Short Answer; Constantine and his Council at Nicea (Nicaea)...
(with the help of Paul's letter to the Collosians)

Western society continues to overturn God's Holy Commandments 
as a Federal Judge in Ontario rules that prostitution is no longer illegal!

If you wish to destroy all 10 laws you must start with one... the first one... then the rest will break... and they did... all of them. Today, the courts overrule all laws such as murder and all of the rest. You can break any and all laws and expect to get away with the crime if you have the money and the lawyer. Remember? Jesus told us to keep HIS Father's laws. We did not keep them and you see how the world has become. Evil... Uncaring... Greedy... Lustful... ENOUGH!

Several centuries after the gospel had been recorded by the obvious champions of faith and the testimonies were written by those who had worked under Jesus, a roman emperor decided to unite "the church." Some reports tell us that this Roman emperor wanted to establish a unified church. One church that would be a blend of hundreds of different churches/doctrines... including Pagans... would become united for peace and one doctrine. No fighting. No arguing. Let the new "one world church" become a pleasant blend that would be friendly with the Roman Empire. The perfect blend of church and state. Each would scratch the other's back.

Enter - - - - - Roman Emperor, Constantine.

Constantine, Roman Emperor, issued letters calling on the Bishops to assemble at Nicaea in Bithynia in June, 325 AD. About 318 church leaders met to draft the policies and compromised beliefs of the church. At the end of the meeting Constantine gave a speech... pay careful attention to the following excerpts:

Men do not become converts, he said, from their zeal for the truth.

Some join for what they can get, some for preferment, some to secure charitable help, some for friendship's sake.

But the true lovers of true argument are very few: scarce, indeed, is the friend of truth."

Therefore, he concluded, Christians should be like physicians, and prescribe for each according to his ailments. They must not be fanatics: they must be accommodating."

Now, isn't that interesting? This is the accepted policy of most churches today. Careful to not offend their "club members" but to accommodate them and accept their tithes.

Eusebius, famous historian of his day, said, as they left Nicaea, "they were glad at heart and rejoicing in the conviction that, in the presence of their Emperor, the Church, after long division, had been united once more."

Constantine had succeeded! He had united the churches and pagans, through compromise, to serve his empire. Government and church work in the same spirit today. The government lets them go untaxed by way of the (501) (C) (3) ... the church pays no tax and in return the church agrees to teach and perform only that which is allowable by the government. The contributors can even deduct their gifts to the church. Very nice! Very accommodating! A perfect blend of church and state.

(At this time you should read the Spirit-inspired page www.john33.com/pastor.htm ... I was led to pen that page, years ago)

At that meeting, which continued, off and on, for many years, these leaders decided which scriptures were authorized to be acknowledged as truth and inspired by God and which scriptures were to be ignored, cast away, trashed. The scriptures and epistles that were approved were allowed into the "canon" which we came to know as the BIBLE. Some organizations deny this accounting of Constantine and the meeting at Nicea. GotQuestions.org is one of them. They don't want to offend anyone I suppose... or they are devils of propaganda?

If you are familiar with the New Testament you are probably aware that over 65% of the New Testament is comprised by Paul's letters (instructions) to the church. If you are aware of this you may have asked yourself "why?" Why did Paul get so much space and other apostles' works were denied? I asked myself that question many times and I always supposed that men who were far better educated than I, accepted that fact as being "divine" and I should not question it.

However, as I kept writing the messages that the Lord led me to pen, I did research. I learned that many of those highly educated and highly honored men were not even "saved," "born again" or "begotten." They were only accredited by a humanist organization and "anointed" by a humanist organization to teach (preach) their approved doctrine. These "mere mortals" were counterfeits and I (a Christian) was being led by them. These counterfeit Christians were entrusted with the souls of our children and we all know how the recent unveiling of the evil, demonic priests revealed the true spirit. Not only were they badly taught the (true) word of God but they were sodomized! I'll stop there... let's get back to "Who Destroyed God's Laws."

Paul bragged about the fact that he was a Roman citizen. He boasted that he was a Pharisee to the Pharisees! He was a fanatic! Yes, he hated Christ and all those who loved HIM.

Paul admitted that he had killed Christians (before his experience on the road to Damascus). A devout Pharisee of the highest order of Jewish law who used his power to have Christians hunted down and had them killed. He told how he held the coats of those who killed Stephen, all the while he watched them stone a defenseless, innocent young man to death... because the young man was a Christian. Paul took part in that.

Stephen was a devout follower of Jesus who was killed by the very evil murderers who hated those who loved Jesus, the Son of God.

Back to the question; "Who Destroyed God's Laws." AND... why did Constantine allow Paul's writings to dominate the New Covenant? The New Testament is "All Paul."

The following may give us a hint as to why Constantine and his early Roman Catholic Church made the faith "All Paul." in one of his many epistles, he wrote in the Romans 13:1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

After telling the reader to obey any and all Roman authority, without question, he goes on to tell them about taxes...

13:6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.

I know now, why Constantine committed over two-thirds of the New Testament to Paul's writings. The "new, compromised, roman church" which was founded in Paul's writings, came right out and endorsed Constantine's Roman Government, his laws and taxation.

Back to "Who Destroyed God's Laws."

Paul wrote in Collosians 2:16... Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.

This is one of the scriptures that helped destroy God's laws. Even the law of the Sabbath. Paul told the reader to not let anyone tell you to keep the sabbath... in other words; Paul told them to ignore Jesus' warning to "Keep My Father's Commandments." Most all Christians do not keep HIS commandment. Some think they are keeping one of them when they go to the "club meeting" on Sunday... when in fact they are honoring the "Sun God," which was strengthened at the Council at Nicea along with other Pagan rituals such as Easter. Sun god worship started with Nimrod but was stopped for a while by his great uncle Shem, son of Noah, who killed Nimrod to stop his evil practices. Constantine ordered it and the church has continued in the pagan observance, to this day... He ordered that businesses would be closed on that day. Oh, by the way, ever wonder what Easter eggs have to do with Christ? NOTHING! It is in honor of the fertility goddess. All ordained and became a part of Christianity through Constantine and his New World Church.

All churches were merged and became friends of each other and the state. Christians, Pagans, all of them compromised and merged to satisfy the common good for themselves and Constantine's governing of the people. They now had a society that was ruled by the partnership of church and government.

No... I do not believe the reason and purpose for Constantine to summon the Council at Nicea was for the sole purpose of spreading truth of God... but for better government and taxation.

Now I encourage you to read the Epistle of Barnabas. Barnabas was an apostle of the real kind. He actually honored Jesus and kept God's laws, as did the other disciples... yet their writings were not allowed into the text we know as the bible. They did not flatter and uphold the Roman empire as did Paul's.

Consider the following:

Who killed Jesus? Answer; THE ROMANS.

Paul boasted that he was a citizen of what country? Answer; ROME.

Where is the Vatican, the home of the church which was founded by the Council of Nicea?
Answer; ROME.

Constantine was the emperor of what empire? ROMAN.

Who controlled and taxed the Jews? ROME.

Any questions? I didn't think so... I think this says it all.

Now read the Epistle of Barnabas and remember that Barnabas and Paul had a falling out... they had a fight and separated the roads of their ministry.

Am I finding fault with Paul? No, I am pointing out the things that came against Jesus' command to build HIS church on Peter. I am trying to point out the reason that Constantine allowed Paul's writings to dominate the Christian Bible. I am understanding Peter's warning in 2nd Peter 3:16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

Question: Were Paul's letters easily corrupted and twisted to serve Constantine's purpose? Should an appointee of God be hard to understand? Perhaps a Roman Emperor would like to use "hard to understand" letters for his own good. Keep that in mind.

My observation: I can say with confidence that the modern denominations, that bring controversy, are inspired by Paul's letters. Consider that the doctrine of "tongues" seems to be inspired by the mistaught and improper interpretation of 1st Corinthians and the book of Acts... Where an unintelligible gibberish is confused with the true gift of tongues that was introduced on the day of Pentecost. I think some twisting went on here. In truth, In the letter to Corinth, Paul was scolding the church about the way they were handling the gift of tongues but it seems to have been twisted... Not Paul's fault but possibly he could have been a bit more clear? Further, consider that the acceptance of the false doctrine of "once saved always saved" is supported by Paul's doctrine of grace and the neglect of keeping God's commandments. I can go on and on but you get the idea. The one liner Jesus left us rings loud in my ear; "You will know them by the fruit they bear." (paraphrased)

Don't forget that the misunderstood and false teaching about a pre trib rapture was based on Paul's letters; "Thessalonians."

In other words; what resulted from Paul's works? I see a lot of different (conflicting) denominations and beliefs which stem from unclear writing. Or as Peter said, "His letters contain some things that are hard to understand." (2 Peter 3:16)

Moving right along...

As you read the following statement, remember that there were originally 12 disciples, but one, Judas, was a devil and died after betraying our Lord... thus, there were but 11 remaining who were chosen by Jesus.

In light of the fact that 11 disciples, who were selected by Jesus to carry on HIS teaching... these same 11 good and true men who knew Jesus well, who ate with HIM, who suffered with HIM, who saw HIS miracles first hand... Why more of their works were not selected and not published in the New Testament of faith and covenant? Why and for what reason did Paul's letters make up most of the New Testament? Paul who was, at one time, an enemy of Jesus, who killed the followers of Jesus, who never met or knew Jesus. Paul, a man who never witnessed Jesus' miracles and was not selected by Jesus from the beginning... Paul, a man who declared himself to be an apostle... I understand that there was only one other man, in his time, who ever declared him an apostle and that was his friend Luke. Peter simply referred to Paul as "brother."

Why Paul? A man who was wrong in his belief that Jesus would return in his lifetime, and was wrong about many things. Consider Barnabas, who worked with Paul for a while but disagreed with Paul and they separated. This is what Barnabas said; "The Lord will make an end of everything in six thousand years, for a day with him means a thousand years. And he himself is my witness when he says, “The day of the Lord shall be as a thousand years.” So then, children, in six days, that is in six thousand years, everything will be completed." Barnabus knew but Paul thought Jesus was coming in his lifetime.

At this point in time we can see that (just about) 6,000 years have passed since the creation of Adam and Eve in the garden. So far it appears Barnabas was correct and obviously Paul was wrong! The test of a true prophet was that they never were wrong. When they were wrong they were killed as a false prophet. Should Paul have been held to the same standards as a prophet? A man that represents the New Covenant of Jesus Christ. You decide. I am asking "WHY?" I'm not making accusations. Besides, I don't know if Paul would be judged the same way as a prophet... probably not. I believe that is another unique gift different from that of an apostle. It is still disappointing to see these wrong predictions from a man who is credited with most of the New Testament. Yes... disappointing is the word. I expect better from a man who "truly" was appointed by God. I can expect that from a person who was appointed by a man like Constantine... a Roman Emperor.

NOTE: Six thousand years... This should also make you aware that the time is near! We should expect the rise of the anti Christ any day now. A few will recognize him but the vast majority will not. Jesus will not return before the "son of perdition" comes. Don't be misled by those who preach a rapture of the church before the great tribulation. You may want to read www.john33.com/rapture.htm

Back to business...

Barnabas was declared an apostle by many and his writings are in line with the teachings of Jesus. Paul's were not. Yet, Barnabas' work was not published. Jesus taught us to "keep HIS Father's commandments" and Paul said, "NO." "Do not bother to keep them individually." (paraphrased). Paul's doctrine of grace overrode the commandments. All of Jesus' hand-picked disciples taught that the commandments be observed.

This is what I found and I was led to write about it here. While I believe Paul was commissioned by Jesus to do a work... I do not believe that Jesus would have commissioned Paul's writings to overrule Jesus' own teachings or to overrule those beliefs and teachings of HIS dedicated disciples. Compare the epistles of Peter, James and Jude against Paul's epistles and you may see as I do... they do not wreak of the same Spirit of respect for God's laws or the teaching of Jesus.

There is something wrong. Jesus warned that many would come to HIM on that day of judgment and say, "Lord we cast out demons in your name and HE will reply, I never knew you." Therefore, believe that there are false teachings that will lead many astray using the name of Jesus. If it were not so, Jesus would not have warned us.

Read the word of God and pray. It is only through the help of the Holy Spirit, that Jesus sent, that we may learn the truth.
