and,
to this day, even with as many 'exceptions proving the rule' we see a massive global church of so many denominations which acknowledge this. Even those disagreeing intensely on many 'in house' issues will be in total agreement on the nature of Christ.
So why you said something like this really amazes me. Its as if you just thought it 'sounded good' and fit your worldview of what you would like Christianity to 'come across' like... and so you wrote it.
Hoping it would just fly.

The nature of Jesus' divinity was asserted by Saul of Tarsus later St Paul. Jesus never said he was God incarnate. Other religious including early christian sects at the time that knew of Jesus and his ministry were later declared heretic, outlaw and suppressed. Take for example Gnostics, Essenes, Donatists.. to name a few.
Incidentally the Nicene Creed came about in 325AD/CE after the first ecumenical council.
