    And it was translated by a few monks in the 7th century CE, meaning that the English form is a translators’ impression of the original New Testament texts. I’m saying I respect the original faiths a lot more than any variant. Of course, every monotheistic religion is awful. Good people side with warmongers under the names of their god: Allah, Yahweh and… God.

    The Council of Nicea didn’t establish the books of the bible.

    I think it established the Trinity or laid the groundwork for it.

      Technically the Trinity was already established and was even the majority view. It just wasn’t the universal view. The Council of Nicaea was about enshrining it as the official doctrine.

      Diet of Worms assembled the bible from available sources, IIRC. Forget where apocrypha and Catholic/Protestant diverge.
