SORU:

What conclusion was reached at the Council of Nicaea (Iznik) arranged by Constantine himself?


CEVAP:

The issue under debate was the church attitude toward the views of a group, the Arians, followers of a priest from Alexandria named Arius (250- 336 CE) who emphasized the uniqueness of God the Father and maintained that Jesus had been a man like all other men, not a part of God himself. Opposed to that view was one which maintained that Jesus Christ had been simultaneously both human and divine. The Council of Nicaea attendees decided to opt for the latter view, ruling that God was coeternal and begotten from the same substance as God the Father. The Council adopted a creed and a series of anathemas, principally to repudiate Arianism.
