Questions Asked as the Early Church

Determined Which Books to Use

• Was it written by an Apostle or someone in direct

contact with an Apostle? …during the Apostolic era?

– The church automatically rejected any book

written under a pseudonym (assumed name).

• Is the book consistent with the teachings of the

Apostles?

• Is the book Christ-centered?

• Had the book already received wide acceptance in

the church?

• Does the book bear the marks of spiritual power?

others were written more than 100 years after Jesus.

• Teachings in these differ from what we know

letters

• Not the subject of commentaries

Things That

Did

Happen at

the Council of Nicaea

• Constantine did call the meeting of

church leaders at Nicaea in 325

• Constantine had make a profession

of faith, that seems somewhat

dubious

• Constantine did plea for peace &

harmony in the church

• Over the years, Constantine changed

sides in the controversy discussed at

Nicaea

(24)

The Issue at Nicaea

• The Heresy of Arius

– Jesus was more than a man, but less

than God

– Jesus existed before the rest of creation,

but Jesus did not share eternal preexistence with the Father

 “There was a time when he was not” – Jesus is inferior to the Father in time,

essence, and power

• Those who believed the historic teachings

of the church wanted to correct this false teaching

– “There was not a time when he was not”

(25)

The Creed of Nicaea

We believe in… one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of

God, the only-begotten begotten from the

Father, that is from the substance of the Father,

God from God, light from light, true God from

true God, begotten not made, consubstantial

with the Father

, through whom all things came

to be, both those in heaven and those in earth

…And those who say ‘there once was when he

was not,’ and ‘before he was begotten he was

not,’ and that he came to be from things that

were not, or from another hypostasis or

substance, affirming that the Son of God is

subject to change or alteration—these the

(26)

Things That

Didn

’

t

Happen

at the Council of Nicaea

• Did not involve the discussion of which Gospels to

include in the New Testament.

• Constantine did not manipulate the results

– The church leaders had suffered persecution

before (some had scars; one had been blinded), they would not be bullied now

• Did not propose a new teaching about Jesus. The

Creed of Nicaea was a refinement of the Baptismal confession from the church in Jerusalem

• Constantine did not “upgrade Jesus’ status” or

embellish the Gospels

• Did not involve a question as to whether Jesus is

a mere man or the “Son of God”— but exactly what it means to say Jesus is the “Son of God.”_>

Gospels Among the Dead Sea Scrolls?

“Because Constantine commissioned and financed a new Bible, which omitted those gospels that spoke of Christ’s human traits, and embellished those gospels that made him godlike. The earlier gospels were

outlawed, gathered up, and burned…

Fortunately for historians,” Teabing said,

“some of the Gospels that Constantine tried to eradicate managed to survive. The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in the 1950’s, hidden in a cave near Qumran in the Judean

desert.”
