Page 6 - Emperor Constantine Enforcer of the Trinity Doctrine

Even over a century later we find after Constantine ordered sun worship many continued to engage in this ancient idolatry. They even worshiped the image of the dead emperor as a symbol for the sun god Sol, yet still they professed themselves to be Christians.
Constantine The Great The Man and His Times 1994 written by the Historian Michael Grant p. 135-136 “...(Catholic) Christianity and Sun-worship were easily and thoroughly entangled and merged. This was all too clear to Pope Leo I the Great (440- 61), who—aware, perhaps, that people at Constantinople had sacrificed to the statue of Constantine as if it stood for Sol (the sun god)—reprimanded his congregation for performing devotion to the Sun on the steps of St Peter’s before turning their backs to it and entering the Basilica to perform Christian worship there. Nearly a century earlier, as he no doubt also knew, when Julian the Apostate had reverted to the pagan religion, this sort of feeling made it easy for many to abandon Christianity in favor of solar monotheism. The bishop of Troy was an interesting case in point. He found it possible at that time, with a clear conscience, to switch from Christian to pagan belief because, even while holding Episcopal office, he had secretly continued to pray to the Sun.”
Emperor Constantine not only enforced this abomination upon his troops he also at the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) along with his bishops enforced a non-biblical solar Trinity upon all of humanity. Religious solar Trinity icons or pagan symbols used long before the Christian era are also reveled in this book as to their true meaning and nature. Emperor Constantine the enforcer of the Trinity Doctrine is a study for all who wish to go deeper than the shallow historical generalities and find out the very source for even many of modern day teachings. Also more importantly an honest heart will discover the original teachings of the early Church. We must understand the past in order to understand the present. Do we today follow the teachings of Constantine and his priesthood or do we follow Christ and the actual Apostles’ Doctrine?
Below we see a Roman Catholic Church with a huge sun god star burst behind an idol or “Saint” that is prayed to. Several sun god spirals can be seen on the sun image and many lit burning candles are also a part of this ancient form of worship.
