Constantine Did Not Change the Bible
Contrary to popular belief by naysayers of the Bible, Constantine did not change the Bible. As a matter of fact the message has been the same, and has remained unchanged since it was originally inspired. Many other faiths such as Islam are working on assumptions that it was changed not only by the Roman emperor but by everyone else. Here is why I do not believe the Bible is changed as many unbelievers claim that is is. If the Bible had been changed by the emperor's bishops, the Bible would be full of praise for the emperor. No secular leader can resist the temptation to toot his own horn. In our modern times we see this all the time--politicians shameless self-promoting. And as having absolute power, Cesar would have easily commanded the clergy to add all of his praises and even go so far as to have the Bible declare that he was a god. But when you read the Bible, there is no text that magnifies Cesar or his government. Instead Jesus categorically separates the two. Jesus Christ said, "Give unto Cesar what is Cesar's, and to God what is God's." So therefore, when someone says or teaches that the Bible is corrupt, the burden of proof lies on the accusers. They are the ones to come up with evidence to prove it and not rely on utter lies that have been spread from centuries to centuries. It is sad that some people are easily swayed by the opinion of others and do not rely on God to reveal the truth to them. Other faiths lie because they have a lot to gain. They could not exist. They would fail to exist if it were not for their deception. The only thing the God of the Bible wants from you is your heart. Open up your heart to the truth. The truth is that God so loved the world (that means YOU) that He sent His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Happy Valentine's Day.
