Can I get some of your thoughts on the selection process at the Nicean Council?

Thanks...

My thoughts: There was no process.

The Council of Nicea had nothing to do with the Bible. That is a common myth. There was no "selection process" of Bible books at Nicea. As far as I know the subject of Bible books was never mentioned during the council. It Bible books were certainly not discussed extensively or decided upon.

I had a good (and short) disscussion on the subject recently here (http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50946)
