>be Chi-Rho symbol
>16 centuries of people thinking it meant "jesus ChRist"
It clearly meant "Constantine Rex", as in "we're going to make Constantine the new Roman Emperor and depose Maxentius.
Why is history like this? Why have Christians so obviously perverted so much of history, to the point that we can't undo the errors?
>Christos Rex
Why does the heathen rage?
His soldiers weren't Christian. He didn't convert them to Christianity. He had a mix of Neoplatonists, Mithra cultists, and only a few Christo-israeli backers. Christianity wasn't even fully formed by the time of Constantine, as a few books of the Holy Bible had not yet been fully edited.
>Christo-israeli backers
We're not just playing fast and loose with history, we're inventing new religions and ethnicities whole cloth. To hell with objective definitions of words and am I right fellow Christian haters?
The bible was fullt edited in 98 ad
The book of the bible were not even finished by 98AD.
>why is the symbol used by the first christian emperor of Rome heavily associated with christianity
But the Greek spelling of Constantine (Κωνστᾰντῖνος) starts with Kappa, not Chi. Using Greek letters to abbreviate a Roman name & title would be a bit odd regardless.
Constantine didn't even speak Greek very well lmao. The name is Latin (Constans, Constantine, Constantius etc.) like his first language although his mother might have been of Greek descent.
I fricking hate the romanization of Greek letters, X (the Greek letter) is pronounced like the H in hiss. Constantine is pronounced with a hard K sound, and spelt with a Greek K. The Chi-Rho is just a Christogram which contains the first two (arguably three but the I is obscured) letters of Christ in Greek (Χριστός)
that’s not even the right letter for Constantine. You are dumb. Learn ancient orthographies, brainlet
This is nonsence. The name "Constantine" doesn't begin with a Chi, and Roman emperors never claimed the title of a king (rex). The last Roman king was overthrown in 509 BC, and the title was never revived.
>the title was never revived.
Oh, but there was to be one more, right at the very end of Rome in the West.
Whoa ot meant Xonstantine?
Sōytantine
Roman emperors didnt call themselves kings. Romans were extremely anti-king ever since the beginning of the republic which is why they invented a new word for king to avoid associating the emperor with kings (emperor = imperator = commander, originally a military term, also princeps civitatis= first citizen, foremost citizen)
Why would you lie about this? Like what do you get out of this?
