Actually, research shows that Constantine imposed himself as a God, at par with the three identical gods, namely Jupiter, Mithras and Jesus. The worship of these gods, among others, was widespread and simultaneous all over the Roman empire, whether openly or discreetly.
I thought Jupiter is Zeus and Sun god is Apollo/Mithras?
Jupiter was/is Roman and Zeus was/is Greek, the God of the sky and thunder. Apollo was/is mathogothanio, the God of everything and nothing in particular. My understanding.
Yes. Easter, Lent, Good Friday pia.

Hebrews 8:7-13
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Jesus Christ did not come to condemn the laws of Moses and the prophets of the old testament but rather to fulfill the same he died for our sins, that’s what to the new covenant is all about, the ten commandments still stand to this day, the lord say’s am the same, yesterday, today and forevermore
Very true. In Psalm 19:7, we read that “the Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul” . Even Paul, in Romans 7:12, tells us that the Law is holy. There’s just no scriptural support for doing away with commandments.
