Politics Behind Roman Trinity

Rulers Changing Religious Doctrines For Their Benefit:

It was 325 years after Allah took Prophet Jesus away that the doctrine of the Trinity was declared to be the orthodox Christian belief. Constantine, the pagan emperor of Rome, presided over the Christian council of Nicea who for political purposes forced a change of belief on Christians.

That this historic decision was based just as much on political expediency as on the faulty reasoning of philosophy is shown by the part played by Constantine, the pagan emperor of Rome, who presided over the council of Nicea. The growing communities of Christians were a force whose opposition he had no wish for, who weakened his Empire and whose support would be invaluable in strengthening it. By remodeling Christianity, he hoped to gain the Church’s support and at the same time end the confusion which had arisen within it and which was the source of yet more conflict within his Empire.

The process by which he partially achieved this aim may be illustrated by an incident which occurred in the Second World War. Once, as the time for the Muslim festival of ‘Id drew near, propaganda from Tokyo began to concentrate on and ‘Id prayer that was going to be held in Singapore, then under Japanese occupation.  It would be an historic occasion, it was announced, and its effect would be felt throughout the Muslim world. This sudden emphasis on the prayer abruptly stopped after a few days. The mystery was solved when a Japanese prisoner was taken in a skirmish and was interrogated. He said that Tojo, the head of the Japanese government, was planning to take on the role of the greatest Muslim reformer of modern times.  He had a scheme to adjust the teachings of Islam to the requirements of the modern age. It had therefore become necessary, according to him, that the Muslims, instead of facing Mecca in prayer, should start facing Tokyo, which would become the future center of Islam under Tojo. The Muslims refused this reorientation of Islam, and so the whole project was dropped.  As a result, there was no ‘Id prayer allowed in Singapore that year. Tojo had realized the importance of Islam and he wanted to use it as a means to further his imperialistic designs, but he was unsuccessful. Constantine succeeded where Tojo failed. Rome replaced Jerusalem as the center of Pauline Christianity.
