From what I understand about the deity of Jesus, the Council of Nicea (1st-325 A.D) answered every fundamental question regarding Jesus’ co-eternalness with God. If Arianism was “destroyed” by the Council with the help of Eastern and Western Emperors, how did Eutychianism get to be such an issue in Chalcedon?
 
Destroyed? As long as there are human beings on Earth these issues and new ones will resurface. Everytime I think I have seen everything something new will pop up.

Just twenty years after the Council of Ephesus, another council was held, this time in the city of Chalcedon. In 451 the council dealt with another heresy called Eutychianism. As a result of the council, the Definition of Chalcedon was drawn up. This definition reaffirmed the basic definition of Christ’s divinity given at the Council of Nicea in 325. It also expressly repudiated those who deny the title Theotokos for the Blessed Virgin Mary and reasserted the position that our Lord was “One Person in Two Natures which are united unconfusedly, unchangeably indivisibly inseparably.”
