From Saul to Constantine

We know that Saul advocated that gentiles, too, could be part of this new Kingdom of God which cometh. It is why Christianity has the attributes it does, believing in pretension itself to be an exclusive religion when this CLEARLY is not the case.
Saul became Paul after the epiphany on the road to Damascus. Constantine converted
to Christianity after the epiphany at battle. Both men were gentiles. Well, Solon-Paul was not originally a gentile. He forfeited his protections when he began to bring gentiles in. I suggest that in the case of Constantine, this new way of thinking was certainly radical, the suggestion that the Powers of Venus and Romulus were consolidated and accessible individually and without the need of state institutions like the priesthood. I suggest to you that it MUST be that Constantine saw this shift in roles as being more convenient that the status quo, MUSTN'T IT? IT MUST! IT MUST! Thank you.
The new way of thinking was certainly interesting. By following the precepts of Jesus, and not the Rabbis or Roman Priests, man could attain glory. We call it Democracy in this hemisphere.
