True. Christianity was established to be outside temporal rule. However after the near destruction of Eastern Christianity, which has suffered the worst persecutions, from then on rose with protection from its temporal rulers. This effective protection ended with the conquest by Muslims, the Ottoman empire, awful conquest and ongoing persecution of remaining Christians, the horrendous staking of Hagia Sophia.
And the different opinions and Biblical interpretations continue to this very day. Finite minds cannot, put an infinite God in whom we live and have our being in a theological box. All we asked to do is follow the WAY Jesus showed us. To love God the reason for everything and love one another. Sadly we fall short on both counts. Thank God Jesus on the cross reconcilled a fallen creation with its creator. If not fully in this age than with much remorse and regret on our behalf in the age to come. But then again only one conviction within Christianity. Faith Hope LOVE these three but LOVE most of all. After all that is the very nature of God.
What you say is true, but in a limited way. There are theological truths that the early Church held that both Martin Luther, Zwingli and Calvin denied. Do I go with new theories originating in the 16th century or do I stick with the Apostolic fathers (late 1st and 2nd century)

The fact that those who made up the council was an Emperor, politicians and Christian men who hated the Jews and therefore there were no Jewish Believers involved at all is the reason for where we are today and the fact that the church is completely out of step with God's word and is completely divided us all, except now for a small Remnant getting back to his truth
Constantine was the 7th king of Rev 17, was foundational in blending true followers of the Messiah and paganism which is still alive and well today. He changed the day of worship from the 7th day (Sabbath) to the 1st day which He named Sunday= sun god worship, that he practiced. Interestingly enough so many call him a hero when in actuality he changed the true Hebrew Messiah into greek object of worship. And so much more. Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.

For a complete academic tome of the Church councils read the dense and heady book, The First Seven Ecumenicals Councils by Leo Donald Davis. Its my favorite book!
A documentary on uniting the early church must necessarily be about the conflicts and power struggles between different versions of early Christianity. Unifying Christian churches does nothing to indicate which, if any, of the different versions of Christianity is more correct than another.
The following is what Jesus Himself said about disputes concerning doctrine. Matthew 13:25-30 (NASB 2020) 25 But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and left. 26 And when the wheat sprouted and produced grain, then the weeds also became evident. 27 And the slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28 And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No; while you are gathering up the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the weeds and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ” This "Council" was a dispute about doctrine sitting before a pagan Emporer. Political power was used against the party that lost the "trial." This whole Council and all the subsequent ones are all Catholic disputes about Catholic doctrine. John Calvin was no better. It cannot possible be of the Lord to put to death other Christians because they don't bow the knee before your theology. That fact is clearly stated by the Lord Himself in Matthew 13. 1 Corinthians 6:4-6 (NASB 2020) 4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you anyone wise who will be able to decide between his brothers and sisters, 6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
Interesting that neither the Nicene nor Apostolic creeds say anything much at all about Jesus' teachings, his miracles, his mission, or the contents of the New Testament, except only indirectly and compendiously.
Look at an Orthodox site. Orthodoxy has continued with the Nicene Creed since then although Arian emperors followed after Constantines family . This site is not a real historical site or theological , I think . and is aimed at first year students at U S Colleges it seems IMHO
The reference to Socrates is puzzling, particularly since he lived and did his work several hundred years prior to the council of Nicaea. While the number of bishops in attendance of 250 to 300 is likely very accurate… the video I think made it seem like the council was more fully ecumenical than it really was. While the bishops and attendance came from a broad swot of the eastern Empire, only three or four bishops came from the west.
I never heard that there was more than one famous Socrates that you would make reference to before i saw these comments !! I really dont think this production is that accurate.....

The Nicene Council was not to unite, but to separate the church with false doctrine what we call today the “ trinity” and destroy the apostles’ doctrine(teachings).
And your evidence is…? The Council affirmed the Divinity of Christ not the Trinity. The Trinity had been in use by Church Fathers since the second century.
@@zacharyo.484 you need to do your research and the trinity was first mention by Tertullian in the early 3rd Century and this was the chopping block at the Council of Nicea debated and voted either the church will doctrinate Christ is God in One and not Three Trinity.
1. Hebrews 1:5 tells us that Jesus was begotten by His Father. Did He beget Himself? 2. In Matthew 22:44, the Father said Jesus would sit at His right hand until His enemies were made His footstool. Was Jesus to sit at His own right hand? 3. In Matthew 24:36, when Jesus told His disciples that no one knows the day or hour of His return but the Father only, did He really know but made up an excuse to not tell them? 4. In John 14:28, Jesus said His Father was greater than He was. Does this mean He was greater than Himself? 5. In John 17:1, Jesus prayed to His Father. Was He praying to Himself? 6. In Matthew 27:46, Jesus cried out, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?" Had He forsaken Himself? 7. In John 20:17, Jesus said He would ascend to the Father after His resurrection. Did He ascend to Himself? These and many other biblical passages demonstrate to a rational Bible reader that the Trinity teaching is not only unbiblical, but also utterly illogical
WRONG! Constantine did not become a Christian by AD316 as stated in this video. He did not call for the Σύνοδος τῆς Νικαίας (Synodos tes Nikaia) or the Council of Nikaia or Nicaea because he wanted any Christian unity. His only role was to sponsor the Nicaean Council in the same way as he sponsored pagan temples and gatherings. Having just established his empire in Byzantium, he was playing a political balancing act with pagans and Christians alike in the service of the Pax Romana. His first act was to co-sponsor the Edictum Mediolanense AD 313 (Edict of Milan) with his co-emperor Licinius in order to decriminalize Christianity in pursuit of the Roman Peace. He had a Christian adviser, a priest of the Byzantine Church Eusebius of Nicomedia who was a supporter of the heretic priest Arius and his teaching that Christ was a created being, not begotten of the Father, ergo an inferior deity. Arius was refuted by the Coptic Pope of Alexandria, Alexander who called up a local council with participating bishops from Egypt who excommunicated Arius. Eusebius, being sympathetic to Arius, referred the matter to Constantine who sent a letter to both Alexander and Arius to settle their dispute and reconcile, and volunteered to sponsor the council that deposed and anathemized Arius and his followers. Despite the pleadings of his saintly mother, Helena, Constantine continued his frivolous life while supporting both Christians and pagans. It was only some few hours before his death that Constantine received Baptism from Eusebius of Nicomedia. So technically, he was baptized a Byzantine Catholic, not a Roman Catholic - being a resident of Byzantium and baptized by a Byzantine priest in 22 May 337.
This sounds accurate to me. Can you please cite your sources? I remember hearing elsewhere that Constantine was only baptised hours before his death and that many bishops regarded Constantine as meddlesome in Church affairs, for his own personal advantage. Further, Constantine erred on the side of Arianism.
@@OzCrusader You are right that Constantine "meddled" in some Church affairs for his advantage, i.e. for mere political popularity. But having been raised in a pagan background, he never meddled with their doctrines and practices. While the Council of Nicaea was about the Divine Nature of Christ, he attended only its first session, was given a place of honor, but never more appeared having no knowledge of what they were talking about. Yes, he built some of their Churches and donated basilicas to be used as their Churches, most probably to please her Christian mother, Helena. It is highly possible that he adapted Arianism, having been taught by Arius' friend, Eusebius of Nicomedia, his close adviser.
@@JoseMariadeManila-g3f Your history is way out of line. Constantine had an advisor, christian bishop, Hossius of Cordoba, since the time he became emperor. It's very provable, almost certain the he received a baptism in secret at the same time.
@@Nepoznat811 - Bishop Hosius of Cordoba was never a close-in adviser to Constantine. It has always been the Byzantine priest, Eusebius of Nicomedia who was instrumental in soliciting the support of Constantine in hosting the Council at Nikaia or Nicene for the sake of his heretic friend Arius, the promoter of the heresy that erroneously taught that Jesus was a created deity, inferior to the Father. Constantine's home and imperial palace was situated in Constantinople, Byzantium (present day Istanbul), where the Church who had jurisdiction was the Byzantine Catholic Church that St Andrew founded. Hence it makes more sense to engage a Byzantine priest in Eusebius as the "chaplain" for his Legions rather than a priest of the Latin Church in Hosius of Cordoba. This Cordovan bishop was instrumental though in presiding over the Nicaean Council with Pope Alexander of the Coptic Church of Egypt which concluded with the deposition and exile of Arius away from Constantinople. Eusebius was there until his deathbed, administering the Mystery of Baptism to the dying emperor. Eusebius in fact succeeded Arius as the Patriarch of Constantinople and tried to influence the successor emperor Constantius II to pressure Hosius to withdraw support of the Coptic Patriarch Athanasius. But orthodoxy gave him the fortitude and courage to oppose his imperial interference into Church affairs which brought him to exile to Sirmium (Serbia). I understand it has been a futile effort among some evangelicals to twist the history on Constantine in order to attribute to him the foundation of the Roman Catholic Church. Too bad! He was no Roman Catholic even if he was a Roman citizen. He was de facto a Byzantine Catholic just a few hours before he passed away, as baptized by a heretic Byzantine priest, Eusebius of Nicomedia.
It may be a history of the apostasy, and only serve as warning and not a template. We have the canonized scripture to follow as our authority. Let us diligently study and examine the word to guide and direct our steps. Jesus Christ bless you!
325 AD is the date paganism was officially grafted into what is regarded as the Christian religion. The present day traditions of Christmas, Easter and so on are a direct result of that.
The three basic things that came out of the Nicene consul... are the benefits that have never changed. 1. Dispelled foundational catholic heresy and rooted it out.... Arius and his heresy spouting confederates took their greazy butts right across the hall and established the basics of the roman catholic bishopric the same year. 2. Codified 66 books written by 40 different authors as sola scriptura - they kept the text that were anointed, and rejected the pseudo apocrypha - If it wasn't affirmed in scripture, Anointed by the holy spirit as bejng led.. then it was rejected. 3. Got Constantine II to further scale back Diocletian era anti christian prohibitions. That's really the root of what got done. Anything else is speculative but what I mentioned here can traced, you can affirm.
Constantine had no strong opinion on the doctrinal issues. His wife was a follower of Arius but the main thing Constantine wanted was a unified position on what a Christian believed. As the Emperor he was tired of the various Bishops and believers coming to him and complaining about others with different beliefs. While Constantine did not voice an opinion he informed the attendees they could not leave without coming to a consensus and that it must be written down and made available throughout the Empire. This is how we came to have the Nicaean Creed. The Nicaean Creed became such a foundational part of the Christian Church that when the Church in Rome altered it in 1054 to add that the Holy Spirt came from the Father and Son ( it originally said the Spirit came from just the Father) the Eastern Church split from Rome because they contended the Council was inspired by God and changing the wording was contradicting God!
Imagine if the 300 top physicists in the world had a meeting and voted on what was true about physics. Two thousand years later, technology and observation had brought new information that was never dreamed of. Yet, the scientists of the future preached that none of it was true, because the 300 had already decided everything, and nothing learned since then mattered.
Those of us who are Reformed, constantly check Sola Scriptura for accuracy of man's decision regarding correct doctrine. We believe the Nicene Creed reflects the basic tenets of faith, as accurately as possible, as stated in God's Word.

The fact that those who made up the council was an Emperor, politicians and Christian men who hated the Jews and therefore there were no Jewish Believers involved at all is the reason for where we are today and the fact that the church is completely out of step with God's word and is completely divided us all, except now for a small Remnant getting back to his truth
There was no feast and no sponsorship by Constantine.
Constantine was the 7th king of Rev 17, was foundational in blending true followers of the Messiah and paganism which is still alive and well today. He changed the day of worship from the 7th day (Sabbath) to the 1st day which He named Sunday= sun god worship, that he practiced. Interestingly enough so many call him a hero when in actuality he changed the true Hebrew Messiah into greek object of worship. And so much more. Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.
And your evidence is….?

Good Today ! __ " Jesus the Christ of GOD ", a simple trueth easily found in the early Writtings of the Jewish and Gentile Be-Livers of the " Way, Trueth, Life ". __ humbly, neighbour daniel __ p.s. thanks for increasing knowledge in this our troubled time .
For a complete academic tome of the Church councils read the dense and heady book, The First Seven Ecumenicals Councils by Leo Donald Davis. Its my favorite book!
A documentary on uniting the early church must necessarily be about the conflicts and power struggles between different versions of early Christianity. Unifying Christian churches does nothing to indicate which, if any, of the different versions of Christianity is more correct than another.
I'm not sure about that because he was baptized at death.
The following is what Jesus Himself said about disputes concerning doctrine.
Matthew 13:25-30 (NASB 2020)
25 But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and left. 26 And when the wheat sprouted and produced grain, then the weeds also became evident. 27 And the slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28 And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No; while you are gathering up the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the weeds and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”
This "Council" was a dispute about doctrine sitting before a pagan Emporer. Political power was used against the party that lost the "trial." This whole Council and all the subsequent ones are all Catholic disputes about Catholic doctrine. John Calvin was no better. It cannot possible be of the Lord to put to death other Christians because they don't bow the knee before your theology. That fact is clearly stated by the Lord Himself in Matthew 13.
1 Corinthians 6:4-6 (NASB 2020)
4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you anyone wise who will be able to decide between his brothers and sisters, 6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
There is much in the visuals that is anachronistic and in error. Otherwise, this is a good explanation.
Interesting that neither the Nicene nor Apostolic creeds say anything much at all about Jesus' teachings, his miracles, his mission, or the contents of the New Testament, except only indirectly and compendiously.
The Bible says that, why do they need to repeat it?
@@Nepoznat811
Does that mean the Nicene creed is only to state what is not in the Bible?
Look at an Orthodox site. Orthodoxy has continued with the Nicene Creed since then although Arian emperors followed after Constantines family . This site is not a real historical site or theological , I think . and is aimed at first year students at U S Colleges it seems IMHO
It is very instructional how man separated himself from GOD
Turn down the music
Do you have a Imprimatur?
The reference to Socrates is puzzling, particularly since he lived and did his work several hundred years prior to the council of Nicaea. While the number of bishops in attendance of 250 to 300 is likely very accurate… the video I think made it seem like the council was more fully ecumenical than it really was. While the bishops and attendance came from a broad swot of the eastern Empire, only three or four bishops came from the west.
Maybe a different Socrates!
@@gilberturesti338 You are correct. Who knew? Evidently Socrates of Constantinople was a 4th Century AD historian.
Different Socrates. Not everyone named William is the same person 🙄
@@suzannederringer1607thank you.
I never heard that there was more than one famous Socrates that you would make reference to before i saw these comments !!
I really dont think this production is that accurate.....
The Catholic Church was not uniformed and practicing exactly as they have from the beginning till today without ever changing?
Why didn’t God show up at this important gig to help solve the problems
Because it was not truly Christian, it was more pagan than Christian.
God says “I Am Who I Am”… and a bunch of men in robes sa “Nah. We define who you are. “
Jesus Christ Replied: I Am The Way The Truth And The Life No One Comes Unto The Father Except Through Me!✝️✝️🛐🛐😇🌟🤗🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦🇬🇧🇮🇱♾️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🗽🦅❤️❤️❤️‼️

After the Bronze age collapse @ 1300 BC to 700 BC, all the ancient knowledge was lost .There was a long struggle to find this knowledge .Most of it was found but not understood
Listen closely to their declaration
The Emperor Constantine called the council in his role of "Supreme Pontiff". Today, the Bishop of Rome calls himself the "Supreme Pontiff".
It's a pagan title for a leader of a pagan church.
The supreme lie
Goddamn the music is loud and irritating
10000000%. unwatchable, but would love to. same for keyboard typing! but, would be a great for a short video like a trailer.
Blasphemy is not wise
excellent narration, but the music is like sitting down at movie theater that drowns out the words. I’ll keep checking every month or so but man, these producers would boost their reach if they could produce an intelligible product for those that want to learn something. turn the music on, low, at transitions, and then dial it down to nothing and speak. There are other podcasts that can show how it’s done.
Very nice...

What Is The Root Of The Word “Church “ and What It Means …?…..When and Why The Word Took Its Today’s Classifications…..🌞
God Help / To Under Stand …….And Just Learn The Higher Mind …..🌞
The Nicene Council was not to unite, but to separate the church with false doctrine what we call today the “ trinity” and destroy the apostles’ doctrine(teachings).
This is the truth. You may like a channel I found 'follow the lamb today' that speaks the true word.
And your evidence is…? The Council affirmed the Divinity of Christ not the Trinity. The Trinity had been in use by Church Fathers since the second century.
@@zacharyo.484 you need to do your research and the trinity was first mention by Tertullian in the early 3rd Century and this was the chopping block at the Council of Nicea debated and voted either the church will doctrinate Christ is God in One and not Three Trinity.
If the bible was clear ,would never needed this council,….and untold controversy since !
They discredited Biblical truths and hybrided with Roman pagan doctrines
New book - “Promise and Hope: Good News of God’s Anointed One”
1. Hebrews 1:5 tells us that Jesus was begotten by His Father. Did He beget Himself?
2. In Matthew 22:44, the Father said Jesus would sit at His right hand until His enemies were made His footstool. Was Jesus to sit at His own right hand?
3. In Matthew 24:36, when Jesus told His disciples that no one knows the day or hour of His return but the Father only, did He really know but made up an excuse to not tell them?
4. In John 14:28, Jesus said His Father was greater than He was. Does this mean He was greater than Himself?
5. In John 17:1, Jesus prayed to His Father. Was He praying to Himself?
6. In Matthew 27:46, Jesus cried out, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?" Had He forsaken Himself?
7. In John 20:17, Jesus said He would ascend to the Father after His resurrection. Did He ascend to Himself?
These and many other biblical passages demonstrate to a rational Bible reader that the Trinity teaching is not only unbiblical, but also utterly illogical
WRONG! Constantine did not become a Christian by AD316 as stated in this video. He did not call for the Σύνοδος τῆς Νικαίας (Synodos tes Nikaia) or the Council of Nikaia or Nicaea because he wanted any Christian unity. His only role was to sponsor the Nicaean Council in the same way as he sponsored pagan temples and gatherings. Having just established his empire in Byzantium, he was playing a political balancing act with pagans and Christians alike in the service of the Pax Romana. His first act was to co-sponsor the Edictum Mediolanense AD 313 (Edict of Milan) with his co-emperor Licinius in order to decriminalize Christianity in pursuit of the Roman Peace. He had a Christian adviser, a priest of the Byzantine Church Eusebius of Nicomedia who was a supporter of the heretic priest Arius and his teaching that Christ was a created being, not begotten of the Father, ergo an inferior deity. Arius was refuted by the Coptic Pope of Alexandria, Alexander who called up a local council with participating bishops from Egypt who excommunicated Arius. Eusebius, being sympathetic to Arius, referred the matter to Constantine who sent a letter to both Alexander and Arius to settle their dispute and reconcile, and volunteered to sponsor the council that deposed and anathemized Arius and his followers. Despite the pleadings of his saintly mother, Helena, Constantine continued his frivolous life while supporting both Christians and pagans. It was only some few hours before his death that Constantine received Baptism from Eusebius of Nicomedia. So technically, he was baptized a Byzantine Catholic, not a Roman Catholic - being a resident of Byzantium and baptized by a Byzantine priest in 22 May 337.
This sounds accurate to me. Can you please cite your sources? I remember hearing elsewhere that Constantine was only baptised hours before his death and that many bishops regarded Constantine as meddlesome in Church affairs, for his own personal advantage. Further, Constantine erred on the side of Arianism.
@@OzCrusader You are right that Constantine "meddled" in some Church affairs for his advantage, i.e. for mere political popularity. But having been raised in a pagan background, he never meddled with their doctrines and practices. While the Council of Nicaea was about the Divine Nature of Christ, he attended only its first session, was given a place of honor, but never more appeared having no knowledge of what they were talking about. Yes, he built some of their Churches and donated basilicas to be used as their Churches, most probably to please her Christian mother, Helena. It is highly possible that he adapted Arianism, having been taught by Arius' friend, Eusebius of Nicomedia, his close adviser.
@@JoseMariadeManila-g3f Your history is way out of line. Constantine had an advisor, christian bishop, Hossius of Cordoba, since the time he became emperor. It's very provable, almost certain the he received a baptism in secret at the same time.
@@Nepoznat811 - Bishop Hosius of Cordoba was never a close-in adviser to Constantine. It has always been the Byzantine priest, Eusebius of Nicomedia who was instrumental in soliciting the support of Constantine in hosting the Council at Nikaia or Nicene for the sake of his heretic friend Arius, the promoter of the heresy that erroneously taught that Jesus was a created deity, inferior to the Father. Constantine's home and imperial palace was situated in Constantinople, Byzantium (present day Istanbul), where the Church who had jurisdiction was the Byzantine Catholic Church that St Andrew founded. Hence it makes more sense to engage a Byzantine priest in Eusebius as the "chaplain" for his Legions rather than a priest of the Latin Church in Hosius of Cordoba. This Cordovan bishop was instrumental though in presiding over the Nicaean Council with Pope Alexander of the Coptic Church of Egypt which concluded with the deposition and exile of Arius away from Constantinople. Eusebius was there until his deathbed, administering the Mystery of Baptism to the dying emperor. Eusebius in fact succeeded Arius as the Patriarch of Constantinople and tried to influence the successor emperor Constantius II to pressure Hosius to withdraw support of the Coptic Patriarch Athanasius. But orthodoxy gave him the fortitude and courage to oppose his imperial interference into Church affairs which brought him to exile to Sirmium (Serbia). I understand it has been a futile effort among some evangelicals to twist the history on Constantine in order to attribute to him the foundation of the Roman Catholic Church. Too bad! He was no Roman Catholic even if he was a Roman citizen. He was de facto a Byzantine Catholic just a few hours before he passed away, as baptized by a heretic Byzantine priest, Eusebius of Nicomedia.
so Nicea and all its conclusions and findings are illegal and need to be reversed immediately?
It may be a history of the apostasy, and only serve as warning and not a template.
We have the canonized scripture to follow as our authority.
Let us diligently study and examine the word to guide and direct our steps.
Jesus Christ bless you!
So these bishops invented Jesus PBUH as a God when he never claimed to be. Just utter madness

325 AD is the date paganism was officially grafted into what is regarded as the Christian religion. The present day traditions of Christmas, Easter and so on are a direct result of that.

Music is too loud to clearly hear the narrative. Ruins the video. An amateur's mistake.
Why were their clothes so primitive?
The three basic things that came out of the Nicene consul... are the benefits that have never changed.
1. Dispelled foundational catholic heresy and rooted it out.... Arius and his heresy spouting confederates took their greazy butts right across the hall and established the basics of the roman catholic bishopric the same year.
2. Codified 66 books written by 40 different authors as sola scriptura - they kept the text that were anointed, and rejected the pseudo apocrypha - If it wasn't affirmed in scripture, Anointed by the holy spirit as bejng led.. then it was rejected.
3. Got Constantine II to further scale back Diocletian era anti christian prohibitions.
That's really the root of what got done. Anything else is speculative but what I mentioned here can traced, you can affirm.
Constantine had no strong opinion on the doctrinal issues. His wife was a follower of Arius but the main thing Constantine wanted was a unified position on what a Christian believed. As the Emperor he was tired of the various Bishops and believers coming to him and complaining about others with different beliefs. While Constantine did not voice an opinion he informed the attendees they could not leave without coming to a consensus and that it must be written down and made available throughout the Empire. This is how we came to have the Nicaean Creed. The Nicaean Creed became such a foundational part of the Christian Church that when the Church in Rome altered it in 1054 to add that the Holy Spirt came from the Father and Son ( it originally said the Spirit came from just the Father) the Eastern Church split from Rome because they contended the Council was inspired by God and changing the wording was contradicting God!
The Nicene Creed is garbage just like the churches that approved it.
A murderer, desperate politician who claimed he saw a Cross in the sky...oops and an Evil fraud who founds the Roman universal church.
Constantine water 2 re-establish Roman Empire and he did
Imagine if the 300 top physicists in the world had a meeting and voted on what was true about physics. Two thousand years later, technology and observation had brought new information that was never dreamed of. Yet, the scientists of the future preached that none of it was true, because the 300 had already decided everything, and nothing learned since then mattered.
Great example 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 precisely what I was thinking about. Not exactly like your description but close!! You da Man!
Are you implying that Christianity is false?
Those of us who are Reformed, constantly check Sola Scriptura for accuracy of man's decision regarding correct doctrine. We believe the Nicene Creed reflects the basic tenets of faith, as accurately as possible, as stated in God's Word.
The competitive music is so unnecessary.
