Question

Constantine is located in modern-day Isanbul, Turkey. Am I correct?

Yea I meant Constantinople...

Answer 1

Hi,

Instanbul used to be known as Constatinople before it was taken by the Turks. It used to be the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, which survived the Western Roman Empire by about 1000 years. Constantinople fell in the 1453.

The Roman Emperor Constantine founded it in the 300s and the name Constantinople literally means "Constantine's City."

Before that it was called Byzantium and it was founded by the Greeks as a colony in 667BC.

Hope this answers your question

Answer 2

Constantinople was the capital of the Roman Empire between 330 and 395, the Byzantine Empire between 395 and 1453, and the Ottoman Empire between 1453 and 1923. It was officially renamed to its modern Turkish name Istanbul in 1930. It is Turkey's most populous city, and its cultural and economic centre.

Gaius Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus commonly known Constantine the Great was a Roman Emperor, proclaimed Augustus by his troops on July 25, 306 and who ruled an ever-growing portion of the Roman Empire until his death.

Constantine rebuilt the city of Byzantium, and renamed it Nova Roma (New Rome), providing it with a Senate and civic offices similar to those of Rome, and the new city was protected by the alleged True Cross, the Rod of Moses and other holy relics, though a cameo now at the Hermitage Museum also represented Constantine crowned by the tyche of the new city. The figures of old gods were replaced and often assimilated into Christian symbolism. On the site of a temple to Aphrodite was built the new Basilica of the Apostles. Generations later there was the story that a Divine vision led Constantine to this spot, and an angel no one else could see, led him on a circuit of the new walls. After his death, his capital was renamed Constantinopolis (in English Constantinople, " Constantine's City".

Answer 3

Answer 5

No, the accusation is grossly unfair. Jehovah's Witnesses have never pretended as the questioner smarmily contends. Consider their own writings.. .. 1883, January, The Watchtower, page 425 “We have not the gift of prophecy.” “Nor would we have our writings reverenced or regarded as infallible.” -The Watchtower, December 15, 1896, page 306 The Watchtower has implicitly and explicitly noted that having a measure of holy spirit “does not mean those now serving as Jehovah’s witnesses are inspired. It does not mean that the writings in this magazine The Watchtower are inspired and infallible and without mistakes.” -The Watchtower, May 15, 1947, page 157. “The Watchtower does not claim to be inspired in its utterances, nor is it dogmatic.” -The Watchtower, August 15, 1950, page 263. “The brothers preparing these publications are not infallible. Their writings are not inspired as are those of Paul and the other Bible writers. (2 Tim. 3:16) And so, at times, it has been necessary, as understanding became clearer, to correct views. (Prov. 4:18)” -The Watchtower, February 15, 1981, page 19. It is revealing to recognize the true origins of such anti-Witness propaganda (see John 8:44).
