Arius View Of God's Attributes
Arius view Christ as a created being with divine attributes, but was not divine in and of himself.
God’s divinity makes Him different from human beings. God created human beings with the ability to understand and imitate some degree of God’s attributes, human beings need salvation because they have misused the freedom against God’s plan and law.

    The Question of Identity: God created man in His image which makes humankind the highest form of creation. The Bible even goes so far as to state that we are “a little lower than the angels (Psalm 8:5). Man also has a unique calling that can only be accomplished through Christ (Philippians 1:6).…

    De Vocatione Chapter 6 Analysis

    According to the author of the book Ancient Christian Writers (The Call of a Nations) in book 2 it had three major points Gods will, all men to be saved, the knowledge of truth and salvation is due to grace, and God’s judgements are inscrutable. Nevertheless, he believes that every human soul has a free will of some kind. He said that man may choose what is right from what seems wrong. He then discusses in chapter 2 about scripture teaches that God wills all men to be saved, Chapter 6 even in our time grace is not given to all men in the same measure, and on chapter 25 with his general grace given to all, God always wills and has willed all men to be saved; but His special grace is not granted to all. However, it is said that when God intervenes the grace of the Spirit is present as an example to follow.…

    When God Talks Back Analysis

    That God isn’t even fathomable by our human brains, and equating the Almighty as human is not right. The church I grew up in said that God is a Supreme Being that we cant comprehend and if we anthropomorphize God, we are bringing Him down to our level of human. The people of the Vineyard frequently speak of God like He is just a guy they hang out with. Giving God human characteristics of walking with them or consuming coffee is the exact act of making God humanlike. The author talks about them having to develop a relationship with God saying, “God does indeed become more person-like, the difference between knowing God and knowing persons will become more marked.” (71). Though they insure that the difference will become clearer, it doesn’t seem so for those described in the book. For a church like the Vineyard that prides themselves in their holiness, it is odd they would dismiss this major act of disrespect against their…

    First Council of Nicaea and Jehovah S Witnesses

    Arianism, a Christian heresy first proposed early in the 4th century by the Alexandrian presbyter Arius. It affirmed that Christ is not truly divine but a created being. Arius’ basic premise was the uniqueness of God, who is alone self-existent and immutable; the Son, who is not self-existent, cannot be God. Because the Godhead is unique, it cannot be shared or communicated, so the Son cannot be God. Because the Godhead is immutable, the Son, who is mutable, being represented in the Gospels as subject to growth and change, cannot be God. The Son must, therefore, be deemed a creature who has been called into existence out of nothing and has had a beginning. Moreover, the Son can have no direct knowledge of the Father since the Son is finite and of a different order of existence, Brown, and Heresies (1988;45).…

    Theo 104 Reflection Paper

    One key theme of God’s Grace that is illuminated in the bible is its availability to every man. Titus (2:11), asserts, "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men." Whereas God’s grace of salvation is available to all men, not all men are saved and this is not God’s fault. In Luke 19:10, Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost.” This illustrates that it was through the grace of God that Jesus came to save the world.…

    Old Testament

    It is through our knowledge and revelation of God that we find out who He is and what He expects of each of us. In scripture we find God revealing himself to us. We find that our disobedience separates us from God, makes us afraid of God, make us want distance between us and God. But God who desires fellowship always reaches out to humanity. The Bible has plenty of examples that speak to this fact such as, "Your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear" (Isaiah 59:2).…

    Arian Heresy

    The time from 256 A.D. – 336 A.D. conflict with the Church’s beliefs were rising among many other doctrinal disputes, which troubled a majority of Christians when Constantine recognized the Church in 313 A.D. This unorthodox opinion, heresy, frightened the Church. The founder of the heresy was Arius, an Alex Adrian priest. The heresy was then called Arianism, which denied the divinity of Jesus Christ. Arianism was one of the most dangerous heresies that affected the Church, which resulted in the development of the Nicene Creed. Arians believed only God the Father was God no incarnation. Jesus Christ was God’s greatest creation. The problem with denying the divinity of Christ is, “If Christ is not divine, he could not save humanity and humanity could not be redeemed.”…

    Sin And Salvation In Christianity

    Sin and Salvation are two of the most crucial concepts in Christianity. They are the basis for the current purpose of man’s existence and define the future of God’s creation. Sin is a curse that all descendants of Adam are cursed with due to his disobedience of God. The consequences of his sin is that all of humanity is separated from God and damned to eternal Hell. This, however, is not the full story. When Adam first sinned, God promised a savior that would right the wrong that Adam committed. This savior was Jesus Christ who came and died as the perfect sacrifice covering man’s sin and offering all of humanity the option of salvation as a way to live with God for all of eternity.…
