I am not going to be so rude as to tell you that you don't know what you are talking about. But I definitely do know what I am talking about. Anyone who reads the Wikipedia link can see what I said in there. I just gave an over all description of the whole, not a word for word court document style. This is just a forum, come on now.
    I mentioned Martin Luther as an aside. He's beside the point. Was that not obvious? What you wanted to do was pretend you had something to say so you went on and on about Luther. You don't. Again, the Council of Nicaea had nothing to do with the bible. The biblical canon wasn't even discussed. Nor did Constantine make any decisions about the bible. Worse still, the Council was one of many held to settle theological and ecclesiastical disputes.

    Yes, please read your Wiki link and you will understand why the council was held, what was addressed and what was agreed upon.

    Third, I'm not "angry" but I you are starting to irritate me.

    If you want to be her protector at least do it well.
    I didn't "attack" her over Martin Luther. I said her citation was irrelevant.


    Books were excluded, which means when time came to start editing, they were already not in consideration. That is editing.

    I messed up this post anyways


    Never mind I don't really get into religious arguments because religion is based on an individual persons beliefs and some people can be really extreme. This is not my style. Even though I am saturated with religious knowledge. I understand that there are such differing views regarding religion, and it is best to keep it to ones self when it comes to what you know on religion because many people are so set in their ways and will get violent when it comes to their religious beliefs.

    I only responded because I was sure that this thread was started because I made a comment to Mr V yesterday regarding the council of Nicaea. I get it. I will just say you are correct. That will satisfy me well. I do not wish to engage in something like this.

    There was nothing under consideration at the council. Please read the Wiki article. Encourage your damsel in distress to do likewise.

    It's not a religious argument and we aren't discussing anyone's beliefs. It's not even an argument. I'm the only here who knows anything about this. Leave the history to me. Thanks

    Ok I am at an understanding with you.
    You know everything about past history as well as current history.
    You are the only one who can ever be right.
    I got it!

    I know nothing , have never known nothing, and never will.
    Even if I provide a historical link it is a lie and no matter what I cannot understand it.
    Got it.

    lol No, in this case I just know more about the Council of Nicaea and corrected your misconceptions. You don't seem to be able to accept that. Pride? Embarrassed for having believed this bologna for so long? Yeah, I guess I would be too...

    These "early" councils, including Nicea, were to determine what Christianity was. There were fights over whether Jesus was a spirit and not a man and fights over whether Jesus was a man only and whether he was both.

    Yes, certain written teachings were dismissed at Nicea. It didn't put the New Testament together but it did eliminate certain written teachings.

    I know this because I have studied it as well.

    I did the two year Bethel Series and have a son who is an ordained minister with a bachelor's degree in religious studies from Indiana University,three years of divinity school and a Doctorate as well. He knows a bit more than either of us.

    The council had nothing to do with "putting the New Testament together" and was held primarily to address the Arian controversy. Glad we agree on this, Don. I don't care about your son but if he thinks the council put the bible together or did much of anything beyond trying to settle the Arian controversy he should ask for his money back.

    I did not say the council put the New Testament together. I said it didn't. I said it threw out certain writings. The Bible as we know it came later.
