Why did you show the modified Nicene Creed (6:08) rather than the original with it's original language? You showed the Western amended version of the creed (adding the filioque centuries later) as the one written by the attendees of the Council of Nicaea 325 and Council of Constantinople 381, which is incorrect. Perhaps just an oversight, but quite a significant one. Other than that, I really enjoyed your biography of such an important early Christian leader.

Thank you for this wonderful video. Other accounts of the council of Nicea say that the version of the creed you displayed was not the version approved by Nicaea.

It's important to understand the trauma and PTSD that runs all through Christian tradition in order to make sense of their incoherent polemics against us Muslims. Athanasius and the events of his life, just as the life of St Augustine are very essential in understanding their frame of reference and mentalities (moreso than even Paul and the New Testament). Understanding the overwhelming anxiety at the heart of Christian thought, history and culture helps massively to understand things like the utter fictions written by figures like John of Damascus and Thomas Aquinas against Islam.

The trinity was given weight by Emperor Theodosius I by means of his Edict of Thessalonica. This edict was put in effect via the the Roman sword and received applause by one faction of Christians at the Council of Constantinople in 381. From 325 A.D. and 381 A.D. Emperors Constantius II and Valens made no such Edict being both followers of Arianism. In addition Constantine himself was baptized prior to his death by an Arian. There were other beliefs floating around in the 4th century and he trinity was never taught by Moses respecting the warning from Deut: 13 still gives pause for any serious minded believers. Shema.

You make good points. I would caution to say that the Trinity is the only doctrine brought into faith by the sword, we have 2000+ years of bloodshed that have led to doctrinal differences. For the opinion that Moses never taught about the Trinity, although it's a very nuanced topic, and couldn't be fully debated in the comments section, it is difficult to argue that because Moses did not speak in-depth about the Trinity, we as Christians shouldn't believe it. Moses never taught many things we find in the New Testament, and that has come through the enlightened faith that Jesus has provided us with. Abolition of the Law concerning salvation, saving grace offered to all people no matter nationality or conversion to Judaism, the idea of heaven, etc. were things that the NT developed within the Christian faith that differ from Moses' teachings about God and the world. As I said, I think there is ample room to converse about the understanding of the Trinity, but I personally do believe that God is one, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You have clearly spent time contemplating the Trinity, these are good points. I've also spent many hours contemplating works like De Trinitate and the Summa Theologica (I'm not catholic, although I admit those are core Catholic books for the Trinity), as well as Scripture as a whole like John 1:1-5, Col 2:9, John 10:22-39, etc. The thing that always draws me back to the Trinity is the importance of the divinity of Christ in his sacrifice for humanity. If he is not fully divine with the Father, his sacrifice is essentially meaningless. But that opens a million other questions lol. But, you also bring up a very prominent point at the end, our view of Scripture plays heavily upon how strong we can view our beliefs. If you believe it's been corrupted, you don't necessarily have to argue from Sculpture since it doesn't hold weight. But if you believe that what we call Scripture is exactly what God intended, Scripture gives us the room to have strong beliefs based upon Biblical evidence. I'm not trying to say you don't use Scripture since you clearly provided it above, I just wanted to point out that your P.S. take is a very important take when talking about doctrinal beliefs.

When Ptolomey conquered Egypt after Alexander died, Alexandria controlled trade. Greeks thought commerce was unworthy and delegated trade and tax collection to Jews--Egypt was the bread basket of antiquity. When Rome conquered the last Ptolomey--they continued to use of Jews. Philo of Alexander's brother was the chief tax collector for Egypt and Judea. Philo of Alexander wrote of logos--the word become flesh--well before the gospels and Athanasius. One of many Jewish philosophers who spoke Greek and hardly visited Judea. Of course, he borrowed that concept from the ancient Egyptian god kings. Connections.

The research that I've done points to him growing up within a Christian family. You may have heard of a famous story from his childhood where he and some of his childhood friends were giving each other mock baptisms and it's said this was the first time Alexander took notice of the young Athanasius. Since the fact that he was able to recite the phrases for baptism seems to mean that he was very familiar with the faith. This along with the fact that he went through the catechism school of Alexandria means that whether his family was Christian, which I believe it was, or it wasn't, he was integrated within the Christian faith from a very young age.

With respect to your presentation, I must make a clear observation about a major detail that goes unnoticed. At minute 6:15 you present a Creed and you name this Nicene Creed, but this is not accurate history, because you do not present the original Creed, but the one with the filioque ADDITION. The filioque clause (Latin filioque, “and the son”), inserted after the words “the Holy Spirit,…who proceeds from the Father,” was gradually introduced as part of the Creed in the Western church, beginning in the 6th century. It was probably finally accepted by the papacy in the 11th century. It has been retained by the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant churches. Eastern Orthodox Churches have always rejected the filioque clause. EASTERN ORTHODOX Curches consider it a THEOLOGICAL ERROR and AN UNAUTHORIZED ADDITION to a venerable document.

Forgive me, but the lighthouse in Alexandria was not "Pharoah's Lighthouse," as you say. The correct name is "Pharos." Being one of the seven wonders of the world, historical material about it, such as its name, is easy to find. Therefore, you should be more careful if you are creating content about history to not teach mistakes like this. I can see how you might guess that the name of this structure has to do with Pharoah, because it's in Egypt. But even that part of your presentation is also wrong. There was no Pharoah at the time of Athanasius. Cleopatra is generally regarded as the last Pharoah, or National Geographic says it was Caesarion, the love child of Caesar and Cleopatra. Regardless, this is 300 years before Athanasius. The video contains other errors as well, some of which are pointed out by others in the comments.

Athanasius is revered as a 'saint' purely due to his involvement in establishing the 'trinity' doctrine. If you read carefully his beliefs you will see that he actually DENIED that Jesus suffered for us! "In himself he suffered no injury being impassible & immortal and very word of God" ( De Incartatione 54 ). So he taught there was no real 'son of God' whom the Father in his supreme love for mankind 'gave' for us! His whole life of hardship, pain, suffering & even dying was to Athanasius a non reality object lesson!

His most common nickname was “the black dwarf.” Are you ashamed that he was short or that he was black?

@ChristianBiographies

Жыл бұрын

Why would I be ashamed?

Appart from the supposed victory of words that Athanasius imposed on the council of Nicea, a close scrutiny of his writings reveals many inconsistencies in his philosphic based ideas; example " Was God 'who is' ever without reason ( Word)"? ( Contra Arianos 1 24-25) Thus he is claiming that Since thr Father has always possed 'reason', it follows the 'Word has always been, without a beginning'. This is stuble but FALSE reasoning since it was the Greeks who believed in the 'Logos' as 'reason', whereas the bible writer John calls Jesus the 'Word' with no thought of greek philosophy. Logos in greek simply means 'the expression of thought'. Thus The Father possed 'reason' & thought' for the eternity that he existed. However when He decided to create, first heavanly things, then earthly, he THEN spoke and said 'let it be'. Thats when the 'Word' would have existed, first to be 'begotten' and then to act as the Father's spokesman. ( John not only called Jesus 'God's Word' but also called John the Baptist ' A VOICE crying out in the wilderness John 1: 23. So John called a 'person' a 'voice' as he did with God's Son who said "He that heareth my WORD and believeth on Him who sent me" John 5:23. So Athanasius is using the GREEK PHILOSOPHY definition of 'Logos' to make his arguement that the Son is 'coeternal' rather than focus on the biblical use of 'Logos'. John as a fisherman had no interest in greek philosophy!) The 'Word' to him was a PERSON, not a quality of God! ( John also wrote that Jesus was the 'door' the 'Way' the 'truth' the 'life' & even the 'vine' and 'bread' all these indefinite nouns are mere descriptions of a real PERSON, Jesus the SON of God! This is just illustrates the false reasoning of Athanasius! I can give many other examples.

Firstly, no human has a right to make another human a 'saint'. Only God can decide that ! ( Titus 1:1) Secondly in 'Arianos 111 Athanasius states " Not even the Son knows" ( matt 24:36) It shows a DEFECT in ( his) human nature". Thus this so called 'saint; actually taught that that Jesus Christ had 'defects'. Yet Jesus was a perfect man, "undefield,seperate from sinners" ( Heb 7:26). If you examine Athanasius's writings there are som many false statements and unscriptural views!

That quote does not encapsulate the teachings of Athanasius. There is no way you can read all of his work and think that he believed that Jesus was not fully God.

Plus contradictions. Ie It was the Idea of Athanasius that Jesus is 'very God of Very God' which in itself is a contradiction, for if the Son is OF God then he owes existance to the Father! This is the whole trouble with philosophy! its just a play on words! We need to remember that "The Faith was delivered to the Holy ones ONCE AND FOR ALL" ( Jude 3) this was written in 55AD. We dont need learned & clever church writers to ADD anything to the Gospel of Christ! The NT actually warns against it! ( See Acts 20:28) Note 'from amoung your yourselves" yes 'bishops' e.t..c This is exactly what happened from the 2nd century onwards! The history of 'christendom' from then onwards is filled with, ambition, greed for power, corruption, bigotary, hatred and even Murder! Would you like a few examples?.

I think it’s hard to argue Arius had much of a deep theological conviction about true Biblical interpretation. So I would agree and say that Arius’s theological forms did die out, but the question about God’s relationship with humanity did not die out. The discussion around the relationship with God and man continue today, and have been debated throughout all of Christian history. There have been many faithful Christians who have struggled with this doctrine, but for the biography of Athanasius the idea that Jesus was the God-man was absolutely critical.
