Arianism honestly seems to make the most sense. I'm unfamiliar with the Trinity being mentioned in the Bible, the concept of God fathering himself doesn't really make sense, and thus the First Council of Nicaea seems almost like a fandom inserting their fanon into official lore.As such, I'm interested in how Arianism fell militarily. However, I'm having difficulty finding any sort of comprehensive lists or studies on this.The only war I've been able to find thus far is the Second Franco-Visigothic War of 507-508; in 'The History of the Franks' by Gregory of Tours, Clovis I gave a speech stating his intent to conquer Gaul was that the Visigoths were Arian.
Just realized I forgot to cite the page for Gregory of Tours, so here.
>I'm interested in how Arianism fell militarilyit didn't, at least not in the westmore or less they were convinced by the Latin church gradually over timethe Arians didn't deliberately split the church in the same way the protestants did, so there was never any apocalyptic wars of religion caused by their heresynow Justinian, that vile profligate and tyrant, that's another storythe only person I ever saw talk about how he systematically stole the lands and wealth of entire families just for being Arians, using murder and his goons to impoverish and disenfranchise them, is some based and redpilled heathen admirer who also gushes over the Gothic cathedrals and hates French Revolution whose name I will not mention here
Arianism doesn't make anywhere as much noise as it should in pop culture or mainstream discourse.
>>17280091It's kinda weird since I always grew up with an Arianist-esque view of Christianity despite not belonging to a nontrinitarian sect (Presbyterian), just because Jesus being the son of God making him a different entity/person just felt like common sense to me.
>>17278473Arianism is false BiblicallyJesus verbally claiming to be GodJohn 1:14>14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.The word is Jesus the only son from the fatherJohn 8>39 They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus *said to them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham. >40 But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. this means Abraham saw JesusJesus confirms here>56 Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he would see My day, and he saw it and rejoiced.”Where did Abraham see Jesus/The word of God?Genesis 15>Abram Promised a Son>15 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying,>“Do not fear, Abram,>I am a shield to you;>[a]Your reward shall be very great.”>2 But Abram said, “Lord God, what will You give me, since I [c]am childless, and the [d]heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”What did Abraham call Jesus the word of the Lord??He called him Lord God which means Adonai YHWHThis is clear proof that the word IS GodThus, Jesus is GodJohn 20:28-28>28 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”>29 Jesus *said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you now believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”At the end of the Gospel of John it becomes more obvious that Jesus is GodMatthew 21>16 and they said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus *said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself’?”Jesus quotes Psalm 8:2 to justify infants praising him, but Psalm 8:2 refers to infants praising Jehovah, why would Jesus use that to justify infants praising him if he wasn’t Jehovah himself?
>>17280505>>17278473Let’s continue with John 20:28In Greek:> Ὁ Κύριός μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου>The Lord of me and the God of meFor a Greek speaking Hebrew to say “The God of me” he cannot mean anyone other than YHWH or else it would be idolatry.>”oh my God” used as an expressionNo, that would be using the Lord’s name in vain, Jesus would have condemned him but instead affirmed his belief.
