Question

Do you consider Bishop Eusebius’s account to be reliable? Why or why not?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Do you consider Bishop Eusebius’s account to be reliable?

No, really not.

The reason why because his account had created many controversies.

Eusebius has been known as the official historian of the church. He participated in the Council of Nice in 314, organized by Roman Emperor Constantine to revise the religious or historic documents that would end up being in the Bible.

So Eusebius based most of his comments on personal opinions and other historic document's interpretations. It is difficult to say that he did the proper research and had reliable sources. During the Nicea Council, a group of Bishops decided what documents had to be part of the Bible and which not, based on their own criteria. That is not a good indicator of the validity of the documents included, even less we can consider those as sacred.
