Rome was scared by the rise of Christianity and saw its own end coming if something wasn't done, so they subverted the religion and turned it into a method of control and a veil to hide behind. Like the old saying goes "If you can't beat 'em, join em!"
Now they had the perfect cover from which to run the world. No visible empire, no enemies! Their one remaining enemy after that point was the (unaltered) truth.

The rabbit hole continues down this way and I cannot even see the light of the entrance that I came in at anymore. I am going deeper, and further. The texts that I was told were Divinely inspired tell me that I have nothing to fear. The texts tell me that the glory of kings is to search out a matter. So deeper I'll go. I hope my rope doesn't give way.
I do have one question right now though.How far back does some of the ancient wisdom or writings go that they are in possession of, and holding back from us?

Been there, done that, got spooked and turned around. I am inching back down that way again.
Take care of your sanity. If you need to, keep a piece of your mind secluded from what you discover, so you can take respite in the calm and normal life you grew accustomed to. Even for a few days, it can recharge you a little and help keep you from tipping over the edge too far.
There are literally millions of corpses strewn across the entire world of people killed who didn't want to convert to Christianity, people weren't dying to convert to Christianity, they were dying if they didn't convert to Christianity, and that is the harsh reality, I fear escapes many in love with the romance of the dogmas and the myths.
This elm was called " Liberty Tree" because the Sons of Liberty held their meetings under it, and the ground below was called "Liberty Hall." The first meeting of this society was held there some time in 1765.
The system of correspondence committees started locally in Massachusetts and extended, at Virginia's suggestion, between the colonies, for counsel and mutual support, was made the means of calling together at Philadelphia the first Continental Congress (September 5th, 1774). In this all the colonies but Georgia were represented, and among the delegates were George Washington and Patrick Henry, of Virginia; John and Samuel Adams, of Massachusetts; John Jay, of New York, and many others famous in our historical annals.
The three American negotiators, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay, proved themselves to be masters of the game, outmaneuvering their counterparts and clinging fiercely to the points of national interest that guaranteed a future for the United States. Two crucial provisions of the treaty were British recognition of U.S. independence and the delineation of boundaries that would allow for American western expansion.

I think we will know when Rome finally sheds her disguise of "Christianity" that her job has been completed.
All those who follow Yeshua in truth are lumped under the same label of "Christianity" as the Catholic church and we will be held accountable for her evils over the centuries right along with her. [edit on 28-4-2010 by cepheusdraco]
Resolutions in Opposition to the Stamp Act (1765)
RESOLVES of the House of Burgesses in Virginia, June 1765.
That the first Adventurers & Settlers of this his Majesty’s Colony and Dominion of Virginia, brought with them, and transmitted to their Posterity, and all other his Majesty’s Subjects since inhabiting in this his Majesty’s Colony, all the Liberties, Privileges, Franchises, and Immunities, that at any Time been held, enjoyed, and possessed, by the people of Great Britain.
That by Two Royal Charters, granted by King James the First, the Colonists aforesaid are Declared Entitled, to all Liberties, Privileges and Immunities, of Denizens and Natural Subjects (to all Intents and Purposes) as if they had been Abiding and Born within the Realm of England.
That the Taxation of the People by Themselves, or by Persons Chosen by Themselves to Represent them, who can only know what Taxes the People are able to bear, or the easiest Method of Raising them, and must themselves be affected by every Tax laid upon the People, is the only Security against a Burthensome Taxation; and the distinguishing Characteristic of British FREEDOM; and, without which, the ancient Constitution cannot exist.
That his Majesty’s Liege People of this most Ancient and Loyal Colony, have, without Interruption, the inestimable Right of being Governed by such Laws, respecting their internal Policy and Taxation, as are derived from their own Consent, with the Approbation of their Sovereign, or his Substitute; which Right hath never been Forfeited, or Yielded up; but hath been constantly recognized by the Kings and People of Great Britain.
Resolved therefore, That the General Assembly of this Colony, with the consent of his Majesty, or his Substitute, HAVE the Sole Right and Authority to lay Taxes and Impositions upon Its Inhabitants: And, That every Attempt to vest such Authority in any other Person or Persons whatsoever, has a Manifest Tendency to Destroy AMERICAN FREEDOM.
That his Majesty’s Liege People, Inhabitants of this Colony, are not bound to yield Obedience to any Law or Ordinance whatsoever, designed to impose any Taxation upon them, other than the Laws or Ordinances of the General Assembly as aforesaid.
That any Person who shall, by Speaking, or Writing, assert or maintain, That any Person or Persons, other than the General Assembly of this Colony, with such Consent as aforesaid, have any Right or Authority to lay or impose any Tax whatever on the Inhabitants therof, shall be Deemed, AN ENEMY TO THIS HIS MAJESTY’S COLONY.

YEPPER, that is the plan I see being shaped.
Islam is a harsher form of Catholicism.
