The bible, therefore, is not the word of god.
This was the unseemly bun fight which determined what should or should not be included in the bible, and was actually a fight for political control of the church.Constantine did not invite bishops who were opposed to his mastery of the church, and those bishops who risked travelling to the council were ambushed and murdered en route.Those who did make it to Nicaea were physically bullied into accepting his terms of reference, and his primacy over the church. The bible was cobbled together under these circumstances, which caused the rift between the Eastern Orthodox and Coptic Church on the one hand, and Roman Catholicism on the other.The bible, therefore, is not the word of god, but a representation of political ambition and greed, designed to support the aspirations of murderous criminals.
