Answer 1

It's Constantine's works to be exact.

Dr. Adel Elsaei writes:

Constantine sought to exploit the rapidly expanding religion, with its great potential, to strengthen the Roman Empire. Constantine was persuaded that the disunity of the church was destabilizing the empire. In 324 he felt sure that soon he would go to the Holy Land to see the sacred sites, and to be baptized in Jordan. But his plan was abruptly aborted. He found the Greek churches in Egypt, Palestine, Syria and Asia Minor boiling with controversy about the nature of Jesus. The intense theological emotion started in Alexandria by the charismatic presbyter Arius, who had a soft and impressive voice. He issued a challenge to his bishop Alexander, that the latter found impossible to ignore and even more difficult to argue: how could Jesus have been God of the same substance like God the father? Arius argued that it was blasphemous to think that Jesus was divine by nature. Jesus had specifically said that the father was greater than he. Alexander and his assistant Athanasius immediately realized the theological problem.

When Constantine selected and brought together 318 bishops for the Council, it was a military and political decision. He needed the support of the new religion in his battles. He claimed that he saw a vision of the Cross in the middle of the sun, his god before converting to Christianity in his last day. Even the bishops had no illusion about that, for not only did the Emperor preside over the Council, he also proclaimed that his will was a divine law. The senior pastors accepted him as a "Universal Bishop" even though he was not baptized, and they let him take part in votes on church doctrine. Constantine was completely ignorant of Jesus’ teachings. He was a follower of the solar monotheism of Mithras (the ancient Iranian god of light), who was portrayed on coins as the "invincible sun". When Constantine gave his name to the old Greek commercial city of Byzantium and made Constantinople in 330, five years after the Council, the capital of the Roman Empire, he had a mighty column erected for the ceremonial opening with the Emperor and the "invincible sun god" on the top of it.

Answer 2

I think your history knowledge is very poor.

1. Christianity was created by Christ Jesus. Back in the 1st century, Not Rome.

2. Yes, Rome made the catholic church (universal church) to control people as you put it. And that was done in the year 375 by the emperor Constantine. He named him self Pontiff Maximus the first pope.

Answer 3

Yup, their spy, Paul, did good. The very first thing he did was break the commands Jesus gave the apostles.

Paul goes into a town and goes to teach the Jews. They call him a liar. He shakes his garments, says that since they won't receive him, he'll take it to the gentiles.

In every version of the Great Commissioning in the Bible, Jesus specifically said to shake the dust from your feet/sandals, not your garments, and under no circumstance to take it to the Gentiles, that such teachins are for the lost Jews.

Paul did a great job destroying the teachings of Jesus.

Answer 4

Rome didn't create Christianity. Scholars agree that the name "Christianity" was given to the followers of Christ.
Roman is not Christian. True Christianity follows the teaching of the Bible (KJV). They don't use any form of graven images in thier worship.

Answer 5

Christianity was before Rome or Catholics.
