Constantine the great (St Constantine), whom was a Roman Emperor from 306 A.D. to 337 A.D. called upon this influential gathering in hopes that it would solve the disputed point of arianism, a notion proposed by Arius of Alexandria, a Christian presbyter, was the belief that Jesus Christ was immortal as he was born from human flesh and died therefore signifying that he was not divine and inferior to God the Father which theoretically goes against the idea that “the word became flesh.”- John 1-14
As bishop, he donated all of his land and gave his money to the poor. This made him widely popular and often times more politically powerful than even the emperor. He studied theology with Simplician, a presbyter of Rome. Using his new education, along with his knowledge of Greek, he took the time to study the Old Testament and Greek authors. He used all of this while preaching; his abilities impressed Augustine of Hippo, who previously thought poorly of Christian preachers. After meeting Ambrose
On June 325, at least 220 bishops were present at the council of Nicaea condemning Arius interpretation of Jesus Christ and the divine trinity. As a result, it “produced an anti-Arian creed, the Creed of Nicea.” Arius was a presbyter teaching a radical view of Jesus Christ and the trinity. Arius believed that the Son was a creature with a beginning, therefore, it was not “possible to have a hierarchy of divine beings.” His viewpoints, believes, faith, and passion is “found today in the Jehovah’s
successor and the fourth pope, St. Clement. Firstly, in Clement’s letter, he sternly commands the people to repent, just as Peter did. St. Clement commands “Do ye, therefore, that have laid the foundation of the sedition submit yourselves to the presbyters, and be chastised to repentance, bending the knees of your hearts.”(St. Clement’s Letter to Corinth 57:1), alike how Peter preaches at Pentecost and ends his speech saying “Repent ...every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness
Around late 130’s, Valentinus came to Rome. Justin Martyr who happens to live in Rome mentions, that the founder of Valentinianism stayed in the imperial capital from 15 or maybe even 30 years. Justin’s testimony points out that in that year of him living in Rome, Valentinus was a Christian leader and that he dislikes Valentinians. He points that the Valentinians along with other the groups were heresies. But the leaders of the church did not consider Valentinias heretic. Tertulian’s told a story
Arius was the presbyter in Alexandria, who later lost his title due to the rejection of the church. Arianism was the theology that God, the father, was really “God” because he was eternal and uncaused. However, the son was not eternal because he was caused, and so wasn’t
epidemic when he was a young man, leaving him well off, but to be raised by his uncle - the Bishop of Patara. Nicholas was determined to devote his inheritance to works of charity, and his uncle mentored him as a reader and later ordained him as a presbyter (priest). An opportunity soon arose for St. Nicholas and his inheritance. A citizen of Patara had lost all his money, and needed to support his three daughters who could not find husbands because of their poverty; so the wretched man was going to
crossroads during the fourth century. Previously, there had been gaps in Church teaching, and so some people began to fill those gaps. One of those people was Arius. Arius was born in 256 A.D. in Libya, but moved to Alexandria, Egypt and became a presbyter there. He began to teach about Jesus as a creature created by God the Father, and so therefore not God. This was seen by many early Christians as a possibility, as there had not previously been any official teaching set, and many of them started
God will often use a series of people, events, or songs to speak to a nonbeliever. It is fascinating that one of the greatest and best-known theologians of all times, Saint Augustine of Hippo, was not always a believer. In fact, he was quite the heathen before his conversion, and his conversion experience really shaped his life thereafter. Augustine was born to a Christian mother and a pagan father.1 Before his conversion, Augustine shifted through a plethora of views and religions. As a young student
