Council of Nicae 325 AD At the insistence of the Roman emperor, Constantine, and for the purpose of establishing unity between Christianity and Pagan beliefs, Jesus was declared to be coequal, co-eternal, and con-substantial with God. Constantine made Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire.
Before Constantin's rule the Christians suffered much persecution at the hands of Rome. Of two thousand and forty eight (2048) bishops were invited to the council, the pagan emperor who converted to Christianity for political reason disqualified 1730 from having voice in deciding questions. Although the emperor did not decide the creed, he in fact influenced it indirectly by deciding who is to decide on the creed. The result is the Nicene Creed which is an anathema to Unitarian belief championed by Arius. After a long debate, a vote was finally taken and it was with a majority show of hands ( 1161 votes for and 157 votes against).

On Jesus's return he will tell his people (worshippers)

Matthew Chapter 7:22-23
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."


"O People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs." [Qur'an 4:171]
