In the evangelical world and particularly the liberal Christianity world, a great deal of focus goes into helping "single mothers". I think it's a bit misplaced, and the fruit isn't particuarly good. I spent years in a liberal Christian setting supporting this kind of ministry and it did ...

The conclusions of Nicea were correct, but hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. J.M. If the above statement is true, then why did it take another 50 years to get it "right"? They were nit picking over words, and inferences, which I highly doubt was inspired by the Holy Spirit. ...

You assume the Church was clueless about it, but history reveals that Christ revealed the truth about who He was- but then Arian misinterpreted 'Scripture'- I don't believe Christ left them in the dark on who He was before He became 'flesh' and dwelt among us.

.... Strangely, those who hold strongly to the inerrancy of scripture are the ones who also stand the strongest behind this construct, which, as I said, is entirely manmade. ....

I wonder how Jesus felt about people using violence and warfare to kill "heretics" who didn't believe quite the right doctrine about the nature of Jesus. Yeah, Nicea must have been quite a show. Including fights; http://www.stnicholascenter.org/pages/bishop-nicholas-loses-his-cool/ My gue...
