📜 325 AD: Empire Over Truth — How Constantine Used Religion to Control the World

The Council of Nicaea was not about defending truth — it was about building empire.

After conquering his rival in 324 AD, Emperor Constantine needed a united religion to match his newly united empire.
He didn’t care about Yeshua.
He didn’t care about Torah.
He cared about control.

🔹 This Was About Power — Not Faith
• The council wasn’t held to discover what was right — it was held to force agreement
• Religion was turned into a political tool
• Obedience to Yhwh was replaced with obedience to the emperor

🔹 Constantine Controlled It All
• He called the council, ran it, and paid for it
• He told the bishops:

“Division in the church is worse than war.”
Translation: agree — or be removed

• Bishops who submitted got:

Land

Wealth

Legal power

Free travel

Imperial backing

🔹 Why Now?
• In 324 AD, Constantine became sole emperor after defeating his last rival
• Right after, he ordered the council — not to find truth, but to create one empire, one doctrine
• The goal was political unity disguised as religious authority

🔹 The Real Outcome: A Roman Religion Built from Pieces of 91 Sects
• Constantine didn’t embrace the Hebrew faith — he built a new imperial religion
• He cherry-picked ideas from the 91+ groups that existed at the time:

Took Greek philosophy from one

Took Paul’s writings from another

Took mystic rituals from others

Added Roman customs and sun worship

✅ He mixed them into a single doctrine — then called it “truth”
🔥 Any group that refused to follow it was suppressed, burned, or labeled heretics

This wasn’t unity — it was religious conquest

🔹 The Result: Imperial Religion Was Born
• A universal system was created that had:

Greek theology

Roman rituals

Sun-day worship

Easter instead of Passover

Silence instead of Torah

• The name of Yhwh was erased
• The Hebrew way of life was outlawed
• And the true gospel — the one Yeshua taught — was buried under church power
