If I remember correctly Saint Nicholas punched Arius at the council

[Moose-izuo]

They saw the Da Vinci code and thought it was true.

[CadetSammons]

The first council is where santa slapped arius in the face. Cool stuff.

[Chordus_Gaius]

This myth unfortunately still widespread in popular culture

[OzCrusader]

For you trivia nurds: present at this council was St Nicholas of Myra. He was a staunch trinitarian, fighting against the arian heresy to the point of actually punching Arius in the face. He was born circa 280 in Patara, Lycia, in present-day Turkey, losing both parents as a young man, used his inheritance to help the poor and sick. Hence he is the inspiration for the legend of Santa Claus. A devout Catholic, he served as bishop of Myra, now Demre.

To say these Bishops of the Church, the successors to the Apostles, many of whom had endured years of terrible persecution, many of those (not all) who came to the council were missing limbs and tongues and having endured torture and prison for the sake of Christ and the gospel…to say they would dare change Christian doctrine because the Emperor told them to do so…is spitting in the face of these great servants of Christ and his Church.

This is basically like beating a dead horse lol.

In the future a video about some of the councils would be insightful. Thanks for all your work

Smashing up the web of lies yet again!! I hope our God Blesses you and your ministry brother.

[TandemSix]

I like the fact that people on the internet like to revise next to everything about Christianity

[MuhammadsMohel]

They also never address the Edict of Milan or Thessalonica

[marvalice]

certain groups who desperately want there to have been a "great apostasy " love to use this council, because it's so important. they very rarely actually look uo the content though.

[GranMaese]

I love this channel so much. Goes straight to the point, doesn't sugar-coat it. And says the things that had to be said.

[Paul-oplz]

Muslims will hear something about this Arian heresy and disingenuously blow it out of proportion claiming "ah yes this was the first time it was decided that Jesus was God!" smh

[FRISHR]

Easter and Christmas still got mixed with paganism Eostre and Yule/Saturnalia.

[pervertpedophileprophet]

The Jehovah witnesses who gave false prophecy also makes use of these Nicea conspiracy.

[blacksmoke]

No, but Constantine DID demand decisions be made quickly because he had commissioned the creation of several Bibles that could not be completed until they solved some issues. This cannot be overlooked. Before this point there were no collections of biblical text we would recognize. They weren't really found bound together in one collection until after this council.

[fdsajfldaskjf]

If only I could get my cousin to understand this. He keeps hiding behind his psych major and claims that anything I say isn’t true because I dropped out of college and I’m not one of “ThE eXpErTs.”

[benjaminkonikoff]

This is the kind of Christian page I can get behind. Finding the truth so you can help others spread the truth and help others be better Christian’s.

According to Dr. Daniel Wallace, greek scholar, the books of the biblical canon predated the council of Nicaea. And yes, as stated in the video, we don't have a scintilla of evidence suggesting Constantine (nor the council) made alterations in the Christian doctrine. The council of Nicaea was established for the clarification and organization of Christian teachings.
