So, do you also believe the works of the Jewish historian Josephus to be fiction as well?
|
Corrupted and disputed - fictionalized components mixed with biased observation and editing as with other writings of discussion in this thread.

OK, since we're going to ignore Josephus, what exactly did the council of Nicea get wrong?
|
I don't understand the question - are you referring to their majority (but not all) agreement upon an acceptable corporate mission statement to present to their franchisees or the exile of those who disagreed with the majority or their handbook of standing operating procedures (Canon) or the agreement upon when to standardize their Easter celebrations or the decision related to the Meletian schism?
Since your question infers a belief the Council got nothing wrong - do you agree with Canon 3 of the Council's SOP?
Canon 3: All members of the clergy are forbidden to dwell with any woman, except a mother, sister, or aunt.
Richard
