Where do religious councils get their names?

Religious councils typically get their names from the location where they are held or the focus of their discussions. For example, the Council of Nicaea gets its name from the city of Nicaea where it took place, and the Council of Trent is named after the city of Trent in Italy. Other councils may be named based on the specific issues or topics they are addressing.

When did the Holy Trinity become a religious belief?

A:Even at the end of the first century, Churches had not yet defined exactly what Christian doctrine was. The important doctrine of the Holy Trinity was formulated in the third century and adopted, only after considerable dissent, at the Council of Nicaea in the fourth century. Emperor Theodosius made belief in the Holy Trinity a requirement for all Christians in 381 CE. 1 John 5:7, known widely as the 'Johannine Comma', appeared in the Latin translation from the fifth century onwards, thereby providing indirect support for the Holy Trinity, with the words, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." This was never in the early Greek manuscripts.


What did arius believe?
