To be or not to be? That is the question ( Quoted from Shakespeare)

I find a great persuasion to understand where so called Mainstream Christianity originated from, and quick study of history shows up the name Constantine.
Constantine says he saw a vision of a burning cross before he was to engage an enemy in battle, and he won that Battle; the short of this is, that he took it to mean that he should start a church.
I have looked at the burning cross side of his story, what could the meaning of a burning cross be, since I have seen the Roman Catholic church parading the streets with burning crosses , who else is represented by a burning cross? The KKK, (Ku Klux Klan), of America.
Who is the KKK? They are those who are organised to bring terror and misery on the Negro people, slaves to America.
How did the Negro people become slaves to Americans in the first place? History has it that Roman Catholic Missionaries entered Africa to convert the Heathen and Pagans they might find there, but found that the African Negro already had the Christian Doctrine, However, unfortunately for the Africans, it was not to Constantine’s liking, because the African had the original teachings of Christ, so captured the African people and sold them as slaves, to America mainly.
The KKK came as a force against the African in America, and mainly at a time when there was opinion that these African people were actually people, and should be treated as such; the question in consideration is why did the KKK carry the burning cross? Especially when it seems to belong to Constantine and his church? And who claim that they are the church of Constantine? The Roman Catholic Church claims that very thing! Here we have unanswered questions, but given the facts, and many are covered up, what are we to think?
I am not impressed with the history of so called Christianity, looking at it since the history of Constantine to today’s date; it is not what God has persuaded me through Christ Jesus to believe, and I’m not going to beat around the bush about what I see, and this is what I see:-
Constantine, a frightened man going into battle, under great stress, sees a burning cross? This cross seems to have the message of destroying the whole purpose of the Crucifixion of Jesus, and the word that he gave; a study must be done of this man Constantine, and his ways, in comparison to the man Jesus Christ and his teachings.
You might ask why bother? It is very important to people of God to be able to discern, Scripture tells us from God’s words that we must examine every spirit, and this Constantine presents himself as a prime example to be examined, is he from God? Or is he from the Devil dressed as the Angel of light? God’s word tells us that this will happen!
Very briefly, let’s look at the comparisons between Constantine, what he says and does, and if he is of God, and what God says through the New Covenant, and Jesus Christ, should be.
Some things I see against Constantine being genuinely inspired by God, and to be worthy to be the world leader and creator of the world Church.
1- The burning cross, scripturally I cannot find reference to the Cross of Jesus Church to be a burning cross. Even if you reasoned that the fire might represent the word of God, even then the meaning in that light would be, the destruction of those who sin against God’s word, yet in context, Is one who Kills other Christians, and who is not baptised, and who adulterates God’s word, likely to be the one to have the authority of God’s word, Fire or not?
2- Constantine would not get Baptised until he thought he was on his death bed, he knew enough to know that once Baptised the sinning would have to stop, but was deceived enough that he obviously believed in death bed confessions.
3- Constantine took up the position as a Despot, to form his church; I cannot find any reference in Scripture which leads us to believe that this is God or Jesus’ way of bringing to be a congregation of God!
4- He had the original Church of Jesus Christ’s Apostles and Disciples trampled killed and scattered, ---- Arian... Edit.... Yes the leader of them named Arius, Christ's disciple in later years.... End edit. I am at a loss to understand, why anyone would expect people of God to accept, that they had inspiration and persuasion, from God, to eradicate and restart in Constantine’s way. I cannot find anything in the Gospels that would lead any person of God to behave in such a way, in consideration of the New Covenant presented to us by Jesus the Christ.
5- Constantine rejected the facts given by God, the testimony of God and Jesus, through the Prophets and Psalms and the Gospels and the book of Revelations, that Jesus was man pure man, and now is immortal man. There are people who still believe Constantines deception today!
6- Constantine, by his proclamation that Jesus, as he walked the Earth, is the same substance as God, and then there is the Holy Spirit, has effectively called God and Jesus Liars, and in doing so has thrown the bigger part of the Scriptures in the Holy Bible into confusion, and by his doctrine has made the scriptures to be not understood, and included in this charge, he has effectively taken away Jesus Christs Glory intended by God.
7- Constantine, an Inspired man of God? Who has been charged by God to start the one and only God inspired Church for all peoples, has been given sanction to kill the original God’s people through Christ, and the many thousands of people who could not accept these new doctrines also, and not only did they Kill these people freely but so cruelly, the deeds of Constantine and those Despots who followed after him, and to change Gods laws, and times etc, is this our God, and his New Testament's way? And through Jesus the Christ??? A thought here; Constantine and his kind are truly bloody murderers, but wait! They claim inspiration from God! We surely are missing great volumes of Gospel, if that were the case, and which must have been missed out of the Bible, if we are to believe Constantine and his Church. But there we have history, Constantine charged that all should follow his teachings or die! What it is then that Constantine is presenting himself to be, is a bloody minded murdering Messiah of the New Covenant.
8- Many things Constantine did, and changed, his church even changed the Sabbath day from the seventh day to the first day of the week, one more act of disobedience to God’s commands, which stop people from entering into the Kingdom of God.
9- Constantine needed some form of book to give authority to his creations, so he charged his Bishops to make up a Bible that would do his church purpose. And hello! This book called the Holy Bible, it was written in Latin, and what’s more was never intended that the people would ever get to read or understand it, why? How much false was in it, and how much still! They murdered those who dare try to translate it for the people to read!
10- The Bible under Constantine was made up of the available manuscripts of the Old Testament, but what was required was a New Testament backing up Constantine’s Creed, proclamations about Jesus being God, and such, and the Bishops knew they had to make it up accordingly or die at the hand of this Despot. Now, and because of all this, we have the altering of the Scriptures, and to add to their sins which are mounting up to the Heaven.
11- The claims are, that no one knew if a Gospel manuscript was original or an altered copy, it was claimed, but worked out very well for altering what was available. Some claim those things (right or wrong), to back up their lies, that they even went back to the Old Testament and corrupted some parts of the Prophets scriptures, in their attempt to bring in the Jesus Christ is God doctrine, fortunately, that deed was in vain to those who are truly of God, and if you study for yourself in context you will see their attempts, and look to God for the exact knowledge.
12- Constantine did not believe his own church! He knew he was close to death, so he got Baptised finally! But deceitfully! But not by the church which he claimed was the inspired church of God, with their deceived doctrines and evil ways, no, this was not good enough for Constantine.
13- Constantine got Baptised by the very Church he had tried to destroy, by a man who Constantine knew had survived!
14- Constantine then gave that man a position of great responsibility over Constantine’s life, I find myself wondering how this fitted with this man of God who Baptised Constantine, and what he must have said to convince him, and find the answer, Constantine told him the truth, that he did not go along with the very church that he had created, and which was not God’s creation,
15- Constantine had detached himself from that church of Constantine, and according to The Roman Catholic Church, they are the Church of Constantine. Edit---- continuing on in Constantines original teachings. End edit.
16- Constantine’s regime did some beneficial deeds to the community, but scripture tells us that no matter what good you may have done, it counts for nothing while you are in your sins.
Edit-----
17- Constantine and here we have the truth of the matter he altered the New Testament in matters of who Jesus the Christ really is, to try and wash the blood of Jesus off Roman hands, to allow Rome to take over Christianity, and Power over the people, and the money which comes with that, even to the doctrine of the virgin conception and birth!
Yes, the Old Testament could not be altered by Constantine or his Roman Catholic church, because the Jewish people had guardianship over that! And there it is today, the Old Testament, proving those things which I write of here to be the truth, and for those who are prepared to accept God’s correction, they can read and see where Constantine has altered, and taken away, and added to the Gospels; therefore anything written in the Gospels which allude to Jesus being God or a god or of the essence of God is an alteration by Constantine and his church.
Jesus tells us to know him we need to read and believe that which is written of him in the Books of Moses, and the Prophets, and Psalms, and the reason he tells us that is because he knew man would adulterate the truth of him.
End Edit.
There is a lot to be said on all this, but the against Constantine stacked up here far outweigh any good that may have been done, and I cannot find in what is listed so far, anything to allow me to discern Constantine’s church as that being the inspiration of God, nor could it have come from Jesus the Christ.
But what I repeatedly hear by understanding is, “Come out of her my people least ye fellowship with her sins, and partake of her plagues” (Author of Quote, is God Himself).
To be or not to be? that is the question and the answer is as above.
My concern is in the behaviour of Constantine, the Emperor of Rome, His behaviour is not that which Jesus the Christ has taught, Jesus would never have tried to bring in the New Covenant in such a manner as Constantine did, and here’s a very good point; the Romans were a hated enemy of the Jewish people, and the people of Israel, collectively the Hebrew people in other words, and this raises the question, is it at all likely that God, through the Lord Jesus the Christ, would they find wisdom in antagonising the people any further, by using their enemies to rule them in their worship of God? And forever! Consider also those people who knew the true teachings of Jesus Christ, what of them? It is hard to imagine or fathom , or in deed reason with such wisdom, if God would have required them to be deceived, let alone have them persecuted and Killed by a force that performed evil! No, it just doesn’t stack up, not from God or Jesus ways, but what does stack up is that, it surely looks like mans ways!
Further to this is, Jesus had the unenviable task of trying to bring the People who were dedicated to the Old Mosaic Laws, away from that which took great effort to be obedient to, and bring them to break away from that, and then embrace the New Testament! Look at some facts:- any change at all from the Mosaic Laws could bring instant death, or Eternal Judgement against them, once they broke a law it was done and no further redemption is available for them, now look at it, a whole complete change in Covenant to be bought about for those people, would have to be bought about in a very convincing way. Now I ask you, would it be reasonable to think that Christ Jesus would use the Romans to handle this delicate matter? Consider this: The whole Hebrew Nation made up of the Jews and the Israelites, they thought, and believed, that when the Messiah came he would destroy the Roman oppressor, wiping them out of existence! Would a people who felt that way about a Nation of Despots be likely to embrace the Church of a Roman Empire! And what’s more, it’s deceived teachings?
Consider also: Throughout the history of Christianity from about the Year 325 AD. It’s so Called Leaders have caused the Churches sins to stack up to the Heaven, some have split away, but still not enquiring of God for the exact knowledge, they retain still some of the teachings of the so called original or traditional church! (The Roman Catholic church, who claim that they are the church of Constantine, know Christianity is on the rocks, as they term it, yet say that it’s not their fault (This taken from their own book “The Final Conclave”).
I could go on much more about all this, but I think it’s time to say the answer to the Question “To be or not to be? Constantine’s Church, is it to be the one and only true Christian Church of God? And with the weight of evidence backed up by the deeds recorded and observed, the answer can only be Not to be!
To all those who are caught up in deceitful churches God calls to those who could become his people “Come out of her my people, least ye fellowship with her sins, and partake of her plagues”.
The use of the word “Her” is the Biblical term used for the Whore of Babylon, and the use of the word “Babylon” are to describe sinful churches.
I would like to add, at one time during my receiving knowledge and understandings, an enlightenment came to me: If the number six biblically is in concern of man, and man has put together 66 books to make a Bible, calculate the numbers given this way: 666, this number to man represents the Devil or Evil persons, therefore the question has to be asked in the light of Constantine’s deeds thus: Given that this man Constantine had his Bishops put together a Book as a pillar of his church, and given that Constantine’s regime included death to those who would not follow his teachings, and given that those who put the available Manuscripts of the Gospels, did not know if any were originals, and if that bring true, it certainly would be a good time for them to alter what was available, and this to suit Constantine, then the question has to be asked : Is the number 666 referring to Constantine and his church?
People of God through our Lord Jesus Christ
It is a terrible thought to all of us that the Bible has been adulterated by man!
But fear not, if you seek God in the way he tells us, that is in Spirit and truth, Hungering for the Word, and Thirsting for the Spirit, and in obedience to him through the Lord Jesus Christ, you will have nothing to fear, because God tells us that he will seek his people, and he will give the accurate knowledge, and the accurate knowledge is that which we require, that will profit us to be obedient to God, and what is required for us to become worthy to enter into the Kingdom of God.
Though not a Roman Catholic, I have lived with, and seen Roman Catholicism at one time of my life.
I don’t hate the people, I have some fond memories of those I have lived amongst, my ancestors on both sides were once Roman Catholic, but realised the truth of the foundation of the church and came out of there.
I am not here to condemn those still in there but fear for them, and I know that there are some who know that what I say is right.
Let me teach you by this Website “God’s Word Given” To come out of her, God’s people.
In Addition---: What has happened to the Country, and the City, and the grand church buildings, and so on, named after Constantine? yes the city once called Constantinople, it is now Istanbul, and all has been taken over by the Islam, it is now a land of Muslims!
“Come out of her my people, least ye fellowship with her sins, and partake in her plagues”
What do you suppose this means? It is referring to those Apostate churches, and those who have partaken in the deceiving of the Devil, who is dressed as the Angel of light, because this is where the Devil works best. God is calling his people out of those churches, that is those who are prepared to be corrected, who by listening to and discerning the truth, will have their eyes and mind opened by God himself.
There are those who hear the Word of God, then the Enemy comes, and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved.
There are also those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and yet these have no root; they believe for a time, and in a time of trial fall away.
Then there are those who, having heard, go forth, and are choked by the anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
These things are written.
Christ says, "My Mother and my Brothers are these who hear the word of God, and obey it". And obey it! ----- And obey it! Yes it's a hard road!
