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.
Well...I am aware of the Council of Nicea and I do not believe that what you believe you have found is accurate...

I have actually listened to most things that Walter Vieth has preached and taught on and I do understand how Christianity was usurped by the Catholic Church who did want to make it a universal church...their teaching is fraught with fallacy...I do not believe the Catholic Church is a Christian religion...rather they will play a significant role in the end times and the one world religion...
Walter Vieth has done MANY series on the history of the church and he, being a former Catholic is quite aware of what the teach and where it all came from...he has excellent teaching as he is a pastor and was a former college professor...very fact filled. I am aware of the Jesuits and the role that they play in usurping religion and I am aware of the dead sea scrolls and the library underneath the Vatican...these are all subjects that Walter Vieth has taught on and I am confident to say that the Word of God stands as truth and testimony to who God is and who Jesus and the Holy Spirit are and the truth of what Jesus accomplished on the cross...I believe the people discounting the truth of the Gospel message and the Bible have an agenda....God was more than able to pass His Word to us...Vieth speaks about anything you could imagine as it has to do with Church History and the Bible...
So my suggestion is to listen to Walter Vieth and if you are not interested in that and are comfortable with your views then I guess we will just have to agree to disagree...The standard is the Word of God...pure and simple....I use the KJV...I am not into the inaccuracy of all the modern translations/rewrites, etc. and I understand the controversies on the translations, etc. but there truly is only one entity that would benefit from such obtuse confusion....and that is not someone that I will trust to give me any truth....
If you would take any time to listen to Walter Vieth's sermons I believe you would be able to see the historical truth of Christianity...and maybe even have your faith restored...God bless...
