No, he was made one with God. The false doctrine of the trinity was made up then. Remember, the Nicene council's made purpose was to try and unite the people. That is why they allowed pagans to have their crosses and others to make Jesus/God/Holy spirit 'one'. To make him look more divine. The Bible clearly states that they are one in purpose, but 3 separate beings completely.

What the council of Nicea says doesn't change what's real. They could have voted Him to be Santa Claus, but that wouldn't make it so. They could have said Jesus was not God, but that would not make it untrue.

The Council of Nicea simply recognized that Jesus is God. He already was.

Jesus was accepted by many as the "son" of God. (He was God incarnate - he was deity - and that is what they said in the council times and the way we say things has changed along with public opinion)
At the Council of Nicea - they decided (because of growing false docrtines) what was really supposed to be in the Bible - pointing out which writtings were fakes (these have now been found and are being used to bring a new type of christianity around, even though a council already found they were fakes)
and they decided that - because of the fake doctrines saying otherwise, they needed to-
that the message of the Gospels and the NT was that Jesus was God

Understand, false doctrines were circulating and the whole point of christianity was being debated, the council met to squelch those debates and decide which writters were fakes.

That one again? Belief in Christ's divinity goes all the way back to New Testament times; it was not dreamt up at Nicea. Have any of the people who come out with that ever actually read the New Testament? They could start with the Gospel of John, and note how many times the I AM formula of the OT is alluded to. Sometimes without a predicate, so that it is literally Ego Eimi (I AM).

Not to mention the numerous occasions when people are described actually worshiping the flesh and blood Jesus.

As the Eternal Word of God ,Jesus always was and will be the Son of God or God the Son,equal in diety to the Father and holy Spirit.
Nicea recognized what was always taught by Christians and did not invent the Diety of Christ.

I think they voted not on whether he was the Son of God, but whether the Son was of the same substance as the Father, co-eternal with him. The Arians believed that they were different and that the Son, though he may be the most perfect of creations, was only a creation.

No! where did you get that nonsense from?
St. Peter himself called Jesus 'the Son of the Living God', in the Gospels. So this was the belief of Christians from the very start of Christianity.
