Everything else is trivial: 1. Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary. 2. Jesus Christ lived a perfect, sinless life, was crucified and rose on the third day. 3. Jesus Christ is fully God. Of course, saying this in a Baptist setting might ruffle some feathers (I actually brought this up in Sunday school this past week!), and get you looked at funny.

If God was guiding them through that, what else was he doing for the church fathers around that time? How seriously should we take other things they did and said? No good answers from me here, sorry, but I'm afraid I get lost in the confusion you talk about sometimes.
