  Church History By Ps. Tamil July17,2004 All through the years the church was persecuted but they were growing in number, in strength, in holiness and spirituality. Until AD64, an emperor by the name of Nero came into power in the Roman Empire. This man masterminded the persecution against Christian. He sat the city of Rome on fire and then blame it on the innocent Christian. * Software giant Nero got it’s logo and name from this incident!
Then on, official persecution against the church broke out. Christian then became the enemy of the nation and they were to suffer all kinds of persecution. Until AD324, Constantine came into power. “Tradition or belief” supposed that he had an encounter with God. * But the bible didn’t state anything alike. He was at the verge of losing a war when he saw a cross. *Because it’s tradition, when “things” passed down through the ages, common sense tells you to doubt it! So some dudes try to add some authenticity to it and say he saw two words which mean Christ. Miraculously Constantine’s army won the war. So after the war, he made Christianity legal and Christian started to return to the church. Around AD392, Theodisius was in full control and he gave privileges to those out there, if and only if he or she is a Christian.
Thus this brought in non-Christian as they too wanted to be privileged and not to be saved. Worst of all, they “naively” bring in all types of idols into the church…….. Ps Tamil also spoke about the papacy(pope), Lutheran, Ana Baptist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Anglican, Methodist, about the Pentecost and how the “tongue” came about through the century of recovering the truth and the primacy of the scripture restored!
