From the letter of the Emperor (Constantine) to all those not
present at the council. (Found in Eusebius, Vita Const., Lib III
18-20)
When the question relative to the sacred festival of Easter arose,
it was universally thought that it would be convenient that all
should keep the feast on one day; for what could be more beautiful
and more desirable than to see this festival, through which we
receive the hope of immortality, celebrated by all with one accord
and in the same manner? It was declared to be particularly unworthy
for this, the holiest of festivals, to follow the customs (the
calculation) of the Jews who had soiled their hands with the most
fearful of crimes, and whose minds were blinded. In rejecting their
custom we may transmit to our descendants the legitimate mode of
celebrating Easter; which we have observed from the time of the
Saviours passion (according to the day of the week).
We ought not therefore to have anything in common with the Jew, for
the Saviour has shown us another way; our worship following a more
legitimate and more convenient course (the order of the days of the
week: And consequently in unanimously adopting this mode, we
desire, dearest brethren to separate ourselves from the detestable
company of the Jew. For it is truly shameful for us to hear them
boast that without their direction we could not keep this feast.
How can they be in the right, they who, after the death of the
Saviour, have no longer been led by reason but by wild violence, as
their delusion may urge them? They do not possess the truth in this
Easter question, for in their blindness and repugnance to all
improvements they frequently celebrate two Passovers in the same
year. We could not imitate those who are openly in error.
How, then, could we follow these Jews who are most certainly
blinded by error? For to celebrate a Passover twice in one year, is
totally inadmissible.
But even if this were not so it would still be your duty not to
tarnish your soul by communication with such wicked people (the
Jews). You should consider not only that the number of churches in
these provinces make a majority, but also that it is right to
demand what our reason approves, and that we should have nothing in
common with the Jews.

EXPOSING THE 21 LIES AND DOCTRINAL ERRORS
OF
THE FIRST COUNCIL OF NICEA OF 325
[1st Lie] When the question relative to the sacred festival of
Easter
The truth: sacred to pagan traditions, this is a pagan name derived
from the goddess Ishtar, Exodus 20:3, Hosea 2:17
arose, it was [2nd lie] universally
The truth: Everyone in the universe? Is Constantine the king of the
universe? Isaiah 14:3
thought that it would [3rd lie] be convenient
The truth: God does not call us to convenience but to obedience
John 15:10
that all should keep the feast on one day; for what could be more
beautiful and more desirable than to see this festival, through
which we receive the hope of immortality, celebrated by [4th lie]
all with one accord and in the same manner?
The truth: Without the Jews? John 17:21, unity between Jew and
Gentile brings the salvation of all mankind, Psalms 133,Isaiah
56
It was declared to be particularly [5th lie] unworthy
The truth: Yahvehs choice of dates is unworthy to Constantine as
he sets himself above Gods choosing of timings - Daniel 7:25,
Isaiah 14:13 - Lucifer
for this, the holiest of festivals to follow the customs (the
calculation) of the [6th lie] Jews
The truth: Which are the original and true calculations, Leviticus
23:1, Jeremiah 31:31-34
[7th lie] who had soiled their hands with the most fearful of
crimes, and whose minds were blinded
The truth: John 10:17,18- Yshua lays His own life down, John 3:16.
The accusation that the Jews killed Christ has been the incentive
for extermination of millions of Jews from that point onwards and
until this day, including the Holocaust.Matthew 7:17-20 - fruit of
this theology
[8th lie] In rejecting their custom The truth: which is Gods
custom according to His Word we may transmit to our descendants the
legitimate The truth: according to Constantine but not according to
the Word of God, Matthew 26:2, Leviticus 23:1-4, Genesis 1:14,John
20:1-9, Matthew 12:39 mode of celebrating Easter which we have
observed The truth: pagan name and feast not mentioned in the Holy
Scriptures.
[9th lie] We ought not therefore to have anything in common with
the Jew, for the Saviour has shown us another way
The truth: Yshua is Jewish, so if nothing is in common with the
Jews, nothing is in common with the Messiah, Matthew 1,John 19;19,
Luke 1:59, Luke 2:21
[10th lie] our worship following a more legitimate and more
convenient course, the order of the days of the week
The truth: Constantine legitimises his own ideas in order to gain
political power and control and he attempts to dethrone the Word of
God on this subject - setting himself and his opinions above YAH
and His unchanging Word
[11th lie] And consequently in unanimously
The truth: without the Jews from which salvation comes! John
4:22
[12th lie] adopting this mode, we desire, dearest brethren to
separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jew For it is
truly shameful for us to hear them boast that without their
direction we could not keep this feast. How can they be in the
right, they who, after the death of the Saviour.
The truth: Romans 11:15-20 warns the Gentiles not to be arrogant
against the Jews or Gentiles will be cut of the Olive Tree!
[13th lie] have no longer been led by reason
The truth: True sons of God are not led by reason or Greek
Philosophy but by the Spirit of God. Since Constantine and the
Council of Nicea, the Church in its vast majority has been led by
reason and by theologians instead of by powerful apostles, Romans
8:14, Ephesians 2:20 - these are all Jewish
[14th lie] but by wild violence, as their delusion may urge
them
The truth: What wild violence is he talking about? Unsupported
accusation used many times to incite the masses against the Jews
like in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion?
They do not possess the truth in this Easter question, for in their
blindness and [15th lie] repugnance to all improvements
The truth: traditions of demons and men that make null and void the
Word of God, Matthew 15:3,4, Mark 7:13
they frequently celebrate two Passovers in the same year . We could
not imitate those who are openly in error [16th lie] How, then,
could we follow these Jews who are most certainly blinded by
error?
The truth: Is following the Biblical customs error? Who is really
blinded here? Gentiles are supposed to be Grafted Into Israels
Olive Tree and not vice versa! Romans 11:15-20
[17th lie] For to celebrate a Passover twice in one year is totally
inadmissible.
The truth: 2 Chronicles 30:1-3, it is totally scriptural
[18th lie] But even if this were not so it would still be your duty
not to tarnish your soul by communication with such wicked people
(the Jews).
The truth: In other words Constantine's purpose is to separate from
the Jews and the Torah no matter what! Why? 1 John 4:1-3 states
that the spirit of anti Messiah, in operation through Constantine,
removes the identity of Messiah as a Jew, and sets himself above
God and His word and His sovereign choice of choosing the Jews to
bring salvation
[19th lie] You should consider not only that the number of churches
in these provinces make a majority
The truth: God has never worked with majorities but with
obedience. Trusting in the arm of the flesh or the opinions of men
brings about a curse! Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Jeremiah 17:5, Judges
7:2-8, 1 Samuel 14:6
[20th lie] but also that it is right to demand what our reason
approves
The truth: human reasoning 1 Corinthians 1:27,, Isaiah 29:14b,
James 1
[21st lie] and that we should have nothing in common with the
Jews.
The truth: or with the Jewish Messiah or His salvation - John 4:22,
Romans 11:15-20. He set the Gentile part of the Church onto a path
of self destruction, remaining a wild olive instead of being
grafted into the cultivated Olive Tree - which is Israel - because
of arrogance, removing the foundations of the Jewish apostles and
prophets, Psalms 11:3, Ephesians 2:20, Revelation 21:14
PRAYER OF RENOUNCING AND REVOCATION
OF
THE FIRST COUNCIL OF NICEA OF 325
Please pray and sign at the end
Before the Almighty God of Israel I stand and hereby renounce the
First Council of Nicea as led by Constantine. I renounce its
foundation and all the anti Jewish fruit that came out of it. I
renounce every doctrinal error and every lie in it including
Replacement Theology in all of its aspects.
I hereby affirm my faith in Yahveh the God of Israel, who is the
Creator of the Universe and my Father through the atoning death of
His Holy Son Yshua, who is both the promised Jewish Messiah, and
God in the flesh. I hereby affirm my faith in the resurrection of
Yshua the Messiah and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit of God
from the Day of Shavuot (Pentecost) and onwards, to all that repent
and believe in the Son. I hereby affirm my belief that I am grafted
into the Olive Tree that represents Israel, and together with the
believing Jewish people I will inherit eternal life. I hereby
affirm that the God of Israel will never forsake His People,
neither will He forget His covenant with the Jews or with the
Ecclesia (Called out Ones - Church).
I thank you Holy Father for removing all the curses that have come
into my life and into my nation due to our belief in the tenets of
faith stated in the Council of Nicea, concerning the Jews and the
Jewish foundations of the Faith. I beg you and thank you for
pouring out your great mercy and forgiveness over myself, my family
and my nation. I hereby commit myself to walk in Truth as You
reveal it to me and in love with all my fellow men and especially
my (and the Churchs) spiritual parents, the Jewish people
according to Genesis 12:1-3.
