GENERATION OF PAPACY

 

In 318, the Emperors Constantine and Licinius issued the edict (edict) of freedom for Christians and return them to the selected property.

But the Catholic Church challenged the rights of the Church of God. Therefore, this decree referred only to Catholics and their church is "legitimate" and "Holy". So decided Constantine. His Decree ended religious freedom for Christians. Members of the Church of God were declared heretics.

 

Constantine introduced the compliance with the so-called "day of the Lord" - the first day of the week as the day of Sun in the year 321.

Later in the year, 365 Laodicea the Catholic Church banned the observance to give Saturday.

 

The Catholic Church was exempt from public services, and it also supported at the expense of the Treasury. In addition, they have the right “to correct the misguided"  ( Church History of Evzebius ).

 

Therefore, the following led to the first beast:

1. Recognition of the Catholic Church

2. Change of the Sabbath

3. Prosecution of Saturday observing

4. Carrying out other dogmas (heresies) the same methods
