“There was no controversy about the Eucharist when the Nicene Creed was written in the fourth century!

True. Despite never being practiced by Apostles


If the Apostles never practiced by the Celebration of the Eucharist, where did the churches come up with the idea?

There were over 200 representatives at the Council. They represented churches from throughout the Christian world. The Eastern bishops formed the great majority of representatives. These included, among others; Alexander of Alexandria, Eustathius of Antioch, Macarius of Jerusalem, Paphnutius of Thebes, Potamon of Heraclea, Paul of Neocaesarea, Eusebius of Nicomedia, Eusebius of Caesarea, Aristakes of Armenia, Leontius of Caesarea, Jacob of Nisibis, Hypatius of Gangra, Protogenes of Sardica, Melitius of Sebastopolis, Achilleus of Larissa, and Spyridion of Trimythous. The Latin-speaking provinces sent at least five representatives: Marcus of Calabria from Italia, Cecilian of Carthage from Africa, Hosius of Córdoba from Hispania, Nicasius of Die from Gaul, and Domnus of Stridon from the province of the Danube.

There is no record that there was any disagreement among these churches on the Eucharist. Is it plausible that all of these churches would separately come up with the same false teaching? Or is it more likely that this teaching was passed on from Jesus through the Apostles by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit?

Syncretic paganism began creeping into the church soon after the Apostles. It has continued to this day. By the Nivea council, much error was present that was not biblical.
