But people still insist the the military-religious complex of Constantinian Christianity was God-inspired, despite the fact that Constantine heard Jesus tell him to kill people in Jesus' name (by this sign, conquer).

*sigh*

People don't know the history or the facts, but follow like sheep to the slaughter.
*sigh*

Do you believe what's written in the bible or not?

Yes ____


No____

*sigh*

1) I do not attack the Bible - I study it and report findings
2) I seek the truth and do not read and English translation and think I know better than someone who studies, like some people here
Moderator cut: please don't discuss reputation
4) I get frustrated trying to speak truth to people with cotton in their ears

Don`t get frustrated. Just because you believe something to be the truth doesn`t make it the truth. It`s your truth. There are plenty of people with more degrees than you,been studying longer than you,who would disagree with your version of the truth. Truth isn`t necessarily found in a science textbook.

Problem is, the VAST majority of Christians do not even know how their Bible has come down to them and then there are others who have the resources to find out but not interested in any facts screwing around with their pipe dreams.

It is truly a fascinating study though. Clears up so many questions and sheds light on certain things.

LIST OF EARLY CHRISTIAN WRITINGS

There were lots of "Gospels" all over the place, but we only ended up with 4. Who did God inspire to narrow it down to 4?
