“I. Laws of Constantine the Great, October 18, 315: Concerning Jews, Heaven-Worshippers,* And Samaritans
Emperor Constantine, who made the Catholic religion of the Holy Roman Empire.
The single most important event in all Jewish history changing Judaism from being an active missionizing religion was the following edict by Emperor Constantine in the year 315 CE:
“I. Laws of Constantine the Great, October 18, 315: Concerning Jews, Heaven-Worshippers,* And Samaritans
We wish to make it known to the Jews and their elders and their patriarchs that if, after the enactment of this law, any one of them dares to attack with stones or some other manifestation of anger another who has fled their dangerous sect and attached himself to the worship of God [Christianity], he must speedily be given to the flames and burn~ together with all his accomplices.
Moreover, if any one of the population should join their abominable sect and attend their meetings, he will bear with them the deserved penalties.”
In one ruling Emperor Constantine made it illegal for Jews to missionize, protected Jews who became Christians, and forbade Christians from ever marrying Jews (this was in the second section of his law). Imagine how many Jews there would be in the world today if Constantine had not banned Jewish missionizing?
todays catholic religion is a result of this-- and it is not difficult to see why-- YAWAH or the Holy Spirit had to raise up people -- or prophets-- to expose the error of the catholic religious system--
this is not a new thing-- it happened many times in the Old Testament- with the Israel nation -- just as it happens today over the last 2,000 years--or more--
and just like in the nation of Israel -- and in the time of Jesus the religious systems-- kills the prophets-- of God--
it is easy to see the additional "rules" and sins that have been added to the catholic bible.
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
New International Version (NIV)
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
