..well according to the secular historian tom holland who thought his moral compass came out of the enlightenment, when he was challenged to research it he found that it came out of christianity... In his book dominion he would now say that all the civilisation we have in the west comes out of christianity.... therefore 2 years either way doesnt make much difference..... jesus was a world changer without any force or violence.....

Even a child can simply understand the pure, simple original gospel of Jesus Christ-- John chapter 17, verse 20 -21 “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” We are to become one with God and Jesus and agree with them and the united in the gospel! God in Jesus, agree and are united like a team, they are not the same person. God the Father is all powerful and immortal and had no need to be resurrected. The Son was half mortal and was resurrected. God the Father and the Holy Ghost were not resurrected just Jesus Christ. As he said, a spirit has not flesh and bone as you see I have. Jesus never prayed to himself. Jesus didn’t talk to himself on the cross. Jesus didn’t pray to himself in the garden of Gethsemane. Jesus didn’t talk to himself when he was baptized. Jesus didn’t increase grace by grace with himself. Jesus did not ask himself to have the cup removed, but ask his Father. Jesus increased in favor with God and Man. Jesus talked to his Sire he was the only begotten in the flesh. He existed with His Heavenly Father before the foundation of the earth. Matt 5:48 “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. John 1:2 “The same (Jesus) was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to the prophet Joseph Smith. God will not let confusion reign forever.

Jesus asked Peter, Who do you say that I am? Peter, You are the Christ (Messiah), the Son of the living God. Then, after 300 years of arguing about what Jesus and Peter and the Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit were all in agreement about, Constantine and the Bishops under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit decided a little fine tuning was called for. That clarification has stood the test of time all these 2200 years later and will be rightfully and beautifully celebrated when Pope Francis goes to Nicaea on this historic and holy occasion.

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?

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.

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.

@@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.

There are other podcasts that can show how it’s done.

It is propaganda that the council of nicea was about the deity of Jesus. The question of His deity was not in question. It was about whether Jesus was the son of God or not. Arians at the time said He was, but the members of the council of Nicea concluded He wasn’t, that He was only metaphorically a son, but not literally. They believed He was not literally begotten from the Father, only metaphorically. The council of Nicea denied the words of The Father at Jesus’ baptism. It was a very sad moment for Christianity

This video is a great example of exactly how man-made this religion is. It's amazing to me that Christians don't see that it was People coming together and "agreeing" on theology that propped up this belief system. There was no god here; it was men making decisions on what others must believe in order to participate in this religion.

@@RonnieStout-s4y I was a Christian for 40-some years. I was taught God is not corporeal, so how could there be evidence of him in my face? I don't worship science. Despite what theists say, we humans do not need a god. You worship a creation of man's mind. I value science, because the scientific method uses testing and verification. There is no verification with a god. Science loves to be proved wrong, because when one is shown to be wrong, that person has learned something. Theists are not interested in learning anything new about their world and universe... only about made-up things about their made-up god.

Jesus told men to go out to all the world and tell the Good News. Christianity is a man -made religion, a God-Man made religion. Jesus died and ascended to Heaven and promised His chosen men He would be with them alway til the end of the ages. He and the Father sent their Holy Spirit to guide these men to work with weak flesh and blood men and sinners to continue Jesus’ mission in the world. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.

@@MavourneenKathleen-l5j - why no way? Note that the Council was not a ROMAN Catholic Church affair but a Council convoked by Constantine by the promptings of the Byzantine priest, his personal adviser, Eusebius of Nicomedia to save his friend and fellow presbyter ARIUS (who wrongly taught that Jesus' Divine Nature was created and therefore inferior to the Father). So the Council was practically about Arius' new Christological doctrine against the old Christian Doctrine that Pope Alexander of Alexandria would want to highlight [that Jesus, being true God and true Man, was of the same substance with the Father, begotten and not created]. The Council was practically a toss up between the Coptic Church of Alexandria and the Byzantine Church of Constantinople on a doctrinal level, and all Constantine did was to sponsor a Council to settle this internal mess by the Bishops and among themselves in place in Asia Minor called NIKAIA.

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.
