U-2012>Many believe that the Roman "church" destroyed many documents which disagreed with it's "theology"

Well, of course they did. They also destroyed the grant given to me personally by Caesar Augustus to all the land in Italy. It it wasn't for the RCC, I could be living it up in my Tuscan resort right now, reading Matthew's gospel in Aramaic.

Curious that the Hebrew documents
prior to the third century are all missing.

Nicea (325CE): when the Roman "church"
was created by Constantine the Pagan Pontiff.

What hebrew documents are missing? How do you even know there are documents that were even “missing”? If they are missing, then 1700 years later you come to know of them? Strange...

Not too surprising, since many of the Jewish Christians apostatized and returned to Judaism. The oldest extant manuscripts of the Syriac (= Aramaic) Peshitta date from the 5th C, I think.

But this is an amusing discussion, since it's usually Catholics who take the position that Matthew may have been originally written in Hebrew (or Aramaic). Composition in either language destroys the usual Protestant argument that petros in Mt 16 means "little pebble".

You have posted this same nonsense numerous times and been corrected each occasion. Are you being intentionally incorrect or are you incapable of comprehending the truth? Constantine DID NOT create the Roman "church". He simply changed the law so that is was no longer illegal to be Christian.

The similarity to modern day Communist China is stark. Catholicism is illegal. If Wen Jiabao became a Catholic and repealed the laws against the practice of Catholicism would you then, similarly, credit him with creating the "Roman "church"" too?
