Heresy of the Church, Council of Nicaea by Labbayk Ahmed  In today's world, the majority of the Christians believe in The Trinity; The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. According to this doctrine, God exists as three persons but is one God, meaning that God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, have exactly the same nature or being as God the Father in every way. However, if we go through the simplest of calculations, we would find that “Three” never equals “One” and Jesus Christ never said he is an Absolute God. So from where did the belief in The Trinity start? The Emperor Constantine the First is the one who attended the opening of the council of Nicea which started its first meeting on 25th of May 325. The council had a meeting on behalf of the orders from the Emperor Constantine the First, to study the differences in the church of Alexandria between Arius and his followers, and between Alexandros the First (the Pope of Alexandria) and his followers from another side about “the nature of Jesus, is it the same as the nature of God or the nature of humans.” 32
