The most disturbing image I saw in my life

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

It's important to remember that a pronouncement by a biased person serving an agenda can still be true. If - for the purpose of argument - we take it as read that Jesus of Nazareth with an historic personage, the Council was perfectly correct in saying that he was 'begotten'.

The council agreed that Jesus is "begotten out of the essence of God":

1. While Arius argued that Jesus Christ was created out of nothing or out of something else, the council affirmed that he was begotten out of the substance (essence) of the Father.

BTW this is the base difference and rivalry between Islam & Constantine's Christianity: 

Islam = Jesus was created from human essence just like any other human.
Constantine Christianity= Jesus is a God-like with the essence of God flowing in his veins. Jesus = God, thus Jesus = the father; thus trinity.

That council was nothing but a heathen opinion of a heathen emperor -Constantine- that protected this blasphemy with Roman Centurions.

Since the Council predates Islam, the blasphemy (at least as regards the begetting of Jesus) goes the other way: The Quran is nothing but the heathen opinion of a heathen warlord - Muhammad - that protected this blasphemy with soldier fanatics.
