Replying to 772f9545...

As far as we know, Y'shua/Joshua/Jesus never wrote a book himself. So everything we know about him is from others.

The question then becomes which sources are trustworthy and which sources are untrustworthy.

It seems every time an older fragment of a book of the New Testament is found, it confirms the existing New Testament that we already have, strengthening it.

The versions of the Bible do vary somewhat, yes. And sometimes this or that version will say something about the translator's view. But the texts are remarkably consistent.

If we apply the attacks against the New Testament of "changed" or "written later" or "of dubious origin" to any other text, we might conclude that we can't know anything about history at all, because all the other texts are more changed, written more later, or of more dubious origin.

For example, look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Plymouth_Plantation

"the most authoritative account of the Pilgrims"

⭕ Nicaea Council of 325 A.D

🔴 What Was It All About? - How Did It Change Christianity?

🔵 Read what the Catholic Church Says About Itself

🔴 The year was 325 A.D. according to the Roman calendar. A council was convened by order of Constantine, the Roman emperor. He had been a leader in the cult known as Sol Invictus (Invincible Sun) and now wanted to unite the Christian sects in the empire under his existing church; the Universal Church of Rome. Many changes to the religion of Christianity were about to take place at that council, including:

🔻 Formulation for wording concerning the Trinity based on Anthanias (description of the formulation is mentioned below)

🔻 Changing Verses of Bible

🔻 Eliminating certain verses and books from the Bible

🔻 Declaring Arian's "unitarian" (belief in the Unity of God) as heresy

🔻 Changing the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday

🔻 Changing the date of Jesus' birthday to December 25th

🔻 Introduction of Easter (pagan worship called "Feast of Ishtar")

🔻 Church of Roman "officially" became the "Universal Church of the Holy Roman Empire" (the word 'Catholic' means 'universal'

🔴 The Roman Catholic Church took on a new face.

What follows is a quote from the Roman Catholic Church. It is their explanation behind the many changes occurring during the Nicaea Council.
