What Really Happened at Nicea?

Here is a great article from Dr. James White that explains what happened at the Council of Nicea.  So many people erroneously conclude that the council met to set the canon - what books would be included or excluded from the Bible. This is not what the members talked about. We actually know a lot about what was discussed there and who attended. Read the article.

Beggars All: Reformation And Apologetics: The Council of Nicaea – Pictures and Images can be Deceiving

One of the most often repeated objections that I have received against the Bible is the charge that Christianity as we know it was finalized at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD under auspices of the Roman Emperor Constantine. I have found a great article about why many of these idea are outright lies or misunderstandings. Here is a quote from the article. 

What do many liberals/skeptics/agnostics/atheists (like Dan Brown of The DaVinci Code book and movie fame) , Muslims, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and many other people have in common as a mis-perception of Christianity? Sometimes it is just misunderstandings, but sometimes there is deliberate deception and outright lying about what happened at Nicaea. If told often enough, the mis-understanding gets embedding in people's thinking.

You can read this article and gain a great deal of information. It even include some links to some other good articles on this subject by Dr James White and Dr John Piper.

Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: Glenn Beck and the Dead Sea Scrolls

Dr Mariottini has written a brilliant post exposing recent comments that Glenn Beck have made on National Television about the Dead Sea Scrolls. I'm amazed that this is even necessary because these are the most common mistakes made concerning the Dead Sea Scrolls  and I know that the real information is readily available. There is no excuse. I hope Beck apologizes in public but I'm not holding my breath. Take a look at this great post it summarizes the facts very well.  A brilliant resource!
