. That is absolute vomit!

The gospels and the letters had gone around the world 200 years before the Roman Catholic church was founded by Constantine, the brutal pagan destroyer.

I love the way that protestants never ever let the facts or truth get in the way of their opinions.

wherever the gospels and letters went for the first 200 years, they were carried by the Catholics...Constantine legalized the church in his jurisdiction, he had NOTHING to do with the founding of Catholicism.......(if Catholics didn't spread the word for the first 200 years, who did??)

Most likely due to the persecution of the believers beginning in full at Stephens death. The Gospel would have spread into Asia and parts of Europe by ones who escaped as many came from far distances to Jerusalem to worship.

We can be reasonably certain for example it was taken to Ethiopia about 800 miles away by the queens servant whom Phillip met. Paul stated in Romans ch 10 the Gospel was already going out to the world. This would have been 50-60 AD.
