It is only by God’s Grace that there is so much unity among Christians. Imagine where we’d be without the Nicene Creed. Back in the year 300 with people insisting that Jesus was a spirit and that he only had the appearance of a man. Or that he was created or not eternal.

and here is the “anathema” that was in the original of 325 AD:
[But those who say: ‘There was a time when he was not;’ and ‘He was not before he was made;’ and ‘He was made out of nothing,’ or ‘He is of another substance’ or ‘essence,’ or ‘The Son of God is created,’ or ‘changeable,’ or ‘alterable’—they are condemned by the holy catholic and apostolic Church.]

If it is forged, we are toast.
