In today's courts, the prosecutor and defense lawyer look at what they think is "evidence". They both have to collect that "evidence" which is what I was talking about by "compile".
The writings prior to that Council where what they were arguing. What won out was the vote based on what the council compiled.
Most probably they were looking at the Gospels and the Pauline epistles, but that’s beside the point. You made the claim that the Nicene Council codified what we think of as the Bible, which claim (as Boda ably pointed out) is patently false.
You can try to weasel your way out of this all you like, but wouldn’t it just be easier to admit you made a mistake?
