How is it that Romans came to worship a religion full of Jews when they were warring with the Jews?
30-50 AD >the first Christian church 64 AD >Christianity is a Jewish sect >Nero blames Christians for Great Roman Fire >Christians are killed 66-73 AD >First Roman-Jewish war >Romans destroy Jerusalem 115-117 AD >Second Roman-Jewish war >Jewish rebellions by the exiled throughout the empire 132-136 AD >Third Roman-Jewish war >Jews rebel again and Romans destroy Judea for good 313 AD >Roman Emperor Constantine ends Christian persecution 300-325 AD >The oldest known first complete Bible - Codex Vaticanus 380 AD >Emperor Theodosius makes Christianity official religion of Rome 408-410AD >The end and sack of Rome
So tell me Sup Forums, how did the Romans go from hating the Jews and doing everything in their power to completely erase them from history to worshipping a book based off of Jewish scripture? Was Rome subverted from within?
Constantine had a "Holy vision" or some shit. That's literally it. It can all be traced back to this vision he had and his conversion to Christianity as a result.

Romans were BTFO by superior Nordics and Asiatics, I think it had more to do with them losing their homogeneity to North Africans and the like than anything else.

Theodosius probably realized paganism wasn't ideal to top-down social control like Christianity is. Unfortunately, Christianity is pacifying and weak, and left the people open to being raided by strong, determined Germanic pagans that cared about their kin and weren't part of a multiracial, multicultural empire. We're due for a repeat of history with western Europe as "Rome" and Islamic invaders as "Germans tribes" if we don't do something about our cucked belief/no belief dichotomy. The Crusaders were a good wall, but with widespread actual understanding of biblical ethics, people would rather welcome "refugees" and let them fuck their wives than kill someone of a different race for taking advantage of your peoples' hospitality and bringing in their crime.

I find it hard to believe Theodosius would willingly welcome a foreign power within the body of Rome that could undermine Roman authority. Unless degeneracy made them weak and apathetic like we are seeing with the United States and Europe in present day.
I'm trying to keep an open mind but Christians don't seem to be able to reconcile this contradiction.

Christianity was spreading like wildfire. Even with persecutions under Nero, Diocletian, and the like, it just kept getting bigger, I suppose through the fresh momentum that comes from being a relatively new religion. Anyway, the later Emperors saw the trend and Rome became Christian.
Wyatt Phillips
Roman paganism was all about worshipping heroes and praising glory and fame on earth.
It was a religion best suited for statesmen, conquerors, soldiers and poets. But its emphasis on glory and power excluded the common folk.
Christianity was unusual for religions of its time because it was all about "blessed are the meek", and "the rich don't go to heaven" It was a religion suited for all the farmers, tradesmen, fishermen and itinerants. Of course, these people far outnumbered the elite that would have identified more with the above mentioned paganism. Also, christianity is unusual in its emphasis on evangelisation. It isn't confined to a race, or forced onto people as a part of cultural assimilation.
And I don't think the romans hated judaism as much as they just saw it as one of the dozens of exotic ethno-religious entities that they had to deal with in all corners of their empire.
By the time Constantine came about, persecution against the christians was winding down, and christianity was beginning to be seen as a valid philosophy. Constantine studied christianity formally, and was pretty much a christian even before the famous battle that cemented his faith.

Maybe the Jews stole it from someone before them. Really makes you think.

>here comes the stormnigger retard revisionists attributing everything to race
The Western part of the empire was destroyed mostly by mass immigration from snowniggers who had just been enslaved by the Huns. All the Germanic tribes which weren't united and were fighting against each other over stupid shit were pushed to Roman lands by them. All sacks of Rome that happened after the Gaulish one back in 395 BC were basically nigger tier chimpout revolts due to not getting enough gibs from the Romans. Alaric himself was a Romanboo who wanted to be the commander of the Western Roman army.

Shame what happened to Brazil, isn't that right Pedro?

There was never any hope for it. Moortugal imported too many niggers.

By the time that happened, Christianity was already well established
Constantine changed his story so many times that it's obvious that it wasn't ""true""
It was a political move
Jose Gutierrez
All the Germanic tribes were Arian Christians, ignoramus
>The overall impact of slavery on the Italian genetics was insignificant though, because the slaves imported in Italy were native Europeans, and very few if any of them had extra European origin. This has been further confirmed by recent biochemical analysis of 166 skeletons from three non-elite imperial-era cemeteries in the vicinity of Rome (where the bulk of the slaves lived), which shows that only 1 individual definitely came from outside of Europe (North Africa), and another 2 possibly did, but results are inconclusive. In the rest of the Italian peninsula, the fraction of non European slaves was definitively much lower than that.
Charles Evans
There was a serious depletion if manpower which made the Danubian border hard to control. Federate Germans were allowed over the border. By this stage, war with the Germans would have been crippling. It was Roman + Germanic force which in the end eliminated the pagan Huns at Chalons

>A book which is old can't be true
Pagan snownigger logic No wonder you've never contributed anything useful to humanity
Asher Sanchez
A lot of slaves were Greeks. Most people in the Empire were Greek speaking, throughout the entire history of the Roman/Byzantine period
Joshua Collins
What does that have to do with the Jewish sect of Christianity in the wake of war with Judaism?
Blake Johnson
Umm, not a great deal, but it had quite a lot to do with the post I was responding to actually. On the other hand, considering that the Germanic tribes that settled within the limits of the Empire (and later conquered bit of it) were all Arian Christians, it did play some role in the final extinction of pure paganism within the Roman territories

>How is it that Romans came to worship a religion full of Jews
good goy, jesus was a jew indeed and thus you shouldn't be anti-semitic if you're a christian
kys already
Caleb Perez
But the point is, Christianity has a power and universalism which transcended its roots. Christianity, or a form therefrom, conquered because of its inherent power and truth. For centuries Romans of the governing and intellectual classes tried to destroy or deflect Christianity, but in the end the entire Roman world embraced some version of it. Christianity cannot be destroyed, because it is from God.
Chase Taylor
It's interesting how paralel Trump and Constantine are. I mean, theyre both degenerates that understood the value of christianity and protected it against unjust forces while not living a saintly life.
Lincoln Fisher
So Jesus wasn't a Jew?
I'm asking you to explain this series of events logically and historically. All you seem to be able to do is bark about your love for God. Try explaining things with logic and reasoning rather than your feelings of faith.

>Jesus >Jewish Reminder Jesus was a member of an European, proto-Scottish enclave resident in ancient Galilee who struggled against Judaism. John Knox. A completely free man who disposed inwardly over the entire culture of his time, he has shown the deepest sensitivity for the Superhuman simplicity of Christ. He represented Jesus as what he had once appeared to be: a mediator between Man and God. amazon.com/When-Scotland-Was-Jewish-Archeology/dp/0786477091
