Lol, what do you want me to say? It's not new that the Catholics are perverts.

RandomGuy48:
Your own source contradicts you.

"Constantine now became the Western Roman emperor. He soon used his power to address the status of Christians, issuing the Edict of Milan in 313. This proclamation legalized Christianity and allowed for freedom of worship throughout the empire."

Does it say anything about making Christianity the state religion? No. It just says it was legalized and allowed freedom of worship, as I noted.

1Sharon:
Noooo

There is no excuse for cheating.
My point still stands a married man can't be 'snatched' from his wife. He made that choice to cheat. He is not mindless.

You men really need to fight against that word 'snatched' it makes y'all sound like mindless idiots.

Do you get it?

Only objects and little kids can be snatched, not grown ass men.

1Sharon:
I haven't personally but have heard. A woman can't go after a married man unless he condone it. All he has to do is shut it down

1Sharon:
What are you talking about ??

Can he be snatched if doesn't allow himself to be snatched ?? Is he a little kid?? Your comment just made men look like simple idiots without a brain

1Sharon:
A man cannot be snatched from anybody without his consent. He's not a robot.

Hold on, how does this guy know with confidence which national officials to approach with this kind of proposal knowing fully well that if they refuse his proposal, it's over for him cos the next thing is for them to report him to the police especially when he even came PHYSICALLY into the country?

The Edict of Milan was a letter signed by the Roman emperors Constantine and Licinius, that proclaimed religious toleration in the Roman Empire. The letter was issued in February, 313 AD and stopped the persecution of Christians.

With the Edict of Milan there began a period when Constantine granted favors to the Christian Church and its members. The exact words of the edict are no longer known.



The Edict of Thessalonica (also known as Cunctos populos), issued on 27 February AD 380 by three reigning Roman Emperors, made Nicene Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire.

RandomGuy48:
You say to "forget all the lies and spin" and then immediately throw out a flat-out lie. Constantine did not make Christianity the state religion. All he did was legalize it, ending persecution and putting it on equal legal footing with other religions. He certainly favored it, but did not make it the official religion.

Christianity didn't become the state religion until the Edict of Thessalonica, which was issued 43 years after Constantine's death.

I am not ashamed of my gender Dante, and hide it to avoid patronising pigs who instead of engaging with topics at hand want to focus on my tits. See it as saving you from being blinded by them.

MuttleyLaff:
It is better you slam your thick blocked head on a concrete wall, maybe that way, your brain will reset

I wish its me slap reset your brain for you, because your hand lacks correlation with your brain, you when you get a hard on, jump on faith threads and just straight away begin typing nonsense with your rationed data. Everything goes swoosh over your head, like as if it was a Naija Airforce fighter jet and "you don't know warris going on" You have a one-track mind, you do selective reading and you're self conceited. Why dont you first learn to ride, before you next jump on that your high horse, eh? Mtcheeew.

Mind your own business, mind your own lane, mind your own race. Stop sticking your nose in other people's affairs or sexuality. Stick to the message and not the messengers, stick to the program

And it won't just be for those 42 young men, you shall also die the second dead like them, if you keep going this way.

budaatum:
You are very free to avoid me for whatever reason you so desire, I have no control over what you do nor did I pay for your data! And while you are it, leave my gender and bat or birdness out of it too as it's irrelevant to the discussion at hand!

Your point is noted but wrong. The fact that some claim to adhere to a religion does not mean they do. Such people are specifically mentioned as saying Lord Lord but not doing the will of the Lord, and we are specifically told to:

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."

Christians who point fingers at Muslims should learn to mind the forest in their own eye instead of worrying about the twig in the eyes of Muslims. And intelligent people do not tarnish a whole bunch because of a bad few.

MuttleyLaff:
Oooh, someone is getting touchy here. Someone cant take the heat in the kitchen. Someone is unable to take as much as they give. Someone all of a sudden is a crusader, mouthpiece, poster boy and advocate for Muslims. What an unsophisticated line is "most times I avoid you because I have no time for this dancing around in circles." Pftt.

According to the terms and conditions of the Covenant between the Israelites and God, that was the expected punishment, as in, to be mauled by wild animals, literally or figuratively, for what transpired between Elisha and those young men. Dont forget the crucial info, that, they were young men and not kids.

It is written that If all the trees of the earth were pens and the oceans ink, with many more oceans for replenishing them, the colloquy of God would never come to end. He is indeed all-mighty and all-wise". You may see a list of some books that a decree eliminated from the Bible here. Those who live by bread alone will clearly be malnourished, and do not worship God. You don't know how little or much I know so lets stick to the facts and the topic at hand.

As you yourself say, "Christianity were a rag pack of prosecuted and unorganized preachers". It's rather unlikely that a "rag pack of prosecuted and unorganized preachers" could possibly have done what you suggest they did before a Roman decree.

I note you avoided my step out the door question. I insist that your parents are likely religious but do not thirst for blood.

budaatum:
I'm going to assume that you are not some ignorant religious person who believes the little he knows and cares more about facts and the truth. Please don't prove me wrong.

To start with, Christianity did not start with Constantine and his mother Helena, nor was Constantine the only Christian. And Muslims and Christians are those who adhere to the teachings of those religions and not the ignorant foolish idiots who go about shouting Lord Lord.

Muslims and Christians are not as bloodthirsty as you claim and you just need step out your door to know this. In fact, you don't likely have to step out your door if your patents were Muslims or Christians. I don't know them but I can bet my last dime that they do not and have never thirsted for blood.

Do let me know if I am wrong please.

budaatum:
You tarnish everyone with the same brush in error. There have been more peaceful religious people than terrorist religious people and the religious texts are not responsible for the ignorant few.

It's a pity we give you any evidence to make such errors though. Please accept my most sincere apology.

jcross19:
any man who justified the killing in the bible by claiming that God instructed them to do so in fact you are nothing but alqaida!

MuttleyLaff:
Say hi to your chimp cousin in the JPEG up there for me. Tell him smoking is bad for his health

MuttleyLaff:
Unlike you I have no reason and/or excuse to be masturbating over this thread or any other thread for that matter.

The direct and plain fact is that, the comment "go up baldie" actually was a mockery statement telling Elisha to go to hell, go up in blazes just like his boss Elijah did, that they had and want nothing to do with God nor His representative Elisha.

According to the terms and conditions of the Covenant between the Israelites and God, that was the expected punishment, as in, to be mauled by wild animals, literally or figuratively

This is why I always say having a discussion with people suffering from biblical illiteracy and who suspend using their grey cells is like feeding pigs with berries

MuttleyLaff:
They werent kids, these were young men on a concerted attack and organised mission that God and His prophet representing Him, are not wanted, would not be tolerated, are not welcome in their city.

Nothing hilarious in this tragic incident, but quite a lot to learn from and out of it, I'll say.

There isnt any struggle in explaining the passage. The passage is more like, if you know, you know. Who no know, no go know

They werent children, they were youths, young men, about same age as Elisha in fact, when the bears attacked.

Death is inevitable. Something must kill a man. Death will come and is mandatory too

Death is a universal truth that can never be defied. We cant change this truth, we all are born with limited breath. Weirdly enough, when you come to think of of it, there are no punishment far worse than death.

They were killed, mauled by the bears. The young men were frozen to the spot with fright when the bears appeared. They likely wanted to run but their feet were literally rooted to the ground, as if glued to the spot and locked-in to the ground. They couldnt run, because they were paralysed out of fear of seeing two blood thirsty bears baying for their puny hide and arse.

Ecclesiastes 7:17 states that: "Do not excel at wickedness, nor be a fool. Why die before your time?"

Those young men got their comeuppance. They carelessly shortened their lives by their bad and/or foolish actions. Abraham and Jacob, probably were turning in their graves at the behaviour of those young men. Abraham and Jacob, were probably rubbing their eyes in disbelief, wondering isnt this the same Bethel we knew and a place we associated with God.

It is tragic, that because Deuteronomy 6:2 was ignored, the young men didnt live a long time, didnt enjoy a long life and the promise that their days may be long didnt happen for them.

There was a covenant between them and God. The covenant had terms and conditions. Read Deuteronomy 5:1-33 and Deuteronomy 6:1-25, to know more about the covenant made between them and God at Mount Horeb.
