A statue set up at the same time showed Constantine himself, holding aloft a cross and the legend, "by this saving sign I have delivered your city from the tyrant and restored liberty to the Senate and people of Rome."

Constantine's adherence to Christianity was closely associated with his rise to power.

Remember, all a Trinitarian must prove is that all three members of the trinity are persons (specifically the Holy Spirit) and Jehovah's Witness and Christadelphian theology crumbles further into finer dust, than what it already is! The key point is that Anti-Trinitarians are forced to group two persons with a non-personal thing (Holy Spirit = electricity).

Arians will hunt hard to find "that one verse" that will group "two persons and the Bible" together, thinking such is even remotely relevant as a rebuttal.
