This is the third in a series of seven posts.

I read the beginning and bits and pieces. For the most part, it rebukes well all the pre-gnostic ideas that Jesus lived, but as a human prophet and not a man nonsense from the Divince code.

It’s a heresy now, but what we now call Arianism WAS Christianity until the Council of Nicea made Trinitarianism orthodox doctrine. Most early Christians weren’t Trinitarians.
