@egseven I'm sure you've heard of the word dogma, as in Catholic dogma, or another word for teachings. That's a Scottish word. The Roma were the only people around the Mediterranean who used that salt water to irrigate their lands. When they couldn't grow their own food they began to raid other communities, becoming a predatory society. When they became The Roman Empire they wanted a myth about the creation of Roma, or Rome. They said Romulus and Remus, two young boys, were found in the forest and raised by a female wolf. Talking about the start of the Roman Empire Scots called her a dogma. Constantine didn't become a Christian. He had a "death-bed conversion", something that isn't in the Holy Bible. He did that so he died a Christian, converting the Roman Empire into The Holy Roman Empire, Too many senators and people of Roma were followers of Jesus of Nazareth, and he knew they had to be included to keep the empire going.

@egseven It all depends on your perspective. First, saying that Jesus of Nazareth "died for our sins" is a very traditional thing to say. If you believe he died for our sins does this mean you believe in the "original sin"? Are you familiar with the sign on the cross over His head that said "King of the Jews"? That's the official reason he was crucified by Romans. Are you willing to accept that first? Saying Jesus of Nazareth died for our sins is a way of putting sin on you, and a way for others to put themselves between you and heaven, such as the Pope does, being half-human and half-heavenly, another version of a disciple. As a concept, dying for our sins over 2,000 years ago, don't you think that if Jesus of Nazareth died for our sins we wouldn't have them any more? And the people who say he died for our sins are saying he died, when he went on to live. Again, it's all about your perspective.
