By the way, the Trinity is not explicitly stated in the Bible. It’s not even moderately spelled out. Do you reject the doctrine of the Trinity? It was defined by a CATHOLIC Church council, in 325 A.D., called by a pope. It’s not in the Bible.


Seems pretty clear to me

1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

So when did they make Emperor Constantine who called the council a Pope ?

It's nice that it's clear to you, Lera. But there were a lot of people to whom it was NOT clear. Then as now there were Arians. Then as now they had a lot of the same texts. Then as now they said the texts said something different from what you say they say.

I was taught that Constantine convened the council. FWIW.
