break down paragraph by paragraph and tell me with your words where the contradictions are without making a fuss as you have.
And yes, they are a cut and paste.
The incorporation of Christianity as an official religion: Constantine was a lifelong pagan who was baptized against his will on his deathbed. Constantine made Christianity the official Roman religion solely for political gain. Christianity is a hybrid religion, the result of Constantine's fusing the pagan cult of Sol Invictus with Christianity. This blending can be seen in Constantine's changing the Christian day of worship from Saturday to Sunday. Under Constantine's influence, the Council of Nicea, by a small majority, turned a mortal prophet into the divine Son of God. Constantine ordered the making of the Bible that would reinforce the Council's decision to make Jesus the divine Son of God, and at the same time ordered the destruction of opposing documents. Constantine decided that Rome would further become stronger with a much united empire through the belief of JC, not that he believed himself.
It is imperative that Christians, especially Orthodox Christians, have a firm grasp of their faith and of church history. Faith and history go together. We cannot separate church history from what we believe. The Orthodox understanding of truth is grounded in the Incarnation, the Son of God taking on human nature. Because the Son of God entered into human history, truth consists of more than a set of logically consistent concepts. Our faith is grounded in the historical figure Jesus of Nazareth, who asserted: I am the Truth. When Orthodoxy claims that the Christian Faith is the true faith, it is asserting that it is a real faith, based on historical events that actually happened. Because Christianity is grounded in reality, our salvation in Christ is a real salvation that has an impact on both the spiritual and physical realities.
