The edict stated:
Quote:

It is our desire that all the various nations which are subject to our Clemency and Moderation, should continue to profess that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter, as it has been preserved by faithful tradition, and which is now professed by the Pontiff Damasus and by Peter, Bishop of Alexandria, a man of apostolic holiness. According to the apostolic teaching and the doctrine of the Gospel, let us believe in the one deity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, in equal majesty and in a holy Trinity. We authorize the followers of this law to assume the title of Catholic Christians; but as for the others, since, in our judgment they are foolish madmen, we decree that they shall be branded with the ignominious name of heretics, and shall not presume to give to their conventicles the name of churches. They will suffer in the first place the chastisement of the divine condemnation and in the second the punishment of our authority which in accordance with the will of Heaven we shall decide to inflict.

After Constantine made Christianity legal, Emperor Theodosius made it the State Religion...Some 300 years after Nero's persecutions...Just like King David conquered pagan Jerusalem from the Jebusites and made it the world center of the Kingdom of God, after Matthew 21:43 when it was removed from the Jews, King Jesus conquered pagan Rome and made it the worldwide Center of the Kingdom...

Read the article from the link and noted the last sentence, "The Edict of Thessalonica needs to be re-affirmed once we, as white Christian nations, regain self-determination."

Wow.

Texas is about 39% Hispanic and 39% Anglo and 12-13 black. Lots of intermarriages.

Where is this "white Christian nation" of which you speak?

I don't even know what a white Christian nation is in relation to the Bible. Thought the OP could provide some context.

I'd say a white Christian nation is one where the established religion is Christianity and the native race is white. Like the UK or Denmark.

Why would their race matter? Pretty sure the established church in Denmark is more concerned with Danes according to their citizenship. Regardless of their race.

I'm not sure. Maybe they meant ethnicity.
