24 Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?
James 2:25 And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way?
James 2:26 For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead.

Romans 11:21 For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.
Romans 11:22 See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God,if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Every bit of which those who constantly attack Catholics revise or ignore to suit their Self and their Self Alone.

“Read “Pagan Christianity” by Frank Viola. It is the most researched book concerning this very topic.”

No. It is just the latest in a long chain of pseudo research dating back to the nineteenth century that doesn’t actually do anything to prove your point. I see no evidence that you’ve read the book either or imbibed any of its claimed research.

“I bet you won’t because it’s much easier to call me names.”

Actually, I’ll be happy to read it - although I’ve read dozens of books like it before that date back to the 19th century.

“I wish you the best on your journey brother.”

Thanks. Sadly, I knew you would go belly up when I demanded evidence. And you have. And, remember, Constantine did not establish Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. You learned something today about history that you previously got wrong. Don’t forget it. And don’t forget who taught it to you either.
