1. One God/one emperor.
2. One religion/one empire.
Constantine was above all a pragmatist, and his Christianity was only prominent when it was politically expedient—and he did not become more compassionate after his conversion to Christianity. On the heels of presiding over the Council of Nicea, he went immediately back home to Constantinople and murdered both his wife, Fausta, and his eldest son, Crispus. Fausta was Crispus’s stepmother, and there were rumors that she and Crispus had been engaged in immorality while the emperor was away. Constantine had his wife slowly boiled to death in a bath, and his son was cold poisoned. Indeed, Constantine was the poster boy for living your life as licentiously and perverted as possible, saving baptism for his deathbed. Which is exactly what he did. He lived his life as wickedly as any other Roman emperor, despite the paths he paved for Christianity and its spread, and went screaming into heaven simply because he was baptized minutes before he died.
Within the first 400 years of Christianity there were in existence more than 20 gospels, 15 apocalypses, and nearly 50 other texts about Jesus. In some of these texts, Jesus didn’t die, took revenge on his enemies, was not human at all, was not God at all, and was a wise teacher instead of a miracle worker. The Gospel of Thomas, attributed to “Doubting Thomas,” has been discovered in its entirety and contains what is claimed to be direct quotes from Jesus, yet it has been left out of the Bible. The Gospel of Peter, Jesus’ best friend among the disciples, says Jesus was silent on the cross and did not feel any pain, for he only appeared to be human, yet this Gospel was also left out of the Bible. Only a select four of the written gospels made it into the Bible—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—and only those Gospels that told their followers what the early Roman Church wanted them to hear. Constantine’s desire to have one single authority in the Church apparently worked quite well.
Lost books referred to in the Bible, but removed by Council:
Book of Jasher (Joshua 10:13, 2 Samuel 1:18).
