Good historical snapshot of the 325 Nicaea Council. Recommend the rest of the story about what Constantine initiated to divorce Jewish roots from practicing Christians and the church at that time. Noting that none of the Bishops were from a Jewish background, Constantine's intent made clear in this comment written to bishops who were not present at the Council:
"It was, in the first place, declared improper to follow the custom of the Jews in the celebration of this holy festival, because their hands having been stained with crime, the minds of these wretched men are necessarily blinded. … Let us, then, have nothing in common with the Jews, who are our adversaries. … Let us … studiously avoid all contact with that evil way." Quoted from "Ecclesiastical History" by Theodoret. Book 1 Chapter 9. Constantine instituted anti-Sarmatism during this council with lasting barriers for reaching Jews that exist today.

The Trinity is way more complicated than our human minds can fully grasp, but really smart humans think they can figure it all out, but they are always wrong.
