When an empire is in decline what does it mean? I don't know if you're blind or you're just purposely dodging the part where it said, he failed to save it from decline. The same link also said that before he brought all factions of the empire under his rule there were several claimants to the throne and Rome was also fractioned deeply.

İt is you i should be asking that question.

You are desperate.
It said “strategic and you economic decline.”

He brought all factions under his Throne, so why decline if he brought them back together.

The term “Chrestianity” goes beyond antioch.

Kindly explain how economic decline has to do with what you said here.


There was no “Christianity” before Constantine, Constantine created NICENE CHRISTIANITY.
The Roman Catholic created edited and complied your New Testament starting from sinaiticus.

You guys were first called “Christian” by Agrippa in Antioch.


Hian. I never said what you're saying isn't true bros, which kind misfire be this.

And decline doesn't mean economic decline only, it means on all fronts. Military might, stability etc. The Roman empire wasn't just having it at the time. Constantine was a breath of fresh air, but still he didn't save shit.

By the way, i am not a Christian.

Have you read any of Dan brown books

You mean the Da Vinci Code nonsense?
Dan Brown is a confused man. Being a New York best Seller doesn't mean reality validates your claims.
The man believes there's a supreme being, but decided to come up with fictitious puzzles to confuse weak minds the more.
I know him. Yeah, so what's about him?

The context there was talking about strategic and economic decline even though Constantine moved the state capital.

How did a small sect called “Chrestianity” first in antioch help Constantine?

Why decline? Read the goddamned article. What's my business with Antioch by the way?

You should read the whole darn thing and stop cherry picking.

The context there was clear, stop reading another meaning to it!


Antioch is the place the term “Chrestianity” was first given to “nazarene”
How can you be making this claim about “Christianity” without knowing its origin?

Strategic and economic decline? Please show me where it said that. You're just fixing words in my mouth. İf you can kindly show me where I said a small sect helped Constantine I'd be grateful.

Now, you have begun to lie because, every one has confessed that it is hard to see a righteous person.



I said it before saying
"you are jobless as they are, your children are hungry, homeless, useless, drug addicts, lonely, suicidal, useless marriages, divorce, no family, no love, no friends, painful incurable diseases, miserable living, constant depression, etc



Now that I know you lie, it is no surprise that you lie here, for if you were truly aware of the "good old days" you would never have asked



And if you truly knew about the good old days, then you would know that Sunday church was a no miss, then!

But because you did not know, you made the mistake asking these stupid questions.

So, you see, you are a liar, just like Satan, which is why you must hate God, just like Satan.

So since you resort to lies, clearly you have no thing reasonable or valid to say.

And this clearly proves that all atheists are wicked evil people!
I have forgotten how quite demented you r grin
1. There are actually people that r more righteous than u r. If u don't believe it, don't assume me to be a liar. U lie a lot
2. All those qualities u mentioned are actually qualities of a typical Nigerian
Again, I ask 'How is your life better than a typical atheist in America or Europe?' You have dodged that question
3. When has 'Sunday churches' been a sign of righteousness? I thought u said 'churchgoers' r not Christians? grin

It takes lots of faith to believe this. First law of thermodynamics, States that the energy in a closed system is zero. Nothing can come into perfect existence by itself.

And who told you the universe was a closed system when it was formed? Also the First law of thermodynamics DOES NOT state that the energy in a closed system is zero, rather that the amount of energy gained by the system, during an interaction between the system and the surrounding, must be exactly equal to the amount of energy lost by the surroundings.

It's my biggest regrets today. I can remember 2014 when i joined nairaland, something led me to discover Seun, I started following him and reading his post. I was so facinated with whatever he posted.

The same year, he began to talk alot about atheism. There was one post he made thus 'Why every athiest must be outspoken,. This and alot of his post overtime changed my religious view.

2018? is when i started looking for Jesus after some spiritual experience.

Trust me, God exists.
Any prove I have an open mind

What's your view about Science?

I personally believe science over religion. Science asks questions & those questions lead to answers or at the very least, lead to the possibility of answers. On the other hand, religion is full of many lies & dogma;just do as you're told, don't ask questions. In religion, even when you are ASSURED that something would go a certain way & it fails to go that way, there would always be another excuse as to why the "assurance" failed. ��‍♂️

I'm not an atheist, I just do not believe in any religion. I believe in a supernatural higher power, I just do not believe in religion.

I can relate well. You're right tho. But I'm glad I finally found the answer after all the twists , with long lasting peace.

I wouldn’t call myself an Atheist. Rather, an Agnostic.
Whether there’s a God or gods somewhere is never my lookout. What I do know is that he or she doesn’t pay my bills.

He has more than shown you love, He even gave it.

But the problem is that you people do not want to love Him too, yet you expect Him to keep giving you, even more.

As you can see, He does not do that. And no one does that.
You can't understand. Is making your son suffer unnecessarily one of the ways of showing love to him?
PS: I'm not an atheist, I can humbly and confidently say that I'm a very good Christian

I think most atheist get it all muddled up when they start tryna trace their way back through a hole and a bubble...
I got to this point too, but it always ended up in my looking stupid, until I asked the question, "What is the purpose of life?"
That was when lines began falling in places and the puzzles began fitting, creating a vivid picture of the dimensional realities that hold existence together.
I never hated the idea of a Creator, I only had an open mind to learn
so bros. what's the purpose of life?
