walks ahead of me will stop.” This was meant to indicate that some divine power [a fallen evil spirit?] was leading him. Laborers and materials for the construction work were gathered from everywhere. Pagan monuments of Rome, Athens, Alexandria, Ephesus, and Antioch were used in beautifying the new capital. Forty thousand Goth soldiers, the so-called “foederati,” participated in the construction of the new buildings...Toward the spring of 330 AD the work had progressed to such an extent that Constantine found it possible to dedicate the new capital officially. The dedication took place on May 11, 330 and was followed by celebrations and festivities which lasted forty days.” (A gold chariot and idols of the Sun god were brought out for this Pagan party!)
The historian and author Michael Grant gives us insight into the life and times of Constantine in his book Constantine the Great. From The Critics Publisher's Weekly:“ Constantine I founded Constantinople on the site of Byzantium and converted the Roman Empire to [Catholic] Christianity, (He made trinity/Catholicism an imperial cult!) yet this first Christian emperor “would hardly be recognized as Christian at all today,” asserts renowned classicist Grant in a compelling reassessment. A ruthless despot who strove to be a world-conqueror like Alexander the Great, Constantine (280?-337) murdered his second wife and his son, assassinated friends and advisers and extended the death penalty to minor crimes. While cultivating a reputation for almsgiving, the emperor crushed common people with oppressive taxes to finance his reckless wars, extravagant pomp, and vast, corrupt bureaucracy. The Christian [Sun] *God whom Constantine revered was a god of power who presumably enabled him to destroy foes, and as Grant makes clear, the emperor's belief that he was constantly in touch with God made him difficult and dangerous. Illustrated. History Book Club. (July)”
“Michael Grant goes beyond the bias of literary sources and reveals the private man behind the public persona: the superstitious beliefs underpinning Constantine's hallucinatory visions and dreams...” (A Sun God worshiping madman and murder promoted and enforced the non-Biblical Trinity doctrine across Northern Africa the Middle East and Europe! We see that this man that was an egomaniac and worshiped as a god he set up large images of himself. Therefore, Trinitarians is not inspired of God.)
A History of Christianity by Paul Johnson, 1976, page 67: “Although Constantine claimed that he was the thirteenth Apostle, his was no sudden Damascus conversion. Indeed it is highly doubtful that he ever truly abandoned sun-worship. After his professed acceptance of Christianity, he built a triumphal arch to the sun god and in Constantinople set up a statue of the same sun god bearing his own features. He was finally deified after his death by official edict in the Empire, as were many Roman rulers.”
The Secret Archives of the Vatican written by Maria Ambrosini and Mary Willis, 1996, page 36 states: “Constantine was an army brat; he had grown up knowing the Mithraic (Sun god) religion, harsh and pure as the code of military justice. We are not certain how much of a Christian he was; he was baptized only on his deathbed, and he once referred to himself as “a bishop of those outside the Church” the bishop of unbelievers? (Pagans)”
