A 1700-Year-Old Lie – Celebrated
Council of Nicaea
A House Divided
1700 years ago in 325 AD Constantine, the Emperor of the Roman Empire, summoned the ‘Christian’ religious leaders to the city of Nicaea. There were two main drivers for this first ever ‘ecumenical council.’ Most well known was the aim to resolve divisions between Christians regarding beliefs and practices. But for Constantine, the primary purpose was political. Minimizing the religious differences would bring a more ‘united’ empire, a politically advantageous goal.
…“…Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?”
Matthew 12:25-26
