The foundation of modern christianity

[Pax]

The rise of Christianity is directly linked to Emperor Constantine converion to Christianity and formation of the Roman Catholic Church. All Christian sects are offshoots of the Catholic church. The trouble is did Constantine really convert to christian or did he simply convert christianity to pagan worship in the form of saints. There are saints that correspond to the greek and roman lesser gods. People pray to saints as they would a lesser god.

My question is would'nt this pervision of christianity make all christian religions corrupt and false religions?

That's not to say that there was no moses, jesus and etc.

But it is to say that the bible and chrisitianity have probably undergone pagan tampering.

Easter/Ostara is another.

Well, obviously, Pax, what early Christians believed has no relevance these days. Martin Luther has taught us that whatever you pull out of your ass while reading the Bible is whatever Jesus actually meant.

Original point. Bible has been tampered with. Original recipe poisoned!!!

Does ANY so-called-christian actually do what Jesus says in the bible?

Most Christians do what Jesus says. He says to accept the fact that you are a sinner, try not to sin and ask for forgiveness for said sins. You do not have to stop sinning.

[Dr Strangelove]

I don't think that Constantine had much to do with the concept of saints. He did encourage the church leaders to come together and hammer out a common doctrine.

The LDS do not consider themselves descended from or linked to the Catholic Church. Therefore, no.

True. Without a doubt, the people who wrote the Bible inserted their own dogmas in an attempt to explain the parts of Jesus' message that they couldn't understand. The doctrines of atonement and original sin are good examples of this.

[Flip McWho]

It is commonly accepted fact that Christainity is a fusion of pagan beliefs with a few original elements.

Perception and reality are not always the same.

Where do your sacred texts come from then, if not from the early Christian (=Catholic) priesthood? I suppose you do have gospels that are supposed to be the testimonies of Jesus' followers?
