Actually, the symbol of the Council of Nicaea did not address the status of the Holy Spirit (which is but another name for God). The creed (or symbol) of Nicaea was modified in 381 CE at the Council of Constantinople to raise the Holy Spirit as an entity to the same level (or of the same substance) as God and Jesus Christ. Historically, the three in one doctrine is an adoption of the pagan beliefs. If honestly considered, the basic problem in all of this is that there is no other instruction in scripture which is contrary to the instruction of "You must believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." In other words, there is not one passage in The Bible that says anything close to, "You must believe that Jesus Christ is ___" (something else).

No! It wasn't made up at all. In the book of Genesis with the towel of Babel it says "come let us go down their and confuse their language...."
It appears likely that the Gnostic leader, Valentinus, was the first to formulate the concept of the Holy Trinity. His work, On the Three Natures, is mentioned by Marcellus of Ancryra, who said that the now-lost work discussed the Father, Son and Holy Ghost as three Persons of the Trinity.
Tertullian, who is believed to have been converted to Christianity by 197 CE, introduced the term Trinity to the Christian vocabulary and also probably the formula "three Persons, one Substance". The Holy Trinity, as a formal doctrine, was adopted by the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE.
The New Bible Dictionary states: "The term "Trinity" is not itself found in the Bible. It was first used by Tertullian at the close of the 2nd century, but received wide currency [common use in intellectual discussion] and formal elucidation [clarification] only in the 4th and 5th centuries (1996, "Trinity"). It further states that "the formal doctrine of the Trinity was the result of several inadequate attempts to explain who and what the Christian God really is...To deal with these problems the Church Fathers met in [A.D] 325 at the Council of Nicaea to set out an orthodox biblical definition concerning the divine identity." However, it wasn't until 381, "at the Council of Constantinople [that] the divinity of the Spirit was affirmed" (ibid).
Many will point to the vain attempt at defining the divinity without inspiration from God. His word clearly defines the Genesis 1:26, "Let us..." where us is the majestic plural term 'Elohim' which is revealed to us as 2 divine beings at the moment in John 1:1-3 as follows:
John 1:1-3Contemporary English Version (CEV)The Word of Life1 In the beginning was the one
who is called the Word.
The Word was with God
and was truly God.
2 From the very beginning
the Word was with God.
3 And with this Word,
God created all things.
Nothing was made
without the Word.
Everything that was created
So, before the physical world began, the Scriptures confirm that there was 'the God' whom we have come to know as the Father and 'the Word' or Logos who became the Son of God, Jesus our Christ.

Why do christians celebrate Christmas on 25 dec if there is proof that Jesus was born in April?
There is no real proof that Jesus was born in April. Many point to the shepherds in the field that is inconclusive as shepherds can be in the field whenever they like. The reason Christians celebrate in December was an early syncronism (lining up two religions) with a pagan festival. God is all about redeeming and early christians did that. They took a pagan holiday and gave it christian meaning. They redeemed it and made it christian.

What is the Holy Trinity and why is it contradictory?
A:The Holy Trinity, or Blessed Trinity, is simply understood as three persons in one God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. As a concept, this is not at all contradictory. After all, Hinduism has a godhead that is three gods in one, and the ancient Egyptian syncretism of its gods was far more complex than anything imagined in the Christian Trinity. The Church does not describe the Holy Trinity as contradictory, but does often liken it to a mystery, continuing with an explanation that only serves to make the Trinity seem more difficult to understand. This even sometimes seems like a defensive response in the face of disbelief.What is more contradictory is that the Church prefers to say the Holy Trinity was always part of Christian doctrine yet the earliest known proponent of the Holy Trinity was Tertullian, a Latin theologian who wrote in the early third century.The new concept gradually gained adherents throughout the third century but also faced opposition, particularly from Arius, a popular Libyan priest at the beginning of the fourth century. The Trinity was adopted as Christian doctrine at the Council of Nicaea in 325, but the Church remained divided until Emperor Theodosius made belief in the Trinity a requirement for all Christians, around 380 CE.Theologians point to the 'Johannine Comma', 1 John 5:7-8 ("For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.") to demonstrate that the Holy Trinity was always part of Christian doctrine, but that passage was never in the early Greek manuscripts. It appeared in the Latin translation of the fifth century, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea and long after the time of Tertullian.
