I don't believe that the Nicean creed is necessarily authentic
Christianity. The real Christians were probably all eaten by lions or
never left the catecombs. There are some Jewish Christian (like
Ebionites) groups with docetic tendancies which from a Muslim
perspective seem a likelier candidate for representing the true
followers of Jesus.
Dear Gilberto,
 
I think the above is a good example of perennialist triumphalism. The perenialist decides what the original religion was or wasn't, despite what that religion may say about itself.
 
warmest, Susan
