Christianity originated with Jesus and His 12 Apostles in the early part of the first Century so NO your statement that Chistianity was "invented" by Constantine is factually wrong but you don't stop there.

"Interesting Christian word origin fact -
The English word "Church" comes from the Scottish word "Kirk".
The Scottish word "Kirk" comes from the Roman word "Circ" (pronounced - sirs).
The Roman word "Circ" comes from the Greek word "Circe" (pronounced sirsae).
The Greek word "Circe" comes from the Greek mythology tale of "Mother Circe". "

You're wrong again:

The New Testament Greek word for Church is: ekklésia:


ekklésia: an assembly, a (religious) congregation
Original Word: ?????s?a, a?, ?
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: ekklésia
Phonetic Spelling: (ek-klay-see'-ah)
Short Definition: an assembly, congregation, church
Definition: an assembly, congregation, church; the Church, the whole body of Christian believers.

"We certainly know that later on Christianity was invented at the council of Nicaea in the 3rd century AD by the Roman emperor Constantine and others"

LOL!! It is STILL being invented. There are now over 30 THOUSAND Christian Sects that disagree with (and often DESPISE) one another! Nothing like the certainty of Truth (and the jejune Conviction of special privilege and authority in an imaginary invisible kingdom), to engender CONTEMPT! Hee hee...
