The Council of Nicea vs another christian religion

[Robert Gwin]

I believe that each person who is Alive to God is so because of the Holy Spirit of God. But... I also believe that there a lot of people walking around saying they are alive, but, to God, they are Not. What they have is Not the Life Jesus brought.

Even among those who really have received the Life which Jesus brought, I believe that too many [most?] are routinely quenching the Spirit and following the ways of their own dead heads instead of Jesus. The Life may be or have been there, but stifled and still will not they, those people, stagnate until they run out of time and hope?

Not all are alive to Jehovah sir, Jesus clearly made the statement let the dead bury their dead, he was speaking of spiritual death, correct? Ps 146:4 states that when the ruach goes out we die. I may be in error, but I believe that the breath of life, is actually God's ruach. To me that verse proves that we are all alive by God's holy ruach, as was written about Adam when he came to life.

Even so as per...

"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Gen 2:7

Life was indeed given to man and a warning was also given:

"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Gen 2:17

But the failed to heed the warning:

"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." Gen 3:6

So then they died and all of the offspring of the dead are dead. That was you and me and everyone else... until Jesus came to bring Life anew!

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

Give God the glory!

 

[Wrangler]

Arius taught that Jesus was not God

The Apostles taught Jesus was not God. Every Epistle identifies God the Father and our master (lord) Jesus.

The man-is-god thesis emerged 4 centuries later. The trinity is not in the Bible - not the word, not the doctrine.
