    That was at Nicea in 325 A.D. when Nicholas punched Arius. Consequently, Nicholas was thrown out & defrocked. Then Arius was branded a heretic.

    No. This is the one where they beat up St Dioscorus I the Patriarch of Alexandria, plucked his beard and smashed his teeth in (literally) then exiled him till he departed and then mobilised troops to Alexandria and Antioch killing at least 30,000 Copts in one day for believing that Christ's humanity and divinity united and became one mysterious union of the two.

    Then regarding the hypostatic union of Christ -- what is the difference between the Council at Nicea and the Council at Chalcedon?

    J. C - This isn’t quite accurate. We affirm Christ is begotten and has an origin, a beginning, but that beginning isn’t equated to being a creature. Unitarianism doesn’t state that God is the Father alone. We affirm that ourselves. For us the _one God_ is the Father (1 Cor. 8:6). The way in which Christ and the Spirit are God is in a different sense to the Father. The Father isn’t just God the Father, but God who _is_ Father. He is God _the person._ The other persons are God as predicate. It is attributed to them on account of their divinity. The issue with Arianism for the fathers wasn’t just that it made the Son a creature, but it means there was a time when God was not the Father (equating God with the Father).

    J. C - If this is difficult to understand, God only applies to the person of the Father just as “Spirit” only applies to the person of the Spirit, and that is not to say the Father is not spirit, only that Spirit as person applies only to the Spirit, whereas spirit as attribute/predicate applies to the persons generally. But Spirit has a special sense where it is of the Spirit’s person alone. Truly God is a spirit, but when it is used of the Spirit he is not equal to the attribute “spirit”- he is the divine person “Spirit.” In this way the Father is the person “God”, and God when used of the other persons denotes their godhead. Truly we could say the persons are spirit, but the Spirit is a person with that name and it is his alone in the context of his person. Likewise we could truly say the three persons are one God, but the Father is a person with that name and it is his alone in the context of his person.

    Equal to each other you say? His humanity is United to His Divine Nature, without confusion or mixture, but the Council never said anything about the natures being EQUAL!

    If he was fully divine, then he would have done miracles by his own power, but he said it was the Father working in him doing his work. Jesus was the Logos (God) made into a man. God became man. He was still God in his spiritual identity and so was worthy of worship while on earth. Now he is glorified and has of his divine attributed of deity back again. Where am I wrong?

    That’s what tradition tells you. I’m not going by that. I’m only going by truth and facts. There was no church around. The Vatican was built in1445. The first bible was printed in 1475 by the Jews for the Christians called the Old Testament. The New Testament was printed in 1516 by a Swedish playwrighter formerly Catholic priest. The first world man structure church built in 537 in Constantinople called the hagia Sofia. This is history not some man made tradition
