Did Constantine remove things from the Bible?

Answer 1

Constantine I lived from 272 to 337 AD. The King James version of The Bible was first published in 1611, so there's about a 1300 year gap. I think it's safe to say, no, he didn't.

Constantine did in fact put the Bible together. He chose what books were put in and which were left out. The person who answered this question is mistaken. The King James Version of the Bible is merely a translation of the Bible that Constantine put together from the roman language to old English. It has since been translated into many new version, including Gideons, New King James, etc.

Actually, this is untrue. On the contrary to what the da vinci code may have you believe... Scholars believe that the vast majority of the New Testament was recognized by the church as authoritative, as early as the first century. 4/5's of the new testament was already agreed upon before Constantine, the last fifth of it was put together during constantines era, but not because of political pressure, but because christians could more safetly come together.

Constantine did not choose which books went into the new testament, because they were already agreed on by the churches over a large period of time, as apposed to one moment (Constantine choosing which goes in and which does not).

Previous answer is more or less correct. Constantine had absolutely, nothing to do with the canon of Scripture, that is simply a myth. You will not be able to document one single historical source that shows Constantine or the Council of Nicaea having anything whatsoever to do with the books of the Bible.
