WAS THE STORY OF A CROSS IN THE SKY FAKE MARKETING? Supposedly, Constantine Converted to Christianity in 312 AD and then Spread That Religion To Europe. However... There are No Christian Symbols on His Arch. The Monument Commemorating Victory in the Battle of Milvian's Bridge...

a Major Turning Point in his Life... and the History of Europe... 

Some People State that he Really Converted on his Deathbed... and didn't spread Christianity to Europe at all. SO... Who ACTUALLY Spread Christianity? and WHY?

Europe's Conversion from Paganism lead to the Building of the Catholic Church... Protestants, Lutherans... and the Spread of Christianity to North, Central and South America. 2.5 Billion People believe in Christ... 


Constantine the Great, was Roman emperor from AD 306 to 337. He was the first emperor to convert to Christianity.[h]


According to Christian chroniclers Eusebius of Caesarea and Lactantius, the battle marked the beginning of Constantine's conversion to Christianity. Eusebius of Caesarea recounts that Constantine and his soldiers had a vision sent by the Christian God. This was interpreted as a promise of victory. The Arch of Constantine, erected in celebration of the victory, certainly attributes Constantine's success to divine intervention; however, the monument does not display any overtly Christian symbolism. (and if he had ACTUALLY had a Vision during that battle, it would certainly appear in the Sculptures...)

Constantine's Vision of a Cross in the Sky during battle.


Emperor Constantine’s victory against Maxentius in 312 AD is commonly understood as the first battle under the banner of Christianity and seen as a major shift from its status as a persecuted religion of outlaws to the established power that would reign for over a millennia in the world. But is this really the case?
Emperor Constantine had a vision of a cross in the sky. This was interpreted by his advisors as a divine sign of good fortune in coming battle. The cross as a symbol of power in battle originated here. 
Until Constantine, bloodshed was not caused by Christians. The idea to shed blood in the name of Christ, in the sense to harm others, was alien and not supported by its founder — quite the contrary.
The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome dedicated to the emperor Constantine the Great. The arch was commissioned by the Roman Senate to commemorate Constantine's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in AD 312.

I emailed a Professor about this... and he said: 
Dear Mr Vanderlaan, 

I checked this out and it looks like you are absolutely right.  As you can imagine, I don’t write all of the texts we use for these films and as I am not personally an expert on Constantine’s reign (or his arch), I accepted a text provided by the broadcaster.  I don’t remember voicing this particular claim, but I do regret it.  I often have to wrestle with the other people involved in these productions over pieces of text that are poorly informed or expressed.  Television is a highly multiauthorial enterprise.  But rest assured, this was an innocent error, not a squalid attempt to deflect from the glory of Sol invictus.  

With all best wishes

Christopher Clark

Subject: The Story of Europe. Constantine Had NO Christian Symbols on his Arch.
 
Sadly, your Excellent TV Show is Factually Wrong.

I thought that it was Strange that you Stated that there WERE Christian Symbols on Constantine's Arch AND THEN INSTANTLY Changed the Subject Without ACTUALLY SHOWING ANY... 

Here are a Lot of Closeups of the Sculptures on Constantine's Arch... Nowhere are there any CROSSES... https://www.judaism-and-rome.org/arch-constantine

Constantine didn’t take sides about Christianity vs Paganism until the end of his life as he converted to Christianity on his deathbed... https://en.northleg.com/rome/sights/arch-of-constantine/curiosities/

Why did Constantine fail to put any "Christian" symbols on his arch? He had ten years to decide on his "famous" CHI-RO symbol that he "painted" on his soldiers shields, ten years before... https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Constantine-fail-to-put-any-Christian-symbols-on-his-arch-He-had-ten-years-to-decide-on-his-famous-CHI-RO-symbol-that-he-painted-on-his-soldiers-shields-ten-years-before?fbclid=IwAR26ephKPIgNGtEkT7C9rVFyi624VOwIPA93zlKaO1XNXIFEhEJtZPGIlHI

The Church of Rome claims a deathbed conversion for Constantine I the Great.

As we see in even modern times, Christians often make such dishonest claims: it’s easy to do and it impresses the credulous.

Constantine worshipped the divine sun, in the form of Sol Invictus. 
Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun"), sometimes simply known as Helios, was long considered to be the official sun god of the later Roman Empire

Angry Boy is starting to change America... Does this Supreme Court case make Christianity the Official Religion of the USA?

This case is about a 40 foot tall cross on Government Property... what about a 40 foot Star of David?  or a Giant Buddha?
https://thinkprogress.org/the-supreme-court-just-agreed-to-hear-a-case-that-could-nuke-the-separation-of-church-and-state-628cd3a76797/


In what will almost certainly be a victory for the religious right, the Supreme Court announced on Friday that it will decide whether the Constitution permits a local government to display “on public property a 40-foot tall Latin cross, established in memory of soldiers who died in World War I.” Although a federal appeals court held that this cross violates the Constitution’s ban on laws “respecting an establishment of religion,” the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh — which gave Republicans a solid five-person majority on the Supreme Court — all but guarantees that this lower court decision will be reversed.
The cross dispute arises in two consolidated casesAmerican Legion v. American Humanist Association, and Maryland-National Capital Park v. American Humanist Association.
