“I will tell you why. Because you believe in a Bible interpretation...”

That statement reveals both your arrogance as well as your false assumptions. The Nicean Creed does not trump the Lord’s Word. According to the Bible, the Lord is Triune; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Triune Lord created all things.

To take your point to its logical conclusion, a “created” being created everything. As you said, Christ wasn’t “created”. He’s eternal, and yet, he lowered himself into human form in order to pay the penalty of sin, and was resurrected.

How many mere morals have you witnessed do such a thing? None. Just as you have not witnessed mere morals creating new galaxies or worlds. How aperpo that you should mention Global Warming. Given scientific achievement, one would think that we shouldn’t have to worry about Global Warming. All scientists need to do is create a new world to live on.

The Almighty, Triune God created, not mere man. Christ is not a mere man. He is Lord, second person of the trinity. To claim that just he, a “man”, created all things is about as preposterous as “Global Warming”.

It isn't a false assumption. All who base their statement of faith on the Nicean Creed have the same illogical view of the Trinity. Clearly the Nicean Creed does not trump the Bible. But it is a lens through which much of Christendom interprets the Bible. I and many others come to completely different conclusions because we are not chained to the Nicean dogma.

For example, when in John 17 Christ prayed that all believers be one with him, as He is one with the Father, it is clear he is talking about "one mind" "one in Spirit" "one in purpose." Freed from the Nicean lens, it becomes clear that this is is indicative of the nature of the Godhead.

Clearly, Christ wasn't suggesting we believers become one substance, one entity, as mandated by the Nicean decree about the Godhead.
