“The events in this chapter span a period of time from A.D. 64 through the mid-seventh century. But several of its most important events (during the time of Constantine) occurred between A.D. 311 to 337. The persecutions against Christians began under the Roman emperor, Nero, about July of A.D. 64, and continued on intermittently for centuries. It was the Christian writer, Tertullian (197-227) who, about the year 206, wrote to the emperor, Septimius Severus, that “the blood of Christians is seed.” In April 311, the Roman persecutions against the Christians suddenly ceased, as Constantine I, with his associates, issued an Edict of Toleration. Now that the Church had become popular, unscriptural errors from paganism immediately began crowding into it. During Constantine’s reign (306-337), the Church became the official religion of the Roman Empire. Persecution of Bible-believing Christians, by half-converted pagan church leaders, began—and continued on for centuries.” ~Harvestime Ed.
