I just speed-read wiki diagonally

Attendees
Constantine had invited all 1,800 bishops of the Christian church (about 1,000 in the east and 800 in the west),

and didn't bother with
but a smaller and unknown number attended. Eusebius of Caesarea counted more than 250,[18] Athanasius of Alexandria counted 318,[9] and Eustathius of Antioch estimated "about 270"[19] (all three were present at the council). Later, Socrates Scholasticus recorded more than 300,[20] and Evagrius,[21] Hilary of Poitiers,[22] Jerome,[23] Dionysius Exiguus,[24] and Rufinus[25] recorded 318. This number 318 is preserved in the liturgies of the Eastern Orthodox Church[26] and the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria.


Congrats, you just won one internet point.

Redeemable at any well stocked Church near you.

Great Cartoon about Islam and peace Gothmog Nov 2015 #1
You just offended some people with your cartoon Yorktown Nov 2015 #2
Yeah, I've got another easily-offended snowflake stalking me in another thread. cleanhippie Nov 2015 #3
It's touching how some really, really want to think religion is good Yorktown Nov 2015 #4
Seems more like deep-seeded hatred and anger to me. cleanhippie Nov 2015 #5
So what is your position on lying does it show good moral character? Leontius Nov 2015 #6
I remember you were quite shifty about Nicaea I, playing loose with words Yorktown Nov 2015 #7
Everything I said about the Council is historical fact. Leontius Nov 2015 #8
We must disagree. Over and out. Yorktown Nov 2015 #9
Not over, but he's out cleanhippie Nov 2015 #11
Unlike religious types who love to do it on me, I did not report Yorktown Nov 2015 #12
It's mere projection and nothing more. cleanhippie Nov 2015 #13
I give you the link you to that discussion on Nicaea 1 if I had had it Yorktown Nov 2015 #14
There is no record of the Council discussing Biblical canon. Leontius Nov 2015 #15
St Jerome says Nicaea 1 decide the gospel of Judith was canonical Yorktown Nov 2015 #16
Hmm. Probably not, since Judith is not a gospel but an earlier Judaic text struggle4progress Nov 2015 #17
Hmm. Probably yes, since you are discussing canonic text Yorktown Nov 2015 #18
Also not canonical but only deutero-canonical in Judaism struggle4progress Nov 2015 #19
Do you really believe Nicaea 1 was trying to decide the canon of Judaism? Yorktown Nov 2015 #20
Nope. I believe you're trawling for reactions, posting struggle4progress Nov 2015 #26
I may be prejudiced but Leontius Nov 2015 #33
I'm afraid I've done my share of stupid in my life, struggle4progress Nov 2015 #35
No it's my word and every Church historian that has written on the Council with one know exception. Leontius Nov 2015 #21
I already told you why you are probably wrong Yorktown Nov 2015 #22
Wrong on the delagate number by a factor of 6 is quite an error Leontius Nov 2015 #25
I speed-read wiki diagonally; it doesn't help you make any valid point Yorktown Nov 2015 #27
I guess you missed section 12.1 Biblical canon Leontius Nov 2015 #28
I guess you missed my answer #22 to which I already directed you Yorktown Nov 2015 #29
Section 12.1 directly contradicts everything you have asserted about Nicaea and Biblical Canon. Leontius Nov 2015 #30
You're wrong on two counts Yorktown Nov 2015 #31
Sure doesn't address it at all Leontius Nov 2015 #32
The point you are referring to explicitly says I am right Yorktown Nov 2015 #34
"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strengh" Leontius Nov 2015 #36
Have you heard the description "Two bald men fighting over a comb"? mr blur Nov 2015 #37
Do know anything about the issue? Leontius Nov 2015 #38
He left out "compulsive" in an attempt to be nice. cleanhippie Nov 2015 #39
Am I the second 'bald man'? Yorktown Nov 2015 #40
It is also possible Jerome confused what occured at Nicaea with Leontius Nov 2015 #23
See my post #22 Yorktown Nov 2015 #24
No. In fact I think they should be silenced from further debate. cleanhippie Nov 2015 #10
