As I told you last week, Constantine did many great things, in the name of Christianity, but many of the things he did were done in error. There was a great debate roaring during the time of Constantine. It revolved around two men, or at least their teachings. Athanasius, and Arius The dispute began when Athanasius was the chief deacon assistant to Bishop Alexander of Alexandria. Alexander was faithfully preaching on the Trinity, and in the mean time, Arius, a priest from Libya proclaimed publically, “If the Father begat the Son, then he who was begotten had a beginning in existence, and from this it follows there was a time when the Son was not.” The people began to accept the argument of Arius, but Alexander and Athanasius fought against him, arguing that it denied the Trinity. Athanasius argued ,"Christ is not of a like substance to God, but the same substance. This is not just splitting theological hair, just like today, when we hear of those who deny the Trinity. Justification being the forefront of the dispute. How can God be both Just and the Justifier of sinful men? Salvation was the foundational issue, because: only one who was fully human could atone for human sin; only one who was fully divine could have the power to save us.
