instead of making the same mistake that many make stop and think a bit the church councils were not about making up anything what happened was that the church always believed the bible and never questioned it when some misguided fool would start to preach a false doctrine that went against the bible then the church simply said hay look the bible says this and if you reject what the bible says then you cannot be a christian there were no conspiracies or dark room meeting why didn't the church have a set cannon until about the ads because there were no fake writings until the gnostic gospels were written and some were fooled by them so the church was forced to make a list of the real bible verse the gnostic ones why did the church have to speak about the deity of jesus because the gnostic cults began to make up false writings and so the church simple said john said jesus was god believe it or get out the same thing is happening today why is there so much talk about homosexuality in the church today simple there was no need to speak of it until the homosexual community started to twist the bible and now the church is forced to say hay this is what the bible says it happened in the regarding slavery and i'm sure it will happen in the furture when some other group comes along and tries to add to the bible
