You are referring to the Council of Nicaea Source. This was in 325AD, with memberships from area Bishops .... 1,800 members in total. One thousand, eight hundred fingers were in that pie. With the politics in play - I believe a lot of good scripture was thrown out for political purposes, such is the nature of man.

The First Council of Nicaea was primarily concerned with Arianism and the Holy Trinity.

The history of the development of the New Testament Canon goes back further and is a different path.

Perhaps, but from what I know of that was thrown out they seem to have good, solid reasons to have omitted it.

But then I'm no scholar.

Constaninople/Nicea dealt witht he Arian Heresy. The Council of Rome in 382, the Council of Hippo in 393 and the Council of Carthage in 397 established the Canon of the Bible.
