In 325 AD bishops from the known Christian world gathered at Nice because of a council convened by Emperor Constantine. The topic of the divinity of Jesus was discussed and Arius was against the idea that Jesus was God. Both sides of the argument had copies of the scriptures at there disposal. These copies were older than anything we have today. What we do have today came after Nicea . The adherents to the trinity could not overcome the arguments of Arius because the scriptures used confirmed what Arius said. The council understood this well but still declared that Jesus was God. When you consider that the Catholic Church has changed the Ten Commandments, the Sabbath, worships dead people, has a Pope claiming to be infallible and has elevated Mary to the status of a God; it would not be unreasonable to think it would alter scripture to support the doctrine that they established at Nicea. Today scripture contains many verses that are used to “prove” the trinity. If these scriptures were present at Nicea Arius would have clearly lost his argument. I submit that these verses were altered and never appeared in the scriptures used at the council. Unitarians should know about these changes but apparently not all of them. The scriptures we have today came to us through the hands of a corrupt church of pagans. When Paul preached in Rome he preached to pagans and a few did hear by the Holy Spirit his words, but larger numbers of pagans combined paganism with Paul’s message and thus reasoned out things with a carnal mind. The result became the Catholic Church. All other churches afterwards that came out of Catholicism were to varying degrees false churches as well. The Catholic Church is the elder daughter of the harlot Jerusalem. All other churches are Romes sisters. Prophecy tells us plainly that near the end the world is deceived. Most people on Simply Christian seem to have came out of the Jehovahs Witnesses but it doesn’t matter what you came out of it is all still a lie. A good tree cannot bear evil fruit nor can an evil tree bear good fruit. God did not plant the Catholic Church or any of her sisters and their mother will drink a double portion of Gods wrath.
