YHvH has preserved His remnant of First Century believers to share His Good News.

An interesting fantasy for which there is no proof whatsoever.

What EXACTLY is this group of non-Trinitarians that you claim has existed since the first century? Give us a name.

I'm not sure what will happen to the believers of the fourth century Nicea chaired by the Pagan Pontiff Constantine.

I don't know who told you this nonsense, but they were wrong.

For starters, there is NO LIST of Popes that suggests that the Church has ever considered Constantine the Great a pope.

Secondly, there has NEVER been any evidence that he was anywhere near Nicea at the time of the Council.

Thirdly, the First Council of Nicaea didn't really even address the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity had been written about by Origen, Tertullian, Polycarp, Justin Martyr and Ignatius centuries earlier.

Finally, the First Council of Nicaea is accepted as valid by nearly ALL Protestants as is the Holy Trinity.

What I would love to know is why you never go on Protestant threads and berate them for saying the Nicene Creed and believing in the Holy Trinity. Although that is not nearly as telling as the fact that they will ignore your rejection of the Trinity in exchange for your opposition to the Catholic Church.

Pontiff is a Pagan term for the head
of the pagan state religion from
~300 BCE through ~400 CE.

The question you need to ask yourself
is why did the leader of the ROMAN "church"
take on the trappings of Paganism
from Babylon by way of Pergamon ?

See Revelation 2:12-14
