Lol
like taking pagan heros and making them saints
The counsel of Nicea
False again
Lmao.
Read a book and stfu
Bias books
*bias books*
dont just read one account
Aka Catholic scholars
That is not an argument
The pagan hero -> saint thing is legit
you need citations
The counsel of nicea was about making a sect of Christianity Heretical
That was what converted Emperor Constantine
Saints are people who ahieve greatly through divine intervention is the generally accepted simple-definition. Pagans and non-believers can become saints
*"That which is presented without evidence can be denied with the same"*
And yet you have provided nothing for your claim <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
Some easy reading for you
But everything from christs *birthday* to many of the stories and saints were pagan in origination
lol the calendar of the church?
christ's birthday was moved
What are you even arguing about
and it's a feast-day not a birthday
We are talking about mutual consenting marriages
The winter solstice is a pretty universal constant in religions
Dont worry the jewish people did similar as well. Thats why much older religions are parrotted in modern ones
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Christmas is a feast-day not a birthday
It makes for easier conversions
Christian feast days were also called Holy-days...which we now call Holidays
Not originally
I just said that
St Patrick's day! yay
It was changed as this reality came to light. So again. Things were taken. Yes some adjusted later but still taken all the same :)
you are misconscruing the reasons
Lol you dont think it was for easier converting of pagans while streamlining the scriptures?
the church legitimised the divine interventions of the pagan saints as divine interventions, and they moved feast-days to make easter less jumpled up (Christ's original feast day was nearer to summer than winter)
You realize the *resurrection* story has grounds in 4 other far older religions?
Just jumping around
