But the common ideas of ancient times were different.  Jesus the man
was considered a disreputable figure, mocked by pagan (see for
instance Minucius Felix for an example).  So the common error was to
claim that he was divine, but that his humanity was only in appearance
(docetism).

If we search for the words 'Jesus' and 'Christ' in the second century
fathers, we find them routinely asserting his divinity.  I did this
for other reasons some time back, and you can find the quotes and
references here:

and many other places.

The idea that the Council of Nicaea voted Jesus as god is a crude
mistake, widely circulated and sometimes repeated in good faith by
those unfamiliar with the council.  But both sides at this council
were trinitarian.  The debate was on whether the second person of the
Trinity was of the same substance (homoousios) as the first, or of
like substance.

I hope that this helps.  Whatever our opinions, don't we all want to
have the raw facts straight?

All the best,
