From slavery to freedom - What is Christianity? (5)

In this session we look at Moses, one of the most important figures in the Old Testament. He led the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt to freedom. However, this was not simply a historical event: this is perhaps the most significant event in the Old Testament for understanding what it means to be a Christian.

Christianity is a religion created in 325 AD, by Constantine and his "bishops of Rome."
Emperors portrayed Sol Invictus on their official coinage, with a wide range of legends, only a few of which incorporated the epithet invictus, such as the legend SOLI INVICTO COMITI, claiming the Unconquered Sun as a companion to the Emperor, used with particular frequency by Constantine.
Statuettes of Sol Invictus, carried by the standard-bearers, appear in three places in reliefs on the Arch of Constantine.
Constantine's official coinage continued to bear images of Sol Invictus until 326 AD.
A solidus of Constantine, as well as a gold medallion from his reign, depict the Emperor's bust in profile twinned ("jugate") with Sol Invictus, with the legend INVICTUS CONSTANTINUS.
Constantine decreed (March 7, 321) dies Solis-day of the sun, "Sunday"-as the ROMAN DAY OF REST:
"On the venerable day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. "
Constantine's triumphal arch was carefully positioned to align with the colossal statue of Sol Invictus by the Colosseum, so that Sol Invictus formed the dominant backdrop when seen from the direction of the main approach towards the arch.
Constantine worked to merge all of the different pagan religions into his new "christian" religion.
He and the "Bishops of Rome" took most of the pagan festivals and incorporated them into something that both the christians and other pagans would accept.
Thus, the image of the beast came into being -- antichrist jesus, the sungod of Rome.

I don't think that any other system of slavery was like that which existed in the Caribbean and on the American continent during the 16th to 19th centuries. Chattel slavery was completely different to the serf-like systems that existed prior to the Atlantic Slave Trade. One only have to read the Slave Codes of the Barbados Parliament of 1661.
Slavery for enslaved Afrikans was more than the dictionary definition given in this video and the premise that we are all born slaves is absolute nonsense. A theological argument that seems to be used here to excuse the horrible experience of my Afrikan ancestors at the hands of evil European Slave holders who professed Christianity and used the bible to support both the system of slavery and the alleged inferiority of dark skin people.
