Constantine destroyed the church and turned it into persecutors for 1500 years.

Right... so, Jess lied when he said his Church would stand forever? It died, and then ML came along and resurrected it? There was no Church for 1500 years?

I don’t think so.

1. Who is this Jess you are talking about?

2. There was always a remnant, even under Catholic pressure to keep the Scripture out of layman hands.

3. The "Church" is all those who believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and Creator. Not a man made shell of priestly elites.

And a century later Augustine is writing City of God, after Rome had turned out not to be the solid enduring rock they had been thinking.

Rome and Constantinople had nothing to do with the Church or anything Christian. Martin Luther was just a marginal improvement. Henry VIII was ridiculous. Don’t look to human leaders. They are all corrupt.

The truth is that WE ALL ARE OR HAVE BEEN corrupt in one way or another.

The Church is like a large family 🌳 that has many branches.

Spoken like someone who has only read the revisionist version of history without actually tackling the primary sources. Go read them and then get back to us.

The Roman Empire that Constantine reformed endured for more than a millennium after this event.

Another one. Have you read the primary sources? For those of us who live in this corrupt, post-Christian world to ridicule those who lived in Rome and Constantinople in ancient times and the middle ages as not being sufficiently Christian is frankly ludicrous. For a millennium, the world that Constantine initiated ate, drank and slept the teachings of Jesus Christ. They weren't perfect, but they were zealous--more zealous than most so-called Christians in our own time.
