Here are the doctrines from the
**Council of Nicaea (325 AD):**.
Which do you reject?
1. **The Nicene Creed**:
The council formulated the Nicene Creed, affirming the **Trinitarian understanding of God**. It declared Jesus Christ as “begotten, not made, being of one substance (homoousios) with the Father,” solidifying His divinity and equality with the Father.
2. **The Divinity of Christ**:
The council condemned **Arianism**, the belief that Jesus Christ was a created being and not divine. It upheld that Christ is eternal and of the same essence as the Father.
3. **Christ’s Eternal Generation**:
The council affirmed the doctrine that the Son is eternally begotten of the Father, meaning there was never a time when the Son did not exist. This reinforced the idea of the Son’s co-eternality with the Father.
4. **Holy Spirit’s Role**:
While the council primarily focused on Christology, it implicitly acknowledged the Holy Spirit’s role in the Trinity, paving the way for further Trinitarian development at later councils.
5. **The Date of Easter**:
The council standardized the celebration of **Easter**. It was decided that Easter would be celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, separating it from the Jewish Passover calendar.
6. **Condemnation of Heresies**:
In addition to Arianism, the council rejected other heresies that questioned the nature of Christ and the Trinity. This set a precedent for defining orthodoxy and labeling deviations as heretical.
This updated list provides a more comprehensive view of the council’s significant outcomes.
You provided the answer for me...
...the council’s significant outcomes.
In other words their Creed is insignificant as to what happened after that.

Hint - it wasn't about "setting up the Church" as that had already happened nearly 200 years earlier
