Abstract

The current research aims to demonstrate the seriousness of the Roman emperors' political thought impact in distorting Christian belief، and their role in holding ecumenical councils and directing their decisions according to political influence and pagan heritage، that led to an increase in discord، conflict، division and deviation from the right approach. The research also revealed the danger of political competition on the religious authority that contributed to holding councils and issuing decisions of deprivation، cursing، and expulsion of the other party. The research showed several findings، most prominent of which are: that the Christian councils were in the hands of emperors and kings، they used them to establish their political authority. The Christian councils were not based on evidence، explicit texts، the sayings of the clergy to search for the truth، but according to the emperors' tendencies according to their political orientation، which increased in distorting the faith and legislating the provisions that God did not send down.
