Heresies are not just against what the Bible teaches, but what the Church teaches also. Who were the heretics in Christ's day? The Pharisees and Sadduccees and scirbe, correct? Who corrected them? Christ, correct? That is itself a heresy.
Scripture is the final authority, not any church, or creed or tradition.
Who corrected them-Christ did.
And He always used the words of scripture to do so and rebuked them for not knowing or obeying the written word of God.

It appears that we will have to agree to disagree on this. All the tenets of the Nicene Creed are there because the Catholic Church defined it. Of course, it was based on Scripture, but they were counteracting heretics at that time and it all needed to be defined.
Is that so difficult to understand? Or am I being dense here?
