"Rome's new religion" was never true Christianity. The way isn't that broad and the gate isn't that wide to salvation. And there's a mother, too. No.He was a Christian. So was his mother, Helen. He was a conqueror, and did indeed spread Rome's new religion throughout his empire.

The worldly emperor was not a believing Christian, and neither are you, when you date women but you won't marry any of them, because of that stupid INCEL culture that has pervaded the Catholic church for 1000 years ever since Pope Gregory VII dissolved all legitimate marriages throughout the priesthood, restricting male priests to practicing homosexuality and patronizing prostitutes.Of course he was a Christian. You are what people in german call Sektierer, that you are in a Sekte, that means cult in english. You are not Christian, you are a cultist.

You've got sisters, female cousins pics you've posted I don't believe you're not dating. If a man doesn't like women then what business does he have serve as a priest and bless the lawful weddings and marriages of men who do like women?I dont date women at all. And I want to marry a woman, only one, but right now and for a long time I dont date at all. And you are not a Christian, you are ridicolous you basically say there were no Christians until Huss and Luther, who were Catholics too.

The "church" isn't the sort of "lady" who can accept the seed of a natural man's copulation, nor is it right for a man to castrate himself in order to sing in tune with the choir.he abstains because he is married to the Church.
Christmas is fake ask and receive and seek and find. People seek to see what package has their name on it. Money is used. Satan's mind is in the church. Christmas therefore comes from the mind of Satan, fooling people into thinking they are obeying what Jesus said, not doing that at all. It is not going to a store making a request verbally, in a tree made by people. Can you imagine a tree saying, that will be 25 dollars for a bushel of apples? Fork it over?I find this piece interesting and tellworthy, because nowadays many denie the christian roots of Christmas they just equal it with ancient pagan roots, and consumerism. They want to erase the Christ out of Christmas. Many just say "But Christmas is pagan not Christian."

Catholic Roots of Christmas
December 19, 2020
Christmas honors the pivotal day which altered all of history. Christians around the world celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Christ Jesus. On this day, God Incarnate departed the hidden tabernacle of Mary’s womb into the blissful embrace of His mother’s arms. And she, in turn, presented this unblemished child, this Divine Gift, to all the world that we might adore Him as “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
As with any child’s arrival, there are many preparations to be made before welcoming the new family member; an expecting family gathers bathing items, blankets, and a collection of cozy outfits. Faithful members of the Catholic Christian family prepare for Christ’s coming by observing the season of Advent.
Advent is a time of joyful anticipation in which the faithful prepare their hearts for the most special arrival of the Divine Infant. Formally introduced by the Council of Tours in 567 AD, the Advent season begins four Sundays prior to Christmas Day. This period provides a precursor to the special holy day when the Light of the World shines amidst the darkness, the Sign of Hope dispels all despair.
One Catholic tradition orienting believers toward Christ’s coming is the Nativity Scene. This practice harkens back to Medieval times when in 1223, St. Francis of Assisi directed a live nativity scene as a form of public remembrance honoring Christ’s birth. St. Francis wanted to bring the Gospels to life, assigning parts for Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and others so that in witnessing this reenactment, all people would learn the extraordinary story of God’s love for mankind. Often the nativity creche remains empty until Christmas Eve as a reminder that the faithful eagerly await the Christ child. And when the Divine Infant arrives, how much greater is the joy during the Christmas vigil when Baby Jesus joins the Holy Family and all humanity!
When the faithful prepare their hearts properly, the blessings of Christmas may be appreciated in full. “We Christians are called to safeguard and spread the joy of waiting,” Pope Francis declared in a Vatican address. Additionally, much as the faithful await Christ’s birth in remembrance of the first Christmas, the Catholic liturgical readings point the faithful toward awaiting Christ’s ultimate return upon Judgement Day.
According to Catholic tradition, the rejoicing of Christ’s coming lasts considerably longer than one great day. Rather, it stretches from the Christmas vigil Mass until the Feast of the Epiphany, sometimes called Three Kings’ Day.
Why did the Church choose to celebrate Christ’s birth on December 25? The most direct answer is that according to the Roman calendar, this day marked the winter solstice. Saint Augustine explained the significance of this day in remembering Christ’s coming, writing, “on the day which is the shortest in our earthly reckoning and from which subsequent days begin to increase in length. He, therefore, who bent low and lifted us up chose the shortest day, yet the one whence light begins to increase.”
The most excellent Catholic tradition of celebrating Christmas as a family is attending Holy Mass together. Even young adults who may have strayed from observing other tenets of their Catholic faith will often return to Mass with their families in order to observe the sacred Feast of the Nativity.
Christmas is a rare time when the Mass readings differ according to the order in which the Mass is offered. There are four distinct Christmas Masses. The Vigil Mass is offered at the start of Christmas Eve. The Mass of the angels is a popular celebration, offered at midnight. The Dawn Mass is called the Mass of the Shepherds; it is offered early morning. Finally, on Christmas Day, the priest offers the Mass of the Divine Word.
The Christmas octave is punctuated with a feast that originally honored Christ’s circumcision. In present times, the Catholic Church commemorates the first day of the year as the Feast of Mary, Mother of God. This holy day respects Mary’s unique human privilege of forming Christ physically and spiritually before releasing Him into the world to fulfill His divine salvific work.
The end of the Christmas season points toward this extraordinary mission for which God entered the world. According to Catholic tradition, the Magi, called the Three Kings, spent 12 days following a star. The brilliant star led them to Bethlehem, where Jesus had just been born. The Wise Men—Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar—presented three symbolic gifts to the Holy Family for their newborn son. The kings presented to the Divine Child gold to honor His kingship, frankincense to honor His priesthood, and myrrh to honor His humanity.
Many families around the world present gifts to one another either in celebration of Christmas Day or in commemoration of the Three Kings. The faithful fulfill the Christmas spirit when offering their own hearts to the Divine Messiah who humbled Himself to enter the world as a small child.

So, you are taking the time and space on a thread about Christianity to criticize Judaism? What sort of person are you? Christianity was begun by Jews who didn't want to wait for (or believe in) the Judaic Messiah. It is true that Christianity was based upon Judaism, but ..... it was a new religion with a clean slate with which to make up new rules. So what did they do? They created the new religion with lots of hocus-pocus and even more superstition. Great improvement, huh?You sound Jewish, but it was found that that religion of the Old Testament was not saving, because yes, Satan's mind was in the synagogues even as it is in churches today.
If "money is used" as you say in most churches, and as I would presume, to buy influence or political power or to bribe public officials, then the self-professed Christian churches today are in no better shape than the Jewish synagogues at the time of Jesus Christ when He was crucified.
There's the crosstree to which Jesus was nailed, that was sold, sure, for 30 pieces of silver ......
Not true. Now I know what sort of person you are. One who spreads lies........ Judas one of the twelve who betrayed him with a kiss.

We need to be saved with our skin and teeth and internal organs intact. The Jewish doctoring had to be deprecated.So, you are taking the time and space on a thread about Christianity to criticize Judaism? What sort of person are you?
The appointed time had arrived, and the star of Him who should be born the King of the Jews appeared in the East, and the Wise Men (Magi) had to bid their friends and families farewell and set out on a long journey of two years duration.Christianity was begun by Jews who didn't want to wait for (or believe in) the Judaic Messiah.
The law was broken and the old covenant was disannulled because of its unprofitability and weakness through the mayhem, mass murder, and carnage of human flesh with all that wicked doctoring.It is true that Christianity was based upon Judaism, but ..... it was a new religion with a clean slate with which to make up new rules.
That was Judas Iscariot, but even Peter, who sat by the fire and warmed himself, denied Jesus, and Thomas doubted.Not true. Now I know what sort of person you are. One who spreads lies.
The fact that it is now Friday-Saturday?What for heavens sake sounds here "Jewish"?
What a load of crap.We need to be saved with our skin and teeth and internal organs intact. The Jewish doctoring had to be deprecated.

The Jews who departed Goshen never gave up the cruel practices of those evil midwives.
