Roman world. Following the victory, Constantine never exhibited an open
reverence of Jesus, and the symbolism Christians used while underground
during the great persecutions. It becomes glaringly obvious that the feigned
vision and dream brought the true Christians and the pagans together,
under a political pretense of being one spiritual body or church. The impure
seed enveloped the pure seed [true followers of Jesus]—a political victory.
With the names changed, the pagan statues and symbols, as well as the
festivals, were combined and thence known as Holy days. The original
church leaders assisted, thinking all was in good order. Over the centuries
many were taught to blindly follow the Roman church, even though many
holy people protested the validity of the imperfections and affairs of the
church.
The misunderstanding about Christianity today is a direct result of the
feigned vision and dream. The persecutions ceased, seemingly a good thing,
yet the political decree changed the small Christian world, and enabled a
pagan Christian world to begin. Once the dastardly deed was completed,
pagan images became supposedly holy objects; pagan rituals were
intertwined with holy days; and Constantine won a political victory using
the foundation of Christianity to gather the multitudes. To exemplify
further, pagans had spring festivals that celebrated the ancient Anglo-
Saxon/Germanic fertility goddess Eastre or Eostra, which included
customs involving eggs and rabbits. The English word for Easter derived
from that goddess. The Christian holiday, which celebrates the resurrection
of Jesus, incorporates many of the customs practiced in ancient pagan
traditions.
Spiritual contemplation regarding the vision and dream should have
superseded the political decree. The pure seed should have remained
faithful. However, the early church and theologians apparently saw fit to
accept the convergence of authority over the Pagans. The supposed vision
of '
Chi-Ro
', the symbol of Christ, was not a gift from God in the upper case,
but certainly from the lower case god! They proclaimed Constantine to be a
saintly figure.
If Jesus were the Christ as the dream portrayed, He would have appeared to
His Apostles, and pronounced He was the Christ following His
Resurrection. However, Jesus appeared as He was, and His appearance
would never be contrary to the truth according to His testimony. Jesus
