The U.S. Constitution as well as the Catholic Church were both born from councils held by politicians. The similarities don't stop there.
When the United States was a small, fledgling nation, the founding fathers convened the Constitutional Convention. This was where they debated for days about what was important in a country. How they could take the good laws from England, and do away with the bad laws. They knew the seriousness of this, and very heated debates were a daily occurrence.Out of these debates and arguments and near fistfights, the American Constitution was born. A constitution that to this very day is the backbone of all of the Laws of the United States of America, the greatest Military Power that the world has ever seen. The Supreme Court has the final word on how this incredibly important historical document is interpreted. The constitution has stood for over two hundred years as a source of America's direction. Many believe that never before in history has a group of men drafted a document with such far-reaching power and authority.
However, there is one other case in history where a group of men got together to draft a document that would have far reaching implications. Where men with political and personal interests would argue, debate and finally agree on a list of rules to apply to a certain group.The list of rules, and the group in question both exist to today, and predate the United States by almost two thousand years.
The group of men convened in 325 AD in what is now Turkey, and this and subsequent councils produce the Nicene Creed, which is recited by billions of Catholics around the world every Sunday.
The council was called by Constantine, the Emperor of Rome. After having given Christianity the blessing of the Roman Government, Constantine wanted to formulate a consistent doctrine that would apply to all Christians.
At this convention of around 400 Bishops, among the things debated, discussed, voted on and agreed upon was the very nature of Jesus Himself. Was he God? Was He man? The rules, regulations, and doctrines of the Catholic Church today, that has indelibly influenced the course of Western Civilization has its roots in this council nearly two thousand years ago.
