[QUOTE="Proselyte of Yah, post: 76667663, member: 443861"] It's a very interesting history for sure. And far less one-sided than people would think. The councils were very often split in half. The Arian controversy lasted for 60 years (after 325), and the church actually declared Arianism Orthodox several times, and excommunicated the Athanasians, but it would then swing back to the other direction back and forth, until Emperor Theodosius I came along and sealed the Trinity as a permanent teaching at the second Council of Nicea (381), and executed anyone who didn't agree. According to Richard Rubinstein's book "When Jesus became God", this was largely because he believed Arianism was the cause of Rome losing its wars (as he was persuaded to believe in the Trinity), and so he purged it and made it 100% illegal to adhere to, as opposed to it being a clean "theological agreement" voted on by the church majority.
