Emperor Constantine—often hailed as "Constantine the Great"—was not just a Roman emperor; he was the architect of a new religion. Under his authority, the original teachings of Yeshua and his disciples were not just influenced—they were systematically merged with Roman political ambitions, pagan festivals, and Greek philosophical ideas.
The result: A Romanized religion that would eclipse the Hebrew roots of the original gospel.
Constantine convened the Council of Nicaea—the first major church council fully backed by imperial decree. This was no ordinary gathering. It was a watershed moment in history.
Under the shadow of Roman power, doctrine was reshaped to serve empire rather than truth.
What emerged was not the faith of Peter, James, and John—but a version designed to unify the empire, not to honor the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Passover - YHWH's appointed time to remember deliverance from Egypt and the death of the Messiah
Easter - A name rooted in fertility goddess worship
Seventh-day Sabbath - Commanded by God as a sign of His covenant
Sunday worship - In honor of the Roman sun god
Hebrew & Aramaic - The very tongues in which God spoke to His prophets
Greek & Latin - Elevated as the new "sacred" languages
Biblical Feasts - YHWH's appointed times and seasons
December 25 - Festival of Sol Invictus (Unconquered Sun) declared Jesus' birthday
Those who clung to the original ways—faithful Hebrew followers of Yeshua—were branded as heretics.
Their crime: Refusing to abandon YHWH's commandments for Roman traditions.
The leadership of the faith shifted from those who upheld the teachings of Jerusalem to those who served Roman power.
December 25, once the festival of Sol Invictus (the Unconquered Sun), was declared the birthday of Jesus—blending Roman sun worship with a rewritten nativity.
Sunday worship was not merely encouraged—it was enforced.
The day of the sun god became the day of the Son of God, not by revelation, but by imperial decree.
This was the deliberate dismantling of the Hebrew foundation of the faith
An erasure backed by the sword of empire, masked in the robes of religion
What began in Hebrew scrolls and Aramaic voices ended in Latin decrees and Roman laws
The Hebrew foundation was systematically replaced with Roman paganism wearing biblical names.
True followers of YHWH were erased from history, their scrolls burned, their voices silenced.
But YHWH never forgot them.
The original truth still exists in the pure manuscript lines that escaped Roman corruption.
