Constantine called the Council of Nicea—the first general council of the Christian church, 325 A.D.—primarily because he feared that disputes within the church would cause disorder within the empire. The dispute in mind was Arianism, which was the belief that Jesus was a created being. The famous phrase they were disputing was, "There was when He was not." This was in reference to Jesus and was declared heretical by the council and thus resulted in the following words about Christ in the Nicene Creed: "God from true God…from the Father…not made." It was determined by the council that Christ was homoousia, meaning, one substance with the Father.

The council that formed an undisputed decision on the canon took place at Carthage in 397, sixty years after Constantine's death. However, long before Constantine, 21 books were acknowledged by all Christians (the 4 Gospels, Acts, 13 Paul, 1 Peter, 1 John, Revelation). There were 10 disputed books (Hebrews, James, 2 Peter, 2-3 John, Jude, Ps-Barnabas, Hermas, Didache, Gospel of Hebrews) and several that most all considered heretical—Gospels of Peter, Thomas, Matthaias, Acts of Andrew, John, etc.

Well that is certainly interesting. It's not too often, that I even hear a theory on why we don't live as long as those from the beginning of creation. I do recall someone had a theory that the 40 years in the desert was the game changer.

Do you think it's possible the same temple in question, would have been where Melchizedek resided? Jacob saw the ladder there. It's probably a real stargate.

Excuse me, people have not always been civil to me no matter how much they claim they have been.
You yourself have been rude.

If the masses actually took the time to read the Bible they would rise in defiance against the tyrannical regime that establishes itself every so often.
