Christianity as Roman state religion (380)
Further information: State church of the Roman Empire

On 27 February 380, with the Edict of Thessalonica put forth under Theodosius I, the Roman Empire officially adopted Trinitarian Christianity as its state religion. Prior to this date, Constantius II (337-361) and Valens (364–378) had personally favoured Arian or Semi-Arian forms of Christianity, but Valens' successor Theodosius I supported the Trinitarian doctrine as expounded in the Nicene Creed.

After its establishment, the Church adopted the same organisational boundaries as the Empire: geographical provinces, called dioceses, corresponding to imperial governmental territorial division. The bishops, who were located in major urban centres as per pre-legalisation tradition, thus oversaw each diocese. The bishop's location was his "seat", or "see". Among the sees, five came to hold special eminence: Rome, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Antioch, and Alexandria. The prestige of most of these sees depended in part on their apostolic founders, from whom the bishops were therefore the spiritual successors. Though the bishop of Rome was still held to be the First among equals, Constantinople was second in precedence as the new capital of the empire.

Theodosius I decreed that others not believing in the preserved "faithful tradition", such as the Trinity, were to be considered to be practitioners of illegal heresy,[49] and in 385, this resulted in the first case of capital punishment of a heretic, namely Priscillian.[50][51]

shouldnt you use 313 with the edict of Milan

2018-10-11 22:00:24 UTC  

this is about the trinity and killing people who don't follow it

2018-10-11 22:00:36 UTC  

you don't believe in the 3 gods, then die

2018-10-11 22:00:51 UTC  

Heresy

2018-10-11 22:00:59 UTC  

i am aware of your ignorance

2018-10-11 22:01:05 UTC  

this isn't the christian religion of forgiveness

2018-10-11 22:01:58 UTC  

"non-believers shall go to hell"
"Christian religion of forgiveness"

2018-10-11 22:02:18 UTC  

😄

2018-10-11 22:02:50 UTC  

repent and tell me all your sins and crimes you commited against the state, and all will be forgiven

2018-10-11 22:03:24 UTC  

plus it makes it easier when we want to take hush money from you later for said crimes

2018-10-11 22:04:43 UTC  

though, i think 325 would fit better with your made up delusions

2018-10-11 22:05:43 UTC  

I'm hurt

2018-10-11 22:06:06 UTC  

you think I made up the whole thing that jesus died on a cross?

2018-10-11 22:06:20 UTC  

or that romans were the one who did it?

2018-10-11 22:06:21 UTC  

not the delusion i was refering to

2018-10-11 22:06:32 UTC  

or that they made a religion celebrating that fact

2018-10-11 22:06:57 UTC  

none of this is made up by me, its there in black and white

2018-10-11 22:07:15 UTC  

I didn't make up the father son and holy ghost trinity, they did

2018-10-11 22:07:35 UTC  

I'm not running around killing people who don't beleive their pagan beliefs

2018-10-11 22:07:44 UTC  

they call them heretics and kill them

2018-10-11 22:08:59 UTC  

a) you dont know what pagan means b) you think that the trinity is talking about 3 differnt people c)you think that trinitarianism just appeared in 380 d) you think trinitarianism was made by the byzantine empire

2018-10-11 22:12:06 UTC  

pagan is worshipping more than one GOD

2018-10-11 22:12:12 UTC  

there were heresies before 380

2018-10-11 22:12:21 UTC  

and no, that isnt what pagan means

2018-10-11 22:13:10 UTC  

Polytheism (from Greek πολυθεϊσμός, polytheismos) is the worship of or belief in multiple deities,

"While most pagan religions express a world view that is pantheistic, polytheistic or animistic, there are some monotheistic pagans"

2018-10-11 22:13:29 UTC
