Chi-Rho:The labarum (λάβαρον) was a vexillum (military standard) that displayed the “Chi-Rho” symbol, formed from the first two Greek letters of the word “Christ” (ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ, or Χριστός) — Chi (χ) and Rho (ρ).

In the spring of 311, with 40,000 soldiers behind him, Constantine rode toward Rome to confront an enemy whose numbers were four times his own. Maxentius, vying for supremacy in the West, waited in Rome with his Italian troops and the elite Praetorian Guard, confident no one could successfully invade the city.

Constantine set the pathway to the belief of the trinitarian gods. He set the path in how the bible would be transliterated 30 years after his death. He destroyed Arianism and set up a multi god belief system. How do you think this set the future pattern?

Christianity has always been pagan, and Christians worship a non-existent savior with a Greek name called Jesus (IHSOUS). The Greek Jesus never existed, but the Jewish Messiah, Yahshua, did exist. The anti-Hebrew Greek gentiles invented a Sun god named Jesus based on the writings and true life of Messiah Yahshua. Messiah Yahshua was only a human,…[Read more]

It was this forced ecumenical blending of the pagan religions of the conquered pagan nations by pagan Roman conquests, that blurred the lines of distinction between the pagan gods and goddesses. Ultimately, Roman Rule forced all conquered nations to conform to their lifestyle and beliefs. All except that is for The True Jewish Faith of Messiah…[Read more]
