The Nicene Creed ended the Arian division within the early Christian Church by reaffirming

• A. that Jesus was purely human
• B. that Jesus was purely divine
• C. that Jesus was both human and divine
• D. The Holy Spirit is not divine

Answer: (C)

The main idea tested is how the Nicene Creed defines Jesus Christ’s nature to settle the earlier dispute. It does this by affirming that Jesus is both fully divine and fully human—God from God, true God from true God, and incarnate as a human being. This combination rejects the claim that Jesus was merely a created being and also avoids denying his humanity, uniting belief in Jesus’ divinity with his true humanity. That direct affirmation is what ended the Arian division.

So, the best answer is that Jesus is both human and divine. Choosing the purely human option would keep alive the idea that Jesus was not God; choosing the purely divine option would deny his humanity. The Holy Spirit's divinity is treated separately in the Creed, so the statement about Jesus being not divine doesn’t fit.
