the variety of desert fathers "out there' were pretty diverse...
and what they may have agreed upon at Ecumenical Councils like Nicaea 325( through duress or other influences)
was not what they necessarily went back and began to preach....some simply agreed in the presence of the council,
yet returned home and largely carried on with their own differing established beliefs.
the Christian story has got more holes in it than Swiss cheese...yet there be billions of bible or crucifix toting clowns
claiming to know [their own convenient preferred version] of what they allege is the truth.
One would have to wonder why a brilliant God would create such a widely stupid lot.
