Having spent many years as a Christian fundamentalist, I once considered the Bible to be the infallible Word of God. Unfortunately for the church, I am also a diehard researcher. If you don't know about the Council of Nicea, then you are not truly familiar with the origins of your faith. Christianity was created by fiat, by the Roman Emperor Constantine. In the year 325. Rome, basically morphed from an empire, to a universal world wide church. The collection of writings we call the Bible, was assembled and edited by numerous Roman Catholic Popes. By the time Martin Luther got around to pointing out the fact that the Church wasn't following the teachings of Christ, the damage was done. Until we get access to the libraries under the Vatican, we will never know exactly what it was that the Christ was teaching. I have many times argued for the legitimacy of the Bible, but having spent some time researching it's origins, I no longer feel compelled to do so. There is a reason that when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, the Catholic Church swooped in and bought them sight unseen. If the information contained in them were to be available to the general public, their empire would soon collapse. I still read the Bible, and there is much wisdom contained within it's pages. Is it the infallible Word of God? That is a question only you can answer.
