Did the first Council of Nicaea limit or expand the interpretations of Christianity?

That answer depends on your point of view. For example, they limited Christianity by outlawing non-Nicaean forms such as Arianism and Docetism and Gnosticism. On the other hand it can be said that they expanded the number of Gods to be worshipped from one to three by making Jesus a God and adding God's spirit into a seperate being. The apostle Paul says, "there is one God and that is the father." But after Nicaea, there were three.
