It isn't, it's the VERY errant words of human beings, written in Hebrew/Greek, the original manuscripts, or even the copies, of copies of which we've never seen. Taking a book written 2000 odd years ago as the "inerrant," word of God, that's what. Truth lovers should follow this link for a full text of what the Council of Nicaea covered: (scroll to text) Īlso, Constantine STOPPED murderous religious persecution with the Edict of Milan, which states: "Our purpose is to grant both to the Christians and to all others full authority to follow whatever worship each person has desired."Įhrman should have referenced his resources to prove that most ancient texts were seriously corrupt, and, if this applied to the Bible, he should have answered the hundreds of reasons why we Christians believe that the things he assumes were added hundreds of years later were actually additions by the apostles themselves. Rather the Council created the Nicaean Creed and twenty Canons, which were rules about church administration. The First Council of Nicaea, in which Constantine minimally participated, never addressed the NT Canon. Ok, I get that he used a few primary resources, but he should never have palled-up with Dan Brown's claim that Constantine had anything to do with forming the New Testament Canon.
