I have owned THE NAG HAMMADI LIBRARY since 1989, and am Gnostic. I am pleased you brought this to the attention of others. Thank you.

The council of Nicaea did not discuss the biblical canon.

[YoshiokaTsuyoshi]

The council in Nicea was to solve the issue of the arian heretics and practical problems in Church structure..

[walkerjohnson]

The historical inaccuracy is killing me

[caseycardenas]

The council of nicea had absolutely nothing to do with biblical canon, this short could not be more wrong 😭😂

[zacharyo.]

How many things can we get wrong in one short?

Constantine convened the Council of Nicaea because of the heresy of Arianism. Had nothing to do with which books were canonized. Christianity did not become the religion of the Roman Empire until Theodosius decreed the Edict of Thessalonica in 380AD. You don’t have much knowledge on early Christianity.

[daveroelands]

Constantine did not call the council, as he was not the Pope. Officially Pope St Sylvester I called the council. Also the primary aim of the council was to address the heresy of Arius, and the product of the council was the condemnation of Arianism and the creation of the Nicene creed.

Lol all lies basically.

1. Constantine converted only on his deathbed, at the behest of his mother.
2. An emperor cannot convene a Council, only the Bishop of Rome could (aka the Pope).
3. Christianity was not legal under Constantine, only permissable. It became the official religion under Theodosius.
4. The canon of the Scriptures was under debate since Christ's death, and was only officially codified at Nicea. The "discarded texts" were considered uninspired and thus excluded. However, some, like the Didache and the Epistle of Clement, are still considered "useful to teaching the Faith", while others, like the forgery called the "Gospel of Thomas", were deemed heretical.

Christus Vincit.

Nicea was about arianism not the biblical canon. Constantine didn't make Christianity the official religion of the empire, just a tolerated religion (see edict of milan). Also it is a common belief that nicea defined the canon, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence for this in the primary sources. The first conciliar definition of the biblical canon doesn't seem to happen until the Western regional councils of hippo and carthage about a century after nicea and even then there still wasn't universal acceptance of an exact biblical canon.

Constantine legalized Christianity. He did not make it the official religion. The council was to resolve to Arian controversy.

[lenormand]

Wrong. Why do people insist on spreading untruths when people can quickly find out they're lying?

[lasislasfilipinas]

First 30 seconds and its already wrong
A. There was no incentive for Constantine to adopt Christianity, it was only popular among the Urban cities in the East and in Rome the vast majority of Romans were pagan and would remain so until the conversion of the Barbarian Kingdoms to Christianity after the Fall of the West, not to mention Constantine still kept Imperial cults like the cult of Sol Invictus and the Cult of the Divine Caesars but over time he became increasingly Christian and converted on his deathbed like many pagans prior
B. The Council of Nicea had nothing on Biblical canon, you can literally look at the actual texts online, it was primarily called to settle the matter of the Docetist heresy in North Africa but was overtaken by the Arianist Controversy and later Heresy, while Constantine did order 30 Bibles made(this is where you probably got this "information" from) the canon would not be formalized later on the Council of Carthage and Rome, reaffirmed at Trent and this isnt even including the Proto-Canon by Saint Ireneus and;
C. The Edict of Milan didnt make Christianity the official religion of the Empire it was the Edict of Thessalonica literally decades after under Emperor Theodosius, the Edict of Milan gave Christianity legal protection and toleration of Christians as Christians previously were seen as enemies of the state for their refusal to do the sacrifices for the Roman State and Milan creating the "official religion" doesn't even make any sense considering Licinius ruled the Eastern(Christian rich) Imperial areas and even persecuted them, not to mention again the numerous coins Constantine had minted showing the Chi-Rho and Sol Invictus

Dawg if you're going to do this argument do something original for once, Protestants have been using this for literally hundreds of years and it's rather silly and unsubstantiated.

This person does not know her history. Read a book.

[federicomarz]

Are you aware of the big amount of confusion you can make to people? This is a salad...mixing Christianity with new age...

[geoffturner]

Wow, that is not what happened at Nicaea...
