I have a fair amount of respect for the Catholic church, I appreciate the good they have done and the scriptures they have preserved. However I don't understand why they think they are the first and original true Christian church. Wasn't it Constantine 325 yrs after the death of Christ (and all the apostles) that the Nicaean creed was writen in an attempt to legitamize Christianity? A LOT can be warped in 300 years. Who gave them the authority in the first place? Constantine had power but that doesn't make his ideas any more right than other Christians of the day. Remember how Paul admonished the churches to stay on track and how far they strayed in so short a time. After the death of the apostles and 325 years of apostacy what makes people think the council could put truth back together? Faith has to be based on truth doesn't it?
