All these new type of people, who always claim they're telling the truth, are always idiots. Usually idiots easily taken in by lies and propaganda, or those knowingly trying to spread lies and propaganda. Truth and reality is something the modern person doesn't recognize or understand. And the religious are by far the worst for this. I do find it extraordinary, that in the year 2022, we've still got people among us, who claim they do believe in a God? Yet we should all know that it's impossible for the God (they claim they believe in) to exist, we also should all know that it's actually impossible for anyone of us, to really believe a word of it? We all have our very own inquisitive minds, so we should all know that it's actually impossible for any of us to really believe a word of it, as our very own human, inquisitive minds, will always be nagging away at us (in the background), demanding the proof, so they can believe it. It will never stop nagging away at us, demanding the proof to believe it. It's actually known as a "human trait". And all of us do know this. So, how can people, who all "claim" they really do believe, do so, without ever seeing any proof? And why can't the religious people, prove what they all claim they believe in, exists? I mean, the truth really is, they've had over 2000 years to come up with just one thing, just one single thing, that conclusively proves all they "claim" they believe in, to be true? That's 2000+ years, man? And after many of mankind's greatest minds, have studied, researched, and looked for something, anything at all, to prove this myth, only all, have come up with absolutely nothing, not one single thing, in over 2000 years? Yet the religious people claim that God, sent his own son (born to a virgin mother), to earth, to teach and to prove to mankind of his father's existence, right?. So, am I missing something here? Why aren't all the religious people, asking, where is this proof of his father's existence, or even his own existence?? We have none? My biggest questions have always been the same. Yet the can't ever answer anything meaningful, with anything sensible or logical? Why did all those people, (over two thousand years ago), get to meet God's son Jesus Christ, they all saw him perform his miracles (to educate & prove to mankind) the existence of his holy father, God, right? Well now, that's really not very fair, or even very nice, is it? What about us? I want to see some miracles, and I want to drink that water he turned to wine, I'd so love to walk on water too, but we get nothing?, they all got to see, right? Well, why not any of us? Do we not count, or does this God, just not like us? Because, do you know?, (and this is amazing), but do you know, that not a single one of those people from over 2000+ years ago, even thought to make any records of such incredible wonders? Not a single one? But they did make notes, and they kept records about boring things, (like how many loaves of bread they were able to bake in a day). But the miracles of Jesus Christ, himself? ... Nothing, no records, no notes, no drawings, no carvings, no statues, or any references mentioning him, (from anyone of the time), isn't that simply remarkable? So, we simply have to believe, that rather than teaching mankind of his father God's existence, he's gone out of his way to hide and make sure he left absolutely no evidence of even his own existence, let alone any evidence of a God? Nothing, not a single thing. Zip, nada, nowt. Now, honestly, that really is what we could call a miracle LMAO. I guess, maybe, just maybe, he could have changed his mind? LOL. So, the reality is, for a great God, who sent his own son, (born to a virgin mother), to teach us, and to prove to us all, of his father God? We have to be honest, and say, he sure did a miraculous job of hiding every single last detail of proof he existed, LMAO. Two thousand years later, and after many of mankind's greatest minds, have studied, have researched, for something, anything at all to prove this myth?, and yet all have come up with absolutely nothing? Tell me, where is all this love, all this forgiveness, and all this compassion for your fellow man? It's driven people literally mad looking for something, anything at all, 2000+ years, man? And NOTHING!! LOL! Yet these religious who never ask any of these perfectly logical questions, all suck it up, and incredibly actually claim they believe it, or you know, so they say? That's actually astonishing, it really is incredible man, it's shocking. LOL. And then, well then, they even have the audacity to suggest that anyone who does not believe, are sinners!! That's so insulting, man! Absolutely hilarious... LOL, I mean seriously, the level of intelligence in this world today, 2022, is simply appalling. LOL. The religious are a special kind of disturbed human, they just don't want to believe, that when we die, we do die, no, they all want to believe they're all off to some glorious palace in the sky, to lounge around being fed grapes, while listening to an angel strumming a Harp?, or something as utterly bizarre. And these religious people are simply something else with their attitudes! I mean, they've the nerve to look down on anyone who may question their religion, and therefore question the sincerity of their own belief. They all really hate that, and they hate it just so much!! Yet, truth be told, none of them know their arse from their elbow, on the one hand, they want to preach how God created the earth, created mankind, and the heavens etc, and God insists on things, like, help thy neighbour, compassion, love & forgiveness?. Yet, on the other hand, they'll claim that not believing, is a sin, and they tell other people they'll go to hell when they die, to serve the brutal unforgiving devil as his slave. They all say non-believers or followers of any other religion will suffer pain like no human has ever suffered pain before. Nice thing they all believe in, right? Oh, yes, just so nice! Well OK, but I'm sorry, it has to be said, for me, If their God can't show us any proof of his existence, but will then punish all the non-believers, and punish them all, in such a brutal, nasty, vicious, heinous, barbaric, and sadistic way, for merely believing what w see with our own eyes?, and what we learn with our own individual brains, or for using our very own inquisitive minds? Then seriously, that's not any kind of God I'd ever want to know! I mean, really, just how sadistic and screwed up is that? And yet these religious all claim they do believe in that? Okay, look, do you think that actually, there could be something mentally wrong with them all, maybe? Because that's some seriously screwed up thought process, and an indoctrinated mind they all hold, right there. I'm not religious, but I do have a belief. I believe that mankind's own imagination, is the only limitless thing known to man, without imagination, we would cease to exist, the greater the imagination?, the more advanced mankind becomes, until mankind himself, destroys himself. That's what I believe! You don't need gods, devils, murders, wars, or to be full of hate towards anyone, or any other type/kind of religion, to believe in that! No, you only require common sense! I also believe that the religious people in this world today, need to be sectioned under the Mental Health Act of 1977, as without any doubt at all, they're all clearly insane! Yet these (ever so intelligent religious people), have not stopped killing, slaying, and murdering each other, and over something as childish and juvenile as (“whose religion is right, or whose religion is wrong”), since it began! So, honestly and seriously, just how satanic and demented is that? 2000+ years of murder, war, destruction, and outright savagery for that? They're all very sick people indeed.
Religion clearly says God created mankind? But we actually do know for sure that no God created us at all. We evolved from other creatures over millions of years. (Scientific FACT). Religion clearly says God created the Earth? Only, again, we're on the cusp of proving that no God created Earth? We actually do know today that Earth was created following the explosion of a star, as the Earth is made up entirely of star particles, and we know how and why those particles clumped together. Taking those two things alone, proves beyond any doubt at all that religion is a farce. It's like they're unwilling to accept these proven scientific facts? Yet they're happy to believe every single one of all the other scientific facts, only the facts that categorically prove all they believe in to be false? They're completely unwilling to accept those facts? It's most odd. Ancient Egypt, proves religion is not real. Religion very clearly says, that Moses went to Egypt, to save the poor oppressed Israelite slaves from the tyrant Pharaoh, right? Only again, we can prove that's not true, and we know it never happened! Today, we do know, the Israelites were not slaves at any time in Egypt, no, they were in fact, many of the better-paid scribes, masons, and artists, who more often than not, were many of the village leaders, living in the larger units/homes. We can go and look around these uncovered, discovered, Israelite worker villages today. They were also able to build their own tombs, (we can look in their tombs today), they'd steal the colours they needed to decorate their own tombs, (as colours of all kinds, were extremely expensive), from the Pharaoh's tomb, they were decorating. We know they went on strike, when the Pharaoh was late delivering their grain, only, slaves don't strike?. We also know, there is no mention of Moses, throughout all Ancient Egypt? Yet we do know the Ancient Egyptian's recorded everything, from every war or battle they were involved in, (even the wars they lost, are recorded), only they'd record false battle scenes, to make it look like an Egyptian victory. We see this many times in Ancient Egypt, but we see nothing, and no mention of Moses, or even any Israelite unrest? Religion clearly says the Romans crucified Jesus Christ, only a few years after these so-called events, we can read “Pliny the Younger” who wrote a letter to Emperor Trajan, around 112AD, (less than 100 years after), asking for counsel on dealing with Christians. In the letter, Pliny explained to Trajan that he had never been present at any trials of the Christians (who appeared before him as a result of anonymous accusations). And he asked for the Emperor's guidance on how they should be treated, he added, If they still persevered after being interrogated, he had ordered them to be executed, as he thought that obstinacy deserved chastisement. However, he wished to consult the Emperor in order to be on solid ground regarding his actions, so he saved the letters he sent to Trajan, and he saved Trajan's replies. Interestingly, what we find in the reply, is, that those Romans only (less than 100 years later), knew nothing about this Jesus Christ, and certainly knew nothing about crucifying him. In the reply, it is mentioned that Christians are a hated cult for their (excessive superstition and stubbornness). That's from the Roman Emperor, who lived not long after these so-called “great events”. Yet his reply clearly shows us, that not even the Romans knew of this so-called Jesus (son of God), he calls it superstition! Yet the religious say they crucified him?
There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority. And science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works. ~ Stephen Hawking.
Can you even begin to imagine, that should all the non-believers start building enormous monuments, and non-religious buildings on every corner, (where like-minded non-religious people) can all go to talk about and preach to others about putting all the religious people in this world, to death? It would be seen as unacceptable, right? Yet, that's exactly what all the religious people and their religions have been doing for over 2000 years? They all need to start answering this reality? Because it's all the religious people, that don't understand just how offensive their religions really are to all non-believers! They've absolutely no right whatsoever, to read about, preach to others about, God's demands that all non-believers must be put to death?. How dare they? And as I don't believe, I don't care where it's written, or whether they say that now, they no longer think or believe that, or even if they claim Jesus died on a cross, to end that belief? I don't believe, so it's actually irrelevant. While that's still written in their bibles?, their religions are completely out of order, and they're preaching unacceptable evil and murder, is the reality, the truth! Kill Non-believers They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul, and everyone who would not seek the Lord, God, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man, woman, or child. (2 15:12-13 NAB). Kill Followers of Other Religions... If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or even your beloved wife, or even your intimate friend entices you secretly to serve other gods whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand, or far away, even from one end of the earth to the other, do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. (13:7-12 NAB). Kill People for Working on the Sabbath... The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses, “Tell the people to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is a holy day. Anyone who desecrates it must die, anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat, because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.” (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT). The Koran demands that they fight the Christians and unbelievers, and promises them, If there are twenty amongst them, they will vanquish two hundred, if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of them. Allah and his messenger want them to fight the Christians and the unbelievers, until they pay the Jizya, (a penalty tax for the non-Muslims living under Islamic rules) with willing submission, and until they feel themselves subdued. The Koran takes away the freedom of belief from all humanity. And it relegates those who disbelieve in Islam, to hell, it calls them najis (filthy, untouchable, impure), and orders his followers to fight the unbelievers until no other religion, except Islam, is left. How much longer do they all really see their murderous, devil loving cults, lasting? I'd guess that soon we are going to see a massive revolt against all of them that will result in millions dead. It could even be seen as a form of justice, for all those they and their religions have slaughtered throughout history with their evilness, murder and butchery (that's merely dressed up in disguise, as something good), what a joke that actually is? No good whatsoever, has ever come from ANY religion, none, nothing at all, but it is mankind's most potent killer, more deadly than even disease. They all love to talk about truth and honesty?, yet they're the biggest liars of mankind. They deny everything their religion causes, what it really does, and all the harm, the brutality, and wars it causes, and they deny it with history staring them straight in the face, they all deny categorical proof shown to them, and seem to believe that's just normal?? They talk about love, forgiveness, and all sorts of ethical things?, yet not one of them display anything moral or ethical, EVER! And never have!
Praise God for your incredible testimony! Your journey from homelessness and addiction to finding Jesus and transforming your life is truly inspiring. Your story is a powerful reminder of the redemptive power of faith and the hope that comes from a relationship with Christ. May your home continue to be filled with love and blessings. Hallelujah! 🙌🌟
@@RealUvane One look at those statues n drawin u already know this is a middle age creation. The whole history and civilization of Greece and Alexander conquering all the way to India is one big BS.
Humans used to have some of the most insane architecture. A giant statue strategically placed so it looks like the sun is rising over your king's head is some nut shit.
@@chad63 haha you made me laugh but probably they're already brainwashed that this will help them ascend to heavens and such. suchlike how embarrassing it is in our church if you're the only one seated who hasn't given offering (money and gifts) the people besides you and the collector will look at you like a weird person... 😅
the mindset of that era was most likely way different than today. All the emperors, kings, and queens were all seeking immortality in the sense of going down the history as a legend, a living god thus building monuments in their own image was probably a good way to start.
Oh my lord, litterally, I love you and how far you go to relate history, science, and the Bible together. It is a rare breed of people that really deep dive into the most important book ever written.
"They were disgusted by what they saw: A culture where power and violence were the currency of the day, and sex was a religion" That sound just like our modern times. 🤔
Mitra, in the pantheon of Vedic Hinduism, one of the gods in the category of Adityas, sovereign principles of the universe. He represents friendship, integrity, harmony, and all else that is important in the successful maintenance of order in human existence.
for sure Greeks also collect the best knowledge from around the globe. nowadays only what we have to do is take out the word god and use the meaning of the word which is correct.
Mithra cult came from Persian religion, mithra was not a big deal in brahminism. The correct term is brahmin religion. No such thing as hinduism. They don’t even have a name to call themselves.
One of the best documentary preparatory to the Council of Nicaea, when government and church set the rules for diverting the simple doctrines of Christ for dominating the minds and spirits of mankind
I like the way this video is executed. All the facets of the story are laid out in a way that invites people to look closer and compare notes. Study creates the crucible for knowledge and understanding no matter how controversial the topic might be or become. The truth can stand up to scrutiny. We must prioritize rigorous research and scholarship without surrendering the integrity of real faith in God through Christ.
This Emperor reminds me of today’s people that get converted call the prosperity gospel they believe in Jesus to give them things not for salvation not to live , right but to make them happy on earth with material things, they call it a blessing when God is prepare us to leave this place behind!!!
But he had to win the army first before the population. Mutinies by soldiers were common in Ancient Rome, therefore it was safer to deal with soldiers first.
other way around. Army came first, if you have army you have power. In those days that was the most important thing for a ruler to rule. His father was a great general and thats why he got very popular in the army. He also did very good in the army so that was his starting point.
@@edgardofano537 Constantine The Greats dad was an Illyrian Pagan from somewhere in South Serbia his Mother was Hagia Eleni aka Saint Helen a Greek women equal to the Apostles born in Minor Asia AKA Anatolia now Turkey. Saint Helen was a Christian and found the wood of the cross Jesus Christ was crucified on at Pontius Parlate when it all happened. I'd not blame the Romans as the Romans only followed the demand of the Jewish people that didn't see the King of the Jews as their very own Messiah. As the Jews demanded him to get off the cross and do a miracle to worship him he refused and said. "I'm not king of this world". This symbolizes the Jesus is to be the King of the Jews in Paradise aka Heaven with the Father and Holy Spirit. I won't speak anymore about Jesus Christ but about Constantine's mother Saint Helen. She found the wooden parts of the cross under Pontius Parlate in Jerusalem that the Romans buried by building a temple of the Greek Goddess Aphrodite as the Romans called her Venus. Saint Helen with other Christians demolished this temple of Venus that was above the sight. Many Christians took the pieces of the cross as Holy Relics, Blessings ect.... Saint Helen then arrived to Cyprus in the Akrotiri area where she slept and had a vision of light pointing East towards a Mountain where she'd need to drop of a piece of the cross Christ was crucified on. Saint Helen couldn't go there as visioned as even tho Cyprus has history of cats going back to the Neolithic age there was lots of snakes and couldn't go. So Saint Helen went to Egypt filled an entire ship of cats and went back to Cyprus and released them onto the island. She then was able to go to that mountain and drop the piece of the cross at a location that a Monastery started being constructed in 324AD. This Monastery is an Orthodox Christian Monastery with only Monks and Men for pilgrimage built in 324AD it's called Stavrovouni Monastery. Stavro or Stavros in Greek is Cross and Vouni or Vouno is Mountain. Stavrovouni Monastery is a crucial part of Christendom in general located near the city of Larnaca. In Larnaca also has the tomb and the Church of Saint Lazarus who was Resurrected by Christ. In this Church in Larnaca are allowed in as it's not a Monastery for Monks or only Nuns. I'm a Greek Cypriot and I've personally been to both locations. For Savrovouni I forgot to mention that women are allowed in the parking area to admire and enjoy the view if the Mediterranean, Larnaca, Nicosia in the North and a tiny Church to venerate the icons or take photos of the tiny Church light your candle or take a photo of the Monastery in close distance just not allowed in the Monastery. There is also another part out of the larger pieces of the Cross like in Stavrovouni Cyprus in the Monastic Peninsular of Mt Athos in Northern Greece surrounded by the Provenance of Macedonia with over 20 Orthodox Christian Monasteries over 1000 years old isolated from the modern world for pilgrims from Cyprus, Greece, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia, Russia, Syria & Lebanon ect for the search if interested in the Monastic life. Some Eastern Roman Emperors have been there, members of the Greek Royal Family such as Exiled King Constantine II, Vladimir Putin ect.... Mt Athos has many Holy Relics as well hard to get to, for men and permission from the Monasteries and Abots. Only 2 times in history has there been any journalist invited in with a Documentary on 60 minutes on RU-vid. I also forgot to mention that there is a nice Cypriot village I've sadly never been to and it was not too far from my ancestors village maybe half an hour away called Omodos. This village Omodos the houses, streets, Taverns ect most are made out of rocks and the rest lime stone looking bricks and very touristy looking. It also has a Monastery called Timios Stavros and has the Holy Relics aka the Nails in witch Christ was crucified on the cross. Also coming from an Eastern Orthodox Christian myself you won't really like this but the Roman Catholic Church didn't come to existence since the Great Schism of 1054AD. The Church before the Great Schism was called The One Holy Catholic & Apostolic Church. It's just like the Nicene Creed witch we Orthodox Christians have been using since the 4th Century AD. Katholous in Greek means for everyone meaning the word Catholic. We only changed our name after the Great Schism of 1054AD to Orthothoxi aka Orthodox, meaning the right way. The Eastern half of the Roman Empire was later known as the Eastern Roman Empire or in the Colonial Era as we know it today as the Byzantine Empire was Christian and spoke Greek not Latin. Konstantinoupolis is what we call it aka Constantinople, Aka Nea Romi, New Rome. Constantine The Great was not a Catholic sorry. Was he a pagan? Yes, did he convert to Christianity? Yes as the video shows one perspective and doesn't even mention all the basic info I've known for years now about Saint Helen ect and more evidence proves he converted. But there is also evidence that maybe he was a Pagan until his last days and I believe that due to the evidence claiming Constantine was always a Pagan but not at the very end of his life it was a slow conversion in my opinion. Also yes Pagans still existed after Constantine and worshiped their Polytheistic Gods just like how they still exist today.
@@mariopanago2870I feel like I just attended a really detailed and specific history lecture. Almost overwhelmed with information but grateful for the different facets to research 📚🕯🙏🏻
It's easy to understand why Constantine saw himself as 'divine'... the Cult of the Emperor has its roots in the 'Cult of the Hero', which stretches back through ancient history through heroes such as Julius Caesar (and the other Caesars too!), Alexander, Cyrus, Achilles, Theseus, Jason and Perseus to Herakles and Osiris... and even further! The basis of this cult of the hero was that the hero who conquered all his enemies and thus subdued and subjected the whole (of the known) world to his rule, by doing so, proved his position as the 'Son of Heaven' (or the 'Son of God'...) and thus his semi-divinity. This was what the 'Mysteries' (i.e. the various 'mystery cults' or 'mystery religions') were all about. So it's hardly surprising that Christianity (yet another 'mystery religion') should thus appropriate Constantine as one of 'their own'... Oh, and the 'god' they were supposedly the 'son' of, was most often the Sun! (Though the 'divine Julius' was seen as the descendent of Venus, while Alexander was the 'son of Zeus'). And, as Dr Carrier has shown, intimations of a 'resurrection' were drawn from the 'death and rebirth' of the sun... i.e. the winter solstice. Btw, why does this video of Simcha's remind me so much of Richard Carrier's work? Certainly Mr Jacobovici doesn't quote Carrier or cite him in any of this video... but perhaps he should... I've a feeling he owes a large intellectual debt to Carrier, to say the least. :/
@@haroldbell213 What death means? and why have we given a death a meaning it never had? Death = out from existence? - what proves it? Bible gives another meaning to death. Biblical meaning for DEATH = existence without GOD in the lake of fire. Souls, do not place REALITY into the box of “religions”, for these have nothing to do with one another. (How can light, which expose the darkness, be in the same box with the darkness? Or can a friend and enemy work together?). I am not in "Christian-ism ", i am in the reality. As getting saved IN SPIRIT is real thing. As going to heaven or hell after death = also reality. Being found worthy to be RAPTURED out from here (without tasting the death, souls going to heaven in the blink of an eyes) Tribulation - the 7 final years for the kingdom of satan, whom son of dearth this whole world waits for. - also reality. The Last Christians shall be BEHEADED and going to heaven - also reality. The parts which "religious"? And as it is clear that CHRISTIANITY is not a religion, then why is it tried to be found among the religions? Was not CHRIST also tried to be found among the dead and was not found?
Faith plays a crucial role in shaping cultures and societies. It influences traditions, moral values, social norms, and laws. Different faiths have led to the creation of diverse cultural practices and rituals around the world.
Certainly, however, let's not forget that throughout history a lot of wars and other atrocities have occurred in the name of Christianity and other religions. Some would argue that religion halted human evolution by centuries.
during the time God was convicting me of my sinful life I was in he gave me a dream, in that dream I was living with a partner and she came running into our flat to tell me to come outside, she then ran ahead me when I got out side people were running about look like they was in a state of panic, then all of a sudden I was engulfed by bright orange fire I fell to the floor like a planc of wood just as my face hit the floor I woke up totally freaked out, a week later spoke to a friend who I hadn't spoke to in years, he aske me if I dreamt about fire, shortly after that God led me to Jesus to accept him and I did by onward convictions from the holy spirit as I began to understand, I will never forget that dream. I hope this helps to understand his love for us that he pre warns us b4 time.
god is so powerful and soooo great ! he created humanity just so he ! and he alone, will have the pleasure to create them with default and lonely so he can judge them heaven or hell ! and god will impregnante a woman among the humans. so another god will be born out of her. and this second god will sleep and eats and do everything just as a human would ! but in his late age. he will perform magic tricks as multipling breads and wines ! and he will reveal his identity to the ones ho followed him. but once his identity revealed ! peoples accused him of blasphemy. and he will be crusified for it. but all of that was meant to happens ! cause he died for your sins !!!! and yours ! and yours too ! his died on the cross for your sins be in him as he is in you ! was then ressurect 3 days later and appeared to his disciples in a ghost form for 15 minutes, and immediatly get back to heaven(hell). and if you don't believe that all of this story truly happened, and don't believe what some men a century after his death wroted. jesus will come back in the day of the REVELATIONS and will crush you with his bare hands for disbelieving in him ! happy for you ho believed and didn't see. may your faith be blind as we are fools to christ. for your god can curse the sins of there father even if the sons are innocents ! for you may take slaves for pagan tribes after burning them ! but remenber ! jesus love you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ crosses = light ! DEUTERONOMY 13:12 "if you find a town that worships another god. you must kill everyone in it. men, women, childrens, and animals and burn the town to the ground" DEUTERONOMY 21:10 "you can r*pe captive women, but you cannot resell them as slaves" LUKE 14:26 "if anyone comes to me but does not hate his father, mother, wife, childrens and brother. yes! even he cannot be my disciple" JOHN 15:6 "if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch and is withered, and men gather them, and cast them into fire, and they are burned" REVELATIONS 17 "come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great god! that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men."
Programs like this demonstrate to us how history isn't hidden from us in the way people think but rather evidence, writings and events are generally seen in isolation rather than as part of one continuous series timeline, often things aren't placed into the bigger picture because it would mean that every discipline involved would have to be stopped and it's history added to (or even changed) and passed on immediately to all the world to keep up to date and correct at every moment. So much research goes on around the world at all times as it is and not every new discovery gets included to the subject for many reasons, not all discoveries become well known among other associated disciplines or they are wrongly ignored and so on. To bring every bit of new information included to create an all encompassing databank of a subject like Christianity would mean creating a central organisation of history and that would immediately get assisted of bias towards and against ...whoever, it would be distrusted, accused of bias, heresy, anything you can think of, then there would be the different sects of the religion, arguments between disciplines because say, Paleography disagrees with carbon dating or again, anything you can think of. Then there is 'what kind of Christianity was it?' that would cause disagreements about any secr you can think of. And then.... Associated religions, what type of Islam? Of Judaism? Some would argue 'should they even be included?' or, what ever differences they have enterally regarding elements of Christianity or, Christianities. There is too much information on the topic that its history and events can't be centralised and it presented as one continual linear situation taking place over a 2000+ year period. To have a presentation of Christianity presented in that way would mean a documentary shown nightly over a 35 years length, and it would have to include random recaps regarding sometimes almost pointless events about new things that have shown up at archaeological digs and in libraries etc. It would be a life long never ending endeavour that's for sure
This comment is worthwhile to read and the subject of it surely worth its own lifelong documentary.

just few minutes of this documentary and I already learned a lot... 1-Constantine is a genius strategic cunning ruler... mixing and creating a new religion to gain the favor of others and established is as the truth. 2-His move to use religion in his plan to conquer is a bright move that even people in modern times still adopted this style of gaining the favours of those churches with highest following it can help divert the support of the people in favour of the ruler who was supported by their church. 3-it's easy to manipulate people if you all have same religion, and it's easy to exert power to the followers. 4- if you only fight with only the nobles on your back it's hard to win a battle... but if the masses was also behind your back plus partnered by religion your win is guaranteed. 5- there's this possibility, that if Christianity was really a combination of two religion... how much more connected those other religions are to one another.. they might have been birthed on a single religion before... and then after people just keep creating cults and religions.. so it might be all this gods that we worship were maybe was the same god after all. If this is true, does it mean that all the fights of these religions all through these years were nonsense 🤔🤔🤔 but in a political sense... it really did make sense since politicians and rulers needed power in order to do that they must have a lot of followers or supporters.🤔🤔🤔
@@sagaramskp Except Islam is the newest religion created by man, even christianity is much older than Islam, Hindu/Buddhism/Judaism......all much older than Islam. Islam was created in Saudi Arabia to unite the warring tribes into one tribe so they would stop fighting each other and build their own empire instead, and it worked. All religions are made by man for their own power and financial gain.
It's enjoyable to listen to other people portray their theories. You can only learn from people by understanding their way of thinking, even if it doesn't sit well with you.
Christianity and her 26 denominations are so filled with the Jezebel spirit of false Doctrines it's mind bending how anyone would follow a worldly religion Yahoshua was not of this world he's teachings were in Spirit and Truth.

The cross didn’t become a Christian symbol until Constantine’s mother, Helen, visited the Holy Land, and allegedly discovered remnants of the cross where Christ was crucified. For this reason, it is understood why there are no crosses appearing on Emperor Constantine’s Victory Arch in Rome. The vision that Constantine saw in the skies before his victorious battle was not just the cross, but of Christ’s actual crucifixion.
The great thing about Christianity is that no matter how many times we mess it up, God's Holy Spirit sends a leader to get us back on track. It's not about our success in doing it right. It's about His faithfulness to never give up on us. All we have to do is obey and be grateful
@@Guztenify God gave the Earth, space and oceans to us, for us to see what we can do with it. He has promised us eternity in a perfect existence. I pray you will be able to embrace Christ and accept his gift of salvation
well... God sent a message to bring Christians to the right path after the message of Jesus had been corrupted by men like paul .. and it's the Quran.. on the tongue of his final prophet.. Muhammad PBUH
I find it interesting how both Paul & Constantine had visions before they started their mission. No doubt both of these characters had a huge influence on what is known as Christianity today.
The arrogance of man has no bounds. What an egotistical, weak man, was Constantine. Instead of being wise and noble, he lived his life in a manner which goes completely against his supposed chosen religion. Because he dedicated his life with spite, and a lust for revenge. He may as well have been working for satan. Stupid human.
Rome certainly collected the gods and subsequent aspects of faith/religious beliefs of the people they conquered. To learn the ways and beliefs of the people they conquered would have been highly beneficial to them when it came to ruling over foreign subjects. Out of the mixing pot of religious beliefs they accumulated it would be within their best interest to incorporate the fastest growing belief into their own religious structure in order to consolidate authority for themselves.
@@incorruptibleword4513 They did not willingly incorporate it... The western roman empire died! They fought till their last breaths, the pagan scholars of the 3rd and 4th centuries. By the 5th century it was over... the pagans lost... all the books burned from Porphyry, Celsus, emperor Julian 'the apostate' long live their names!
Yes, Rome was falling in Power, and what way, would Rome Succeed through this Diabolical Power Falling, a Republic without Love, Honor, Respect, and True Faith, allowing a worse condition from the last, moving to Brainwashing and Corrupting the Masses of Society from the only True Spirit of GOD, whom is Sacred, Wholesome and Pure, Jesus Christ... GOD HELP US!
I love how this documentary is being made. I have only one disagreement: The narrator says, "Christians were not persecuted according to their findings." The narrator seems did not observe and learn from history books that, religion against other religion is persecuting each other till the very present time.
With respect to the Sator Square, my Hmong/Chinese heritage also erect the household altar called Xwm Kab - 4 Path. In this altar, we hung on the front wall so that it is visible to the both of the doors coming inside of the home. The 4 Path (annual goals): 1. to ensure plentiful of food, 2. being healthy, 3. prosperity so that 4. continuation of family can be extended in the plentiful births. Perhaps it's just human nature to have such outlook in life for both the physical and spiritual realm. As for Emperor Constantine creating Jesus in his image, one of my learning experiences had also taught the idea that the god (s) made us in their images and that they believe in us human along with all life forms. Just a thought.
I never thought Constantine was a sincere Christian because there is little to no evidence that he was, aside from the stories, which are very inconsistent, that Eusebius wrote down. But, many of the “lines of evidence” here were hardly unique to Constantine, such as being “divine”, being pontifex maximus, portraying himself as driving a quadriga like the sun gods, erecting grandiose statues of himself, etc. It does make sense that he would use Christianity to win support of the army, but there weren’t that many political elites that were Christian yet. However, he likely won more military support through his victories than Christanity. I do think he was a good propagandist who picked and chose those elements from various religions that would enhance his image as a powerful emperor. He didn’t even end the persecution of Christians for more than a year after his “conversion”, he was probably keeping his options open while he tested the waters. It surprises me how to often I hear people say “Constantine made Christianity the only legal religion of the empire”, he didn’t. Roman Catholicism retains many pagan, ancient Roman, elements to this day; it’s essentially polytheistic, icon-worshiping, and has an “infallible” emperor/christ-on-earth, the pope.
Yes. But the Christian "fish" is not taken from Babylon. It is the cryptic representation of the acrostih "i.c.h.t.u.s." which accidentally means "fish" in Greek..
That fish symbol is the symbol of Dagan the fish deity. It's not the symbol or sigil of Semiramis. Tired of this forced feminism where every damn thing becomes female. Give proper credits to the symbol. It's the symbol of Dagan(A MALE GOD) not Semiramis(a mere female queen). I don't know why filth blooded Anglo-Saxons are so feministic, racist, cowards and of course merciless.

It wasn't a vision of a cross. It was the "sign of Christ"... It was basicaly Christ's initials in Greek "Christos"... It was only later that the crucifix became synonymous with Christ
There's a correction required in the second segment, regarding the (misidentified) secret Roman Christians in the cave. The cross was not linked to Christianity, the cross inscriptions are linking Mithra to the true identity, Marduk-- Babylon. Christianity today is still blind to cross worship. All roads do not lead to Rome.... they lead to Babylon. Mithraic Temples were all underground.
How can it not be linked to Christianity when the Babylonians used this symbol specifically for Jesus? It appears to go hand in foot when it comes to idol worshipping.
You most likely got it wrong. There's none cross-like symbol in Mithraism. If you argue about the cross being equal armed cross, I do agree on that one, which is linked to Sumerian. However the equal armed cross we've seen here is different compare to Sumerian symbols.
The cross became a Christian symbol much later, but the first Christian symbols such as the Chi Rho and others were found all throughout the underground caves. The fact that Christianity spread underground in Rome is an undisputed fact of history recorded by many early Christians.

"For 1500 years people accepted the story [...] But our investigation revealed another story". Being a journalistic investigation, there is freedom of speech, and using this freedom, the development of new theories is proclaimed. It's just that in many sources of recent historians, we have similar points of view. The work of tens and hundreds of historians is implicitly non-existent and we only have this film that brings news after 1500 years? I don't think it's fair. On the other hand, a real historical investigation is much more complicated and you have to take into account much more information and not issue sentences, several options may remain open. A historical investigation never begins with "The Truth..".

It is well known that Romans were pantheonists, very superstitious, and because of that, worshipped many gods, including any that were worshipped in the territory that they conquered, as a means of appeasement to those deities for being invading their lands. It doesn’t mean that they were Christians, but another deity that they “acquired” among the ones they already knew.
So are you saying that "christians" or in fact ANY of the Abrahamic religions adherents are not SUPERSTITIOUS ???? Sorry I ask as I don't understand your comment.

Just another fun fact or two: it was Constantine's wife Helen who was the devout christian of the family. Following jis military success at reuniting the empire, she persuaded him to convene the council of Nicene to sort out the various Christian factions, thus paving the way for official recognition as one of the tolerated religions of the empire. Remember there were many tolerated religions, the largest of which was Mithraism. It wasn't until Honorious Caesar that Christianity became the official Roman religion, in 450CE, 175 years later. Roman Catholism didn't start till 700CE, and the Holy Roman Empire dates from 800CE. The Christianity of 100CE eas far different to that of 325CE, and both were different from that of 450CE, and all were radically different from that of 700CE and 800CE. Christianity had devolved from a belief in brotherhood and community, to a hierarchy of bishops and teachers (priests) by 325CE, with additional hierarchy of cardinals and popes by 450CE. It's patently obvious that Christianity had been irreparably corrupted by 700CE to what reigned throughout the middle ages. Even the message of James and Paul and Peter has been deconstructed and rebuilt. The gnostics, the Arians, the Celtic churches, the many eastern offshoots etc, now exist as tiny communities. The main branches of Christianity, Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant all have their factions, but numerically are the largest group globally. But they are second to the combined total of non-religious, Atheist, and non-affiliated.
There is a man with wings flying that looks like an angel at 6:23 and the guy right in front of him looks Pope-ish, but it doesn't necessarily mean an angel. Many characters in mythology have wings.
Winged ppl and images of Renaissance are all based from roman art works and gods ....none fit the distribution in the bible. So the angle like figure woulda still been pagan imagery for the time it was created it wasn't associated with "angles" are u see today yet which like I said is based from the Romans pagan images
I got bad news for you Paul, even God has wings. Isaiah 8:8 says he does and heres more bad news for you. Jesus, before he came to earth as a man was the Angel of God. Yup!! Zechariah 12:8 tells you this. It's a 2 part verse, answer the first part and it'll give you the answer to the second part. And here's the question you need to ask yourself about the first part of the verse. Who in the line/ house of David is most like God?? From David all the way to Jesus?? Jesus is the one most like God. And that's your answer to the first part of the verse. Making him the Angel of God. He's the one that spoke to Moses in the burning bush and he is the one that wrestled with Jacob in Genesis and he is the one that appeared in front of Balaam's donkey in Numbers and he is the Angel that spoke with Manoah in. This is why he is called the word of God because he is God's speaker. John 5:37 or 38 says No one has seen God or heard his voice at any time. This means that someone else is speaking for God. That someone is his Son. Which is an angel.
At about the 41:30 mark you mentioned Domitian as one of the greatest persecutors of early Christians. I have found no evidence that there was any widespread persecution by Domitian. Eusebius mentioned a Domitian persecution about 200 years after the fact, but that appears to be more of an embellishment than a historical fact. What are your sources for a Domitian persecution? Thanks, Dan

Christianity would have started in the army low ranks not with the emperor. The first gentile christian was the Centurion Cornelius and his slaves and household. It would have started from their then over the century up to the emperor.

@@rasheednode - Well, I diagree on that part because it's believed by many people to be a war for order and there is a story behind it where Krishna had promised not to interfere in the war since him taking part in the war would have caused destruction on a much larger scale than what happened in the Mahabharata war. So, he remained silent plus many also believe that war was a test between two bloodlines of humans and God just took a backseat and supported the ones who were on the 'good' side. So, that's what they believe.
@@rasheednode - But I am sure there are many unexplored religions which are greater than Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Shintoism, Daoism, Christianity, Wiccanism, Islam, Judaism and of course Zoroastrianism.

This video was not as factual as it pretended to be, and had made a silly mix-up of historical facts as early at 7:00 when the narrator said that if there were Christians in the Roman Army who crucified Jesus, they would not have persecuted Christians. But it glossed over the fact that those conversions among the Roman Legions were done post factum when they were already soldiers. In fact, there were martyrs among them, who when discovered as Christians that goes against the pagan belief of their divine emperor, gave up their lives for Christ. E.g. the 40 Martyrs of Sebaste, St Sebastian, the Theban Legion (Martyrs of Agaunum). These few examples shows that the fact these were post-conscription conversion because Christianity was just spreading in the Roman Empire in those days, and also proves that Christians in the army were neither tolerated by the emperor who finds it a personal affront to worship the Christian God, IESUS CHRISTUS. There really was no cross nor any Christian symbol on the Constantinian Arch because that was made by pagan artisans and was commissioned by a pagan emperor called Constantine (9:05). In fact, the narrator failed to consider the fact that Constantine did not convert immediately to Christianity after defeating Maxentius, and received Baptism only hours before he died from a heretic Arian Byzantine priest, Eusebius of Nicomedia. It also glossed over the fact that Christianity was still outlawed in AD311. So even with Constantine's legendary vision of the Cross or the Khi-Rho (XP or ☧), which were the first 2 letters of the Greek Χριστός (Christos), that symbol was still illegal and was not the cause of celebration yet on that arch but rather the wrestling of power from Maxentius that paved the way for Constantine to be emperor. In fact, Constantine, dabbled up with paganism while still in power, while paving the way for the legalization of Christianity that came to be when he signed the edict of Milan (AD313) with co-emperor Licinius. Conversely, the documentary also proposes the allegiance of some Roman soldiers to Mithraism which was also supposed to be outlawed because it it contradicts the divine emperor belief. Nonetheless, the documentary makes it appear that Constantine manipulated these diverse believers with the vision of the cross. Quite incoherent conclusion: a poorly stitched bits-and-pieces of facts to come up with a concocted story.
Acts 10:1-48 Cornelius Sends for Peter 1At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment. 2He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly. 3One day at about the ninth hour,a he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!” 4Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God. 5Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.b” 7When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants. 8He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa. Peter’s Vision (Leviticus 11:1-47; Deuteronomy 14:1-21) 9The next day at about the sixth hour,c as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air. 13Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!” 14“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impured or unclean.” 15The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” 16This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven. Peter Called to Caesarea 17While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate. 18They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there. 19As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.e 20So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.” 21So Peter went down to the menf and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?” 22“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.” 23So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa. Peter Visits Cornelius 24The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him. 26But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.” 27As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together. 28He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean. 29So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?” 30Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour.g Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me 31and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God. 32Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’ 33So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.” Good News for the Gentiles 34Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism, 35but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right. 36He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. 37You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed: 38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him. 39We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree, 40God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen- 41not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead. 42And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead. 43All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.” The Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:1-7) 44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message. 45All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said, 47“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!” 48So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
At minute 20:50, statues of Dacians (modern-day Romania) are shown. All Dacians wore this type of headgear. These statues were created to commemorate Trajan's victory and later repurposed for Constantine. Though dedicated to Constantine, much of the sculptural decoration consists of reliefs and statues removed from earlier triumphal monuments dedicated to Trajan (98-117), Hadrian (117-138) and Marcus Aurelius (161-180), with the portrait heads replaced with his own.

Yes exactly, and his theory and why he included these emperors in his Arch is also wrong. Constantine didn’t deserve this triumphal arch, the rule was you had to win a battle outside the empire. Constantine didn’t do that. The inclusion of 3 of the 5 good emperors was to up Constantine’s profile. It was a PR move.
This explains why the cross above the oven at 1:22:55 and 2:02:28 has a vertical member resembling the club of Hercules that is "piercing" a sideways 'I' that might represent Yeshua ( _Iesus_ in Latin even then). There is a graffiti in Rome that shows the title of Commodus, _Herculo Romano Augusto_ separated by a vertical Hercules club so that to the right were words _culo ano usto_ which means, "burns the ring of the hole" 😳😨 That image of the Pozzuoli Graffito they showed at 1:53:09? If you google it and examine it closely you'll find that the poor bloke in animal skins was "riding" a horn-shaped vertical peg and appeared to be in the throes of some kind of physical pleasure. 😳 The peg was attached to a horizontal strut that in turn was supported by a large quarter-round. It is as though the Romans made the cross ( _crux_ = torture stake ) as a stick figure of Priapus and in the literature it was even equated with Priapus! 🤯
What about the possibility of those being maker’s marks that had been carved into the building’s stones to possibly show who was due payment and for how many men or how much work or payment being due? It was not uncommon for maker’s marks to have been found on outward facing stones in walls during such early times.

It's true! I love to watch about such stuff! I can not understand how Jesus Criste is God! Who decided to JC will be God? What is purpose of the holly father , holly ghost, holly son? Who r they? Who is God in Christianity? What is purpose of saints? To save people in different situations? Isn't it Gods job? The holly ghost or Jesus, or...Omg, I'm confused ...r saits Gods? If yes, then the Christianity can not be assumed as monotheistic religion! The monotheistic religion has it origin in ancient Egypt! When in church, mosque or synagogue the believers shouting "Amin". Do u know what does it means? Amin is for AMON RA! Circum 4 000 000 000 people is calling Amon ra!
Not all Christianity is a blend. But Catholicism IS hybridized Christianity and paganism. This is something that today's average Evangelical does not understand. But before the Ecumenical movement, back when we called Evangelicals Protestants (because they protested the Roman Catholic Church's teachings), it was better understood. For some reason, the presenter failed to make this distinction. I can see why, nobody wants to be accused of Catholic bashing. The Reformation was about returning to a purer form of Christianity; ideally one devoid of pagan influence and doctrinal error. Some denominations have reformed out paganism more than others.
@@riha6468 there is much more for exemple KONSTANTIN IS IN THE TRUTH. KOST-(A) and means BONE 2.The place where Jesus was crucified is callet GOLET and it is translated as a skull ,which is WRONG. GOLET means someting else and is still used in my speech and it means BARE LAND or place wigthout vegetation.Way it was translated wrong is a milion dolar question.And one more thing ,just the name of Jesus is debatable ,but it is very possible that it is (ancient writing ISO =ISHO) means the one who constantly went from place to place,literally.
This documentary is interesting and full of mysteries. It mentions Constantine, but there is no mention of Saint Helena, Constantine's mother. Was she a myth? Did the church make up this saint as they did with so many nonreal saints? Eye opener... There is so much to discover in this world.
you can't trust in most of the history unless there is artifacts, mozaic drawing, tablets, chronics, monuments to back it up.. that's why I don't think bible is any historical book, just a myth... No any artifacts or tablets from the time Jesus suppose to live to prove his existence.. how then he would be consider historical figure... Only 1 book + 3-4 Roman Historians ( one of them Josephus Bar Mathias who was Jewish and became the right hand of Titus - the emperor. And he is consider the one who may translate the Torah to the Romans, so they could write the bible)
