Nothing could stop it; no matter how many Christians the emperor crucified, no matter how many Christians were thrown to the animals in the Roman circus, one hundred fold sprang up to take their place.

This movement encircled the mountains and crossed the oceans. It made kings tremble and tyrants fearful. It was said of those early Christians that they had turned the world literally upside down! -- so powerful was their message and spirit.

Now, I'm talking about the true Christian teachings of Jesus Christ, in the way that it was followed in the early days of Christ's Church -- not Rome's church, not Baptist's church, not Lutheran's church, not Orthodox's church, but Christ's Church.

Before too many years had passed... men began to set themselves up as "lords" over God's people and places of the Holy Spirit. Instead of conquering by spiritual means and by truth --

By truth! Not too many people in the world understand what truth even means today.

...as in the early days -- men began to substitute their ideas and their methods...

...in place of the teachings that Christ gave us. The Inquisition came from these people, not from Jesus Christ. The Crusades came from these people, not from Jesus Christ.

Attempts to merge paganism into Christianity were being made even in the days when our New Testament was being written, folks, for Paul mentioned that the "mystery of iniquity" was already at work, and he warned that there would come a "falling away" and some would "depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils" -- the counterfeit doctrines of the pagans ([2nd Thessalonians, Chapter 2, verses 3 through 7; 1st Timothy, Chapter 4, verse 2]). And by the time that Jude wrote the book that bears his name, it was necessary for him to exhort the people to "earnestly contend for the faith that was ONCE delivered unto the saints," for certain men had crept in who were attempting to substitute things that were no part of the original faith ([check Jude, Chapter 1, verses 3 and 4]).

Christianity, folks, came face to face with the Babylonian paganism in its various forms that had been established in the Roman Empire. The early Christians refused to have anything to do with its customs and beliefs, and we all know what happened. Much persecution resulted. Many Christians were falsely accused, thrown to the lions, burned at the stake, and in other ways tortured and martyred.

And for their own safety, they went underground in the catacombs, and in the caves, and they formed their own secret society which was known then as the "Friendly Open Secret Society," and their symbol to mark their way was a fish.

Then, great changes began to be made. The Emperor of Rome professed conversion to Christianity...

He had to, for Rome would have fallen just as sure, as a tree in the forest falls to the axe, if he had not made that move.

In those early days of the real Church -- the real Church, Christ's Church, who practiced exactly what he taught them -- great, great changes began to take place that have affected us right up to this very day. What a shock it must have been when Constantine professed a conversion to Christianity after stating that he'd seen the vision of a cross in the sky. And some accounts say that he didn't see it in the sky during daylight, that he saw it in a dream. And ladies and gentlemen, because he never accepted Christ during his entire life, and in fact was a pagan sun worshiper, I question whether he ever saw a cross at all. You see, because history says and records very clearly, that Constantine never accepted Christ as his savior. He never really followed the teachings of Christ. He was, in fact, a sun worshiper He practiced the Mystery Religion of Babylon. But he was, in fact, the Emperor of Rome. Rome very quickly became, ladies and gentlemen, the Catholic Church, and the Roman Emperor became the Pope. He had to do this to save the Empire.

The symbol of the Roman Empire, and the Emperor, was the double-headed eagle. It signified that he ruled over both the east and the west -- that the sun did not set on the Roman Empire. This symbol still is displayed upon the walls of the Vatican. And just recently, Russia adopted this symbol as its national symbol. It is the symbol of the 33rd degree of Freemasonry. And I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on, but hopefully you get the point.

If not for Poland, they wouldn't exist today.

>>2038641
After two failed Polish rebellions, which the polonised Lithuanian nobility naturally took part in, the newly starting national awakening of Lithuanians was based on specifically on the peasants and (peasant) lithuanian culture. Deliberate effort was made to take stance against slavic culture and influences which included the Polish speaking Lithuanian (as in blood not in name only) aristocracy. And during the first years of the 20th century it was this nationalistic Lithuania which came out on top and realised the new independent Lithuanian State in its image. The Polish-Lithuanian war and the following frozen and unresolved conflict just cemented the already evolved situation and understanding.

tl;dr IT WAS NATIONALISM

This is a crazy thing that never gets talked about. People say "work hard, you'll make it" but that's a total lie. A friend of mine made 100k in one year installing air conditioners then his boss fired him cuz he didn't want to write out more large checks

He now makes 30k as a high school football coach

Six-man football in Texas

About as inevitable as the Sassanid empire.

the inevitability was in the fact that the countries will fight but not in the fact they all fought at the same time.

moral relativism is not the opposite of moral realism. moral realism is not necessary for society to exist. moral code exists already without religion in animistic societies and in first world secular societies. everything you're implying is fucking wrong.

>>2038117
religion is moral relativist

even if the entire country had the same religion some fucknugget would just make up a different sect and say your morality is wrong (and that god hates you).
