When Jesus Became God #2 The Development of a Doctrine.

Описание: A Christadelphian Video:
Summary
This PRESENTATION delves into the historical evolution of the doctrine of the Trinity, contrasting the beliefs of the first-century apostles with those established in the fourth century. It highlights the development of theological ideas from the time of Jesus through the early church fathers, culminating in the establishment of the Trinity as the official doctrine of the Roman Empire. The presentation critiques the philosophical influences that shaped these beliefs and asserts that the original teachings of the apostles have been obscured over time.

Highlights
📜 **Apostolic Century vs. Fourth Century**: The first century is marked by the personal teachings of Jesus and the apostles, while the fourth century sees the formal adoption of the Trinity doctrine, particularly through the Nicene Creed established in 325 A.D.

🏛️ **Development of Doctrine**: The presentation discusses the gradual development of the Trinity doctrine over the second and third centuries, influenced by philosophical ideas, particularly those of Plato, leading to the emergence of various views like proto-orthodoxy and modalism.

⚖️ **Key Theological Figures**: Important church fathers, such as Tertullian, Origen, and Athanasius, played significant roles in articulating and refining the concept of the Trinity, with debates between figures like Arius and Athanasius shaping the theological landscape.

🔍 **Cappadocian Fathers**: The Cappadocian Fathers introduced a formula that defined God as a single essence with three distinct persons, which became widely accepted despite its theoretical nature and lack of biblical foundation.

⚔️ **Political Enforcement of Doctrine**: Theodosius I enforced the Nicene Creed as the official doctrine of the Roman Empire, leading to severe consequences for those who opposed it, marking a significant shift in the relationship between church and state.

📖 **Original Teachings of the Apostles**: The presentation argues that the original beliefs of the apostles, as documented in the Acts of the Apostles, do not align with later developments of the Trinity, suggesting a divergence from early Christian teachings.
