Here is a great example of Agency. In our form of government we have lords over different regions. Some are called mayors. Some governors. Some presidents.
I call myself a Biblical Unitarian.
That Jesus is our lord is not denied. It's just that he is not God. And 1 Cor 8:6 makes this fact explicit.
When: Just after the famous "feeding of 5000" and "walking on water".
No, Jesus set the example by serving his Father over himself. And at Matt 7:21 it assures only those living now to do Jesus' Fathers will get to enter his kingdom.
There is a whole bible that must be applied to Gods truth. Many x single teachings are just a partial truth. Like Acts16 :30-31--Believe on Jesus and you will get saved. Yet at Matt 7:22-23-these are supposed christians who believe on Jesus but will hear these words as judgement--GET AWAY FROM ME you who work iniquity, i must confess i never even knew you. Proof Acts 16:30-31 is a partial truth. Many teachings are partial truth. There is a whole bible.
Here is an interesting presentation of the life of Saint Athanasius. He was also called Against the World (Contra Mundum) because he almost singlehandedly, with the Grace of God of course, saved the World from Arianism. In today's world it would be like a roomful of JWs, Unitarians, and Muslims along with the authorities all against the Christian faith. And he triumphed at the end - against almost the whole world leaning towards Arianism. May God raise up more people like Saint Athanasius!
The God of Israel is and was a single being God-YHWH(Jehovah) = 100% fact of life.
The Nicene Creed, for which Saint Athanasius was the main contributor/author, is 100% true.
No trinity was taught at the council of Nicea-325ce. From what i understand, not that long ago they altered it.
The original Nicene Creed was first adopted at the First Council of Nicaea in 325. In 381, it was amended at the First Council of Constantinople to its present form. This amended form is also referred to as the Nicene Creed. In both cases, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are God either explicitly mentioned or by virtue of the fact that they're worshiped as God.
There was a bigger council sometime later that had many more attendees than Nicea that rejected the man-is-god thesis. This article explains the whole point of the Council of Nicea was in response to the widespread belief at the time that Jesus was NOT God. Evidence to support this is the fact that most Christian bishops were NOT invited.
Before the Council started, the Arians had the majority. That's why Saint Athanasius was called "Against the World", because the vast majority of Bishops were Arian leaning. So an Appeal to Majority would have banished us all into forever being Arians. It's only after the council discussions did many Bishops realize that "Jesus (Word of God) is God" is a true statement.
Actually it is clear when Jesus declared himself the "I Am" of the OT who existed before Abraham was alive. Those verses are extremely embarrassing to Arians.
Actually, the Arian heresy continued to exist even after the Nicene Creed was ratified. Today there are over 1.5 billion Arians in the world: Muslims, JWs, Unitarians, etc... 1.5 billion people is not actually a "purge".
LOL. Then you are conceding the "council" of Nicea's outcome in fraudulent.
