Should we oppose what Constantine did for the church?

I could be wrong, but wasn't Constantine's main contribution to changes for the church the fact that he was the Emperor that made Christianity Legal

We should not expect the world to love us and help our cause. If they do, we are liable to get complacent and love this world too much.

John 15

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

If the world love us and help our cause, It may because we work for them.
If we work,for the Lord, the world Will hate us.

One thing I do know, sin and repentance being preached is hard to find at pulpits today.

John Hagee ran off with the college girl Diana Castro 12 years younger from the church he pastored, divorced his wife Martha and children, went across town and started a Mega Church

How's John Hagee gonna preach on the sin of Adultery, when he wakes up every morning swimming in it?

Just One Example

I could be wrong, but wasn't Constantine's main contribution to changes for the church the fact that he was the Emperor that made Christianity Legal and also began supporting them with state funds? He inserted his influence in a council over arguments that threatened to split the churches but he was not really considered a theologian nor did he architect any systems. Those came later from one of his sons right? I think he gets too much credit for things that came after him. I have to revisit church history. The fact that he supported the churches and bishops with power and might of Rome and gave them finances which made them become dependent on such secular resources was the cause of the decline and apostacy. They became more concerned about such influence and prestige than being sojourners and pilgrims. Being despised by the government and the wicked masses was better for them in keeping them holy and unpolluted by the corruption that is in the world from lust. Once they had the favor and esteem of the State and the masses they became another form of the Pharisees.

We should not expect the world to love us and help our cause. If they do, we are liable to get complacent and love this world too much.

God is everything and His creation is nothing.

NO, Constantinie USED the existing church to redefine Christian doctrine to remake his old Sun-god religion into an acceptable STATE RELIGION. The result was a mixture of Judaism, Paganism and using Christian terminology. The purpose was to unify all his conquored nations tp ,make them one nation with allegiance to Constantine only.

You should read carefully over Angela's answers in this forum.....she has two very informative posts on this.

Just Tells me that Satan does not care what religion looks like as long as you Don't follow the one true God. God truly uses the bad for Good here! Letting Christianity grow.

Good food for thought. Satan does not care what you believe, he does care if you believer the truth.

He is free to deceive the nations and judging by the posts in these chat forums He is having much success.

Sounds to me like you said the same thing but ok 🤔

That's pretty close to what I leaned. I first read the book of Mark in my twenties, (It was the first gospel I read, because it's the shortest) BTW. we never studied the Bible in Catholic School. I was shocked. I Went to a Catholic church and noticed they were selling Holy Water, rosary beads, magnetic statuettes. pictures of saints, etc. Then I remembered the the story about what Jesus did to the money changers at the temple. The verse when Jesus said "call no man father also was fresh in my mind. I quit being a Catholic then and there! Later on when I was in Bible School I became suspicious of what you said, i and some friends started our own investigation. The truth we discovered was far worse than what you said.

Everybody on my mom's side of the family are what I call 'Holiday Catholics'. On Christ Mass, New Years and Easter They go to Midnight or morning mass, then go to somebody's home, have a feast and get drunk. Weddings, baptism's and funerals. Same story. It's a cultural tradition ane they are all OK with it. Don't get me wrong, I don't hold it against them, I was the same way. I love Catholics and many of them are sincere, sincerely deceived. I despise the Vatican for all of the deception, false dogma, lies and hypocrisy. Look up Pope Alexander VI 1499, (aka), Cardinal Borgia (Lucretia Borgia was his illegitimate daughter). It's well noted in non catholic approved European history,

That's just the visible part of the 'Iceberg Vatican,'

and so??
