The same Unitarians who, since the days of Constantine

Where were the Unitarians during the Roman Empire?

Some wish to claim membership in The Church of Those Who Never Did Anything Wrong.

I can understand the desire, but it doesn't exist. Those who cling to the idea are always of recently invented churches - claiming credit for tests they never too,.

**Revised post for those too stupid to understand satire.**

An Empire built on lies - are you talking about the Unitarians who deny the Trinity and the divinity of Christ?

Yes. The same UnitariansCatholics who, through forgery and deceit, built armies, seized territories, seized wealth and treasure, named Emperors, and deposed Emperors. Those UnitariansCatholics.

The same UnitariansCatholics who imaginanitively claim 1.2 billion members who practice the same faith. Those UnitariansCatholics.

The same UnitariansCatholics who, since the days of Constantine, have continued to build upon lies and deceit.

For example:

This is perhaps the most famous forgery in history. For centuries, until Lorenzo Valla proved it was forgery during the Renaissance it provied the basis for papal territorial and jurisdictional claims in Italy. Probably at least a first draft of it was made shortly after the middle of the eighth century in order to assist Pope Stephen II in his negotiations with the Frankish Mayor of the Palace, Pepin the Short. The Pope crossed the Alps to anoint the latter as king in 754, thereby enabling, the Carolingian family, to which Pepin belonged, to supplant the old Merovingian royal line which had become decadent and powerless and to become in law as well as in fact rulers of the Franks. In return, Pepin seems to have promised to give to the Pope those lands in Italy which the Lombards had taken from Byzantium. The promise was fulfilled in 756. Constantine's alleged gift made it possible to interpret Pepin's grant not as a benefaction but as a restoration.

For comparison, what is your church’s history during the same time frame?

Cool, do you think your group, the Unitarians have disproven, using sola scriptura Christ's divinity in the Trinity? Why don't you let your mates here know exactly how the Unitarians disprove this?
