The Christian Byzantine Deception: Truth About Early Christianity (July 15, 2026)

Jay Dyer's interview on Tucker Carlson this week once again proved how far Christians are willing to go out of either ignorance or malicious intent to slap their label on things that do not belong to them, even if they contributed to the same after the fact. Jay claimed that the Byzantine empire was the greatest in history of the world because of Christianity. He also claimed yoga was anti-Christian and magic was wicked, while simultaneously saying that he believed literal bread and wine could be turned into the literal flesh and blood of a God and then consumed. Constantinople was founded in 330 CE. Christianity was adopted as the state religion of the Roman empire in 380 CE. Byzantine was not referred to as such until approximately 100 years later. However, Byzantine was simply the eastern half of the Roman empire. Although Byzantine was primarily Christian, Christians did not build it from the ground because the eastern empire was a continuation of the collective empire, and it inherited all the same economic, social, legal, etc. elements from a primarily non-Christian world. To paint Byzantine as a Christian empire as opposed to the alternative Muslim world is dishonest because their greatest enemy was the non-Muslim Sasanian empire, which embraced Zoroastrianism -- a religion not dissimilar from, but far predating, Christianity. The Byzantine empire utilized slave labor to the same extent the Romans or Muslims used them. Further east, Laozi was writing the same things found in the New Testament 500 years before Jesus. Buddha was tempted by Mara, like Jesus was tempted, but 500 years before. It is entirely relative to talk about the first hospitals and schools being Christian, because most previous societies had them. In fact, the Chinese Han Dynasty had both long before Christendom and Byzantine. Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, all contributed to the university and hospital. The ancient Egyptians had medical centers and the Ancient Greeks had schools. The world's first and oldest continuously operating university is the University of Al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco. Founded in 859 AD by a Muslim named Fatima al-Fihri. The University of Bologna in Italy was founded in 1088 AD and is widely regarded as the oldest university in Europe and the first institution to use the term universitas (meaning a corporation of students). However, Taixue is likely the oldest institutional university in the world, dating back to 124 BC under Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty. Just as eastern Roman Empire wasn't called "byzantine" until after its collapse, Christians like to take credit for the first university, which was only such in name, not in conception or function.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
