Athanasius on God as Creator and Recreator

In the study of the ancient church's father, you can not avoid learning Athanasius. He was the first father to truly understand and express the trinity of theology and the general hobby of its creation. Likewise, his development of Trinity theology also occurred at an important moment in Christian thought. Athanasius influences refusing Ariane's controversy, which makes Christ less than the father. To understand the theology of Athanasius is important to understand that he is a person.

For Athanasius, the best way to understand the relationship between God and God and Jesus is through the words "father" and "son". This is a term that has never been used before, but Athanasius enters a central stage and like agen (n) etos and gen (n) etos of Arian (actually, an orthodox Christian) I forced it. Athansius likes parent / child terms for three reasons. First, agen (n) etos is an undocumented term. It is good to talk about God in the language he provided. In fact, Jesus often calls God as his father and Christian as his father. Second, Athansius believes that the term agen (n) etos is too ambiguous to aid the discussion. There are many ways to understand these terms. Agenetos (ingenerate) may refer to things that exist but do not exist yet, do not exist, do not exist, or exist even if they exist (that is, always exist).

Discussion caused by Arias divided the church (see Athanasius' module). The Aryan said that his son is not as eternal as his father. Athanasius and his friend argue that his son is as true as his father. There are many unpleasant people at the extremes in the middle. They want to keep the difference between my father and my son rather than making my son a pure creature. Especially since it threatened the stability of the empire, Emperor Constantin was deeply disturbed by this division. Therefore, he convened a conference of all the bishops of the church - the first worldwide (the "world") council -, in Nica Air of small and medium Asia, few representatives from the Western Church were present . As the Committee agreed that Jesus is a true God, it published a creed showing Christian faith in such a way as to completely condemn the Arianism. This description comes from the church history of Socrates' Socrates, and he wrote it 100 years after Eusebius.
