There’s the HOLY trinity (Father, Son, & Holy Spirit) and then there’s the UNHOLY trintiy. On this first ever Friday Night Service as we at LRC move further and order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm further away from man-made traditions, I’d like to do a brief review of how we “got here“.
First comes Constantine (272-337)who told the church when to meet- Sunday. The comes St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430) who order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm totally perverted the Word of God and caused us to believe in a order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm God who planned to burn 95% of His creation in agony and torment for eternity. Talk about sadistic! Finally, we have Justinian 1 prada bag sale uk (483-565). Ready to find out some tough stuff?
Christianity was the first ever “temple-less” religion and order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm it was turning the world upside down. So, if you order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm can’t fight ‘em, infiltate ‘em. Constantine did exactly that. The sun-worshipper (Constantine) had an epiphany at Milvian Bridge and order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm decided that he needed to enlist the help of the order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm God of the Christians. He made Christianity the State Religion and order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm it’s been downhill ever since!
Among other things he decreed that order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm the church would worship on Sunday. The Jews didn’t buy it! 
He brought the order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm priests into the temple, thr good life and conned them into buying into his sytem. Without even knowing it, Chritian leaders became increasingly dependent upon Rome and order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm whoever the emperor was to grant them authenticity and legitimacy. Did I mention dependence as well? 
By the time St. Augustine came along 75-100 years after Chritianity had become “State sponsored” puppets, he was ready to CONTROL any an order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm all reprobate Christians, which means any who did not agree with him. Thanks to order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm St. Augustine we have people being killed when they disagreed with what order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm the new clergy believed.
Oh yes, and order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm it was St. Augustine who gave us the everlasting, eternal, and order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm firey tormenting vision of Hell! Until he came along people believed in ultimate reconciliation- divine judgment without all the order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm sadistic stuff- you know demons, a head deveil dressed in a order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm kinky get-up, poking screaming Muslims with a pitch-fork. Yeah, sure!
Thanks a lot St. Augustine. We’re still trying to get over you!
Whatever had not been undone for the Christian community, Flavius Anicius Julianus Justinianus finished up! You see much of what many Christians believe today isn’t the product of spirit-filled men seeking God (some is), but emperors like Justinian who told us WHAT we would BELIEVE! You’d be shocked if you really knew the TRUTH!
But then if we really did know the truth, we’d be FREE (John 8:32)- and we’re not!
Justinian, needing to be in control of the emprie, like St. Augustine who needed to be in control of the Christians (that spirit is still alive and flourishing today!), put the hammer down. Origen who order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm was one of the founding fathers of our religion, saw God as LOVE and he felt that one day God would redeem us all. Silly boy!
One of the best ways to control people is to “threaten them with hell” (that has done a lot of good hasn’t it- NOT!). It’s also one of the worst ways, depending upon what you’re trying to accomplish. I don’t have order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm space to go into all the things that Justinian told Pope Vigilius that order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm he should do and believe, but though the Pope initially was against Justinian’s ideas, he later gave in- After all, the State rules!
Historian Williston Walker put it this way, “Justinian succeeded more fully than order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm any other emperor in making himself master of the church.” There’s so much that order louis vuitton 6 ring agenda pm the church does and beleives today that has nothing to do with God because we’ve been duped into thinking we’re following the Holy Trinity when in fact, we’re bound to the traditions of an Unholy Trinity: Constantine, Augustine, and Justinian!
Wanna change that?
