Poll for Protestants: Do you accept or reject the First Council of Nicaea?

Answer 1

Funny this Christians do not even know what the First council of Nicea is. It shows you how educated they are.(SARCASM)
LMAO.

Answer 2

I accept the teaching of the First Council of Nicaea on Christ

Pastor John

Answer 3

I used to be in the Christian church(disciples of Christ) and they split from presbyterianism in the 1800's because they determined that creeds (nicene included) were un biblical. My only question was, who determines they are unbiblical? On who's authority do they make that Judgement? and is that persons judgement infallible?

if the last answer is no! then I guess no body really knows the whole truth of christ and anyone can pick up a bible and preach(oh wait a minute that is already happening today)

Answer 4

Of all the Acts of this Council, which, it has been maintained, were numerous, only three fragments have reached us:

the creed, or symbol (NICENE CREED)

the canons;

the synodal decree.

In reality there never were any official acts besides these.

There has long existed a dispute as to the number of the canons of First Nicaea. All the collections of canons, whether in Latin or Greek, composed in the fourth and fifth centuries agree in attributing to this Council only the twenty canons, which we possess today. Of these the following is a brief résumé:



Canon 1: On the admission, or support, or expulsion of clerics mutilated by choice or by violence.
Canon 2: Rules to be observed for ordination, the avoidance of undue haste, the deposition of those guilty of a grave fault.
Canon 3: All members of the clergy are forbidden to dwell with any woman, except a mother, sister, or aunt.
Canon 4: Concerning episcopal elections.
Canon 5: Concerning the excommunicate.
Canon 6: Concerning patriarchs and their jurisdiction.
Canon 7: confirms the right of the bishops of Jerusalem to enjoy certain honours.
Canon 8: concerns the Novatians.
Canon 9: Certain sins known after ordination involve invalidation.
Canon 10: Lapsi who have been ordained knowingly or surreptitiously must be excluded as soon as their irregularity is known.
Canon 11: Penance to be imposed on apostates of the persecution of Licinius.
Canon 12: Penance to be imposed on those who upheld Licinius in his war on the Christians.
Canon 13: Indulgence to be granted to excommunicated persons in danger of death.
Canon 14: Penance to be imposed on catechumens who had weakened under persecution.
Canon 15: Bishops, priests, and deacons are not to pass from one church to another.
Canon 16: All clerics are forbidden to leave their church. Formal prohibition for bishops to ordain for their diocese a cleric belonging to another diocese.
Canon 17: Clerics are forbidden to lend at interest.
Canon 18: recalls to deacons their subordinate position with regard to priests.
Canon 19: Rules to be observed with regard to adherents of Paul of Samosata who wished to return to the Church.
Canon 20: On Sundays and during the Paschal season prayers should be said standing.

Answer 5

If they say yes they have already begun to accept the authority of Catholic Tradition and Church.
If they say no then they are not "real Protestant" since the Reformers all accepted Nicea (apart from Socinians) no matter how sola scripturist they may profess to be.

Traditional Catholics' Motto

We are what you once were.
We believe what you once believed.
We worship as you once worshipped.
If you were right then, we are right now.
If we are wrong now, you were wrong then.

Not a Protestant....but if any say "no" then they are not Protestant...they are "something else" and not even in a category that could be labeled as "Christian".
