The original Christianity is not what is in the Bible

RE: The original Christianity is not what is in the Bible
Quote:If Paul was that bad then Christianity would have never spread as it did

Xtianity spread at the point of a sword because it was in Constantine's interest to do so.

Try not to forget that again.

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Roman_Cultu...ristianity

Quote:While many people tend to exaggerate the growth of Christianity before the 4th century, ninety percent of the empire was not Christian, and there is no evidence that Christianity could have continued to grow. It was the support of the emperor Constantine that transformed Christianity into a driving force in the Roman Empire. “Most authorities agree that by 300 A.D., between seven and ten percent of the population of the Roman Empire were Christian.”

Note, though, that it does not specify what "kind" of xtians. It was a fragmented doctrine split by a number of heresies and it took a while for the state and their chosen xtian allies to stamp out the others.

You really have much to learn and you'll never find it if you keep reading and repeating the same old sorry shit.
