I live in his city, mate. I've been to his church. I walk down his streets.
Of course Christianity is man-made.
I never called you an atheist. Although I'm one and there's nothing wrong with that.

Christianity wasn't exactly man-made, but Constantine did play a huge role in spreading it across the west, even though he wasn't truly a Christian. He converted to Christianity for the power. St. Paul made up the Christianity that we know today. He seems to override Jesus.
Didn't Constantine worship the sun god during the solstice and that's why Christians celebrate Christmas on Dec. 25?

You make a valid point. Christianity and all other religions are man made. If Constantine had not converted to Christianity, it would not have taken root in the western culture like it did. No one can deny that.

Constantine was the War Lord who Hijacked True Christianity and turned it in to a Political, Financial, Pseudo Religious CULT.
Constantine started the roman catholic Cult.

I have herd of Constantine. He was a Roman officer or Cesar who held the conference of Nicea. This conference was including all the leaders who jealously loved the Lord and gave their lives living for him. They basically just spent time confirming and talking on what was already said by the disciples. The bible was never changed at this council. If you truly believe it was i suggest you do some research because it is an important subject and an important question. May God be with you in your search.

Constantine was the first Roman emperor to accept Christianity. He caused persecution against Christianity to cease throughout the empire, and when the Arian controversy arose, he was responsible for bringing about the Nicene Council which affirmed the essential deity of Christ.

I think you are confusing the Da Vinci code with careful research... it's fiction... get a grip
The problem with Constantine was not that he made the religion, it was that he made it the norm and many in name only people called themselves Christian
When many in name only cultural Christians entered the church, it caused categories of thought to shift away from Biblical ones toward worldy and if there was a problem that would bo one of them

The only few things Constantine did was to make it illegal to persecute Christians. He allowed Christianity to survive.
Study church history-its a good study.

Yes.
He added some of the pagan traditions into Christianity.
Though he was a supporter of the religion, he wouldn't get baptized into it until he was on his deathbed. He just loved his paganism to much to give it up.
However, since interfaith was widely practice then, as it is now, it didn't bother him to get baptized. He was covering all areas.
It's because of him the cross is in Christianity, and other things. Like worship on Sunday, so the sun god would not be offended. A lot of things like that.
I'm going to find my old book on Constantine and review it. Thanks

Actually, Constantine REFINED the religion...he didn't create it.
Do more homework, THEN embarrass people with what they don't know.
