Something minor but at the same time monumental about Constantine that you didn’t mention - his mum was widely known to be a committed Christian (St Helena). He couldn’t continue persecuting Christians but protect his beloved mother. St Helena is actually a fascinating woman. She ordered officials to search the Holy Land for relics associated with Christ’s life and bring whatever could be moved back to Rome. And so Rome’s churches are still full of bits of buildings from Christ’s Jerusalem. Constantine also let his mum organise Christianity into a working religion - devising what a “church” should look like, where they should be placed in Rome (ie above early Christian meeting places or where saints were buried or martyred etc) and codifying church litany. Early church history of the 4th century is incredibly fascinating.

Constantine wanted to come to an agreement over which version of man made BS would be the official BS of his empire.

By the time that Emperor Constantine wanted a universal religion, the believers in Christ were already divided as to what teachings were truly those of Christ. It would have been quite easy to exert his influence by validating the control of the priesthood over the new orthodox church, using his authority and approval The irony is that this new religion, with his influence, had morphed into a heterodoxy of paganism, mythology and severely amended and abridged available teachings imagined to be those of Christ. Paul and Constantine never knew Christ and yet they had the greatest influence over what was included in the New Testament.

I was expecting a large documentary on Constantine and more about his personal Christianity. However, this fits the function: send this to someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. The title tricked me there. Most of the info I alread knew. However some facts like: He also had pagan gods were a nugget. But else, keep going! Good work💪

Council of Nicea was chaired by the papal legate. It began with the reading of a letter from the Pope. The Biblical canon was established by the Council of Rome in AD 382.

The only correct answer is that Constantine wanted to see Santa Claus punch Arius in the face.

very in depth; amazing video

My question is as follows. If we are to go to the Bible for an answer to the question of rather Jesus, Holy Ghost, or God, are indeed one in essence, a Trinity, then who is the final authority on what was put in the Bible.

Great post thank you

if persecution was a sure path to authority... effectively taking the place of the resistance in the name of rome is a whole other level.

Jeremiah 23:18,35-37 ASV For who hath stood in the council of Jehovah, that he should perceive and hear his word? who hath marked my word, and heard it? [35] Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What hath Jehovah answered? and, What hath Jehovah spoken? [36] And the burden of Jehovah shall ye mention no more: for every man's own word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of Jehovah of hosts our God.

[4] Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. [5] And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he hath spoken rebellion against Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in.

Queen Helen of Adiabene?

Unfortunately your bias taints the video so many times. Is your goal to tell history or evangelize? You can't honestly do both.

What is this Greek mythology.

Sorry this empror was antisemtic and as you present still was a pagan that explains his anti jewish views only after he died ,the church fathers felt at ease to inculd the hebrew bible and to venrate the maccabis ,and to reconect to the jewish faith but he damged alredy the kinship of the jews and gentils the concil of nicah was his death warrent for any hope of reconcilion

Constantine was good because he legalized Christianity, and gave money to the church. However he was not a Christian, he was an Arian at best. But most likely, he worshiped many gods including favoring the Christian God. There are better Christian emperors who were strong in the faith like Justinian I, and of course Charlemagne the Great.
