From time to time, it's important to look back on the history of The Church. This is the first in a series.

This thread, and future ones, are open to all Christians for discussion! This the history of YOUR Church.

Its really nice to have statements of authority by eminent bishops.

Too bad the bishops are testifying about things where there is no physical evidence, and where there can be no physical evidence.

Over the last few weeks, Mormonism Apologists at FR have been contending that the council was not of God since Apostolic Authority ended or was suspended on Earth with the death of the last apostle of Christ, dircetly, and that the Authority had to be re-established with Joseph Smith and successive ‘prophets’ of the Mormonism doctirnes. In that regard, thank you for posting this thread addressing the First Council of Nicaea under Constantine.

Great Post, gotta love Church history. Wrote my History Thesis on the role of the Roman Catholic Priest in Elizabethan England. I considered posting a chapter or two of it here, but decided against it, too boring, lol.

No it is not the history of my church It is the history of the great falling away of the Church of Christ. If the author wanted to start with the counsel of the church of Christ. instead of the catholic church he would have started with the counsel of Jerusalem.

could it be the in his heart he knows the diffrance?
