Bible Note: From the death of Origen to the accession of Constantine was a period of tremendous growth for the church, as well as a period of great persecution under Diocletian, Galerius and Maximin from 303 to 312. In 313, a year after the accession of Constantine, Christianity, such as it was, became the state religion. In 313, Constantine promulgated the Edict of Milan forbidding persecution of monotheistic religions in the Roman Empire. On the surface this would appear to have been a great boon to the church. But as we shall see, although the edict allowed Christians to practice their faith openly, the politics of the Roman Empire slowly assimilated themselves into the church and thus was formulated a totalitarian religion known as Roman Catholicism. So it is evident that you have not done research on the Catholic Church and therefore this will be my last post. First Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church, was held in 325. As early as 320 or 321 St. Alexander, Bishop of Alexandria, convoked a council at Alexandria at which more than one hundred bishops from Egypt and Libya . The latter continued to officiate in his church and to recruit followers of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church had many councils so maybe this info will clear up what I stated before. Do research on The History on the Catholic Church and while you are at it look up Constantine, Alexander the Great and (Charlemagne from 8th Century). I also will add that the Council of Nicea later became the Nicene Creed that many church follow today which is not a bad thing. Just have a clear understanding about the trinity and it's origin. This is all I wanted to present and my prayer is that God will bring you into the full knowledge of the truth and that your theological understanding will be broaden and not one sided. |
