Good idea.

Guess what, Loren. Neither do you. Neither do most of the people who mindlessly
repeat the vapid slogan, "sola scriptura". For that is how vapid slogans are.
They are most popular among people who repeat them mindlessly, applying all zeal
to avoid really thinking about what the words of the slogan must really mean.

You do the same thing with sola scriptura; you do it with sola fide, too.

theological documents help us to appreciate the early Church's position
on the Trinity and its view of Christ in God's divine purpose. With
regard to the Trinity doctrine, however, what was the view of the
ante-Nicene ecclesia? Did the ante-Nicene fathers teach that God is
threefold? Alternatively, did these men espouse a subordinationist
view?

When reading the last question, some readers may feel that we are
guilty of the either/or (vel/vel) fallacy. "Stop question loading!"
logicians may assert. Yes, certain readers may think that it is
erroneous to assume that the ante-Nicene fathers were either
Trinitarians or subordinationists. Why could they not possess both
viewpoints simultaneously?

Once a proper understanding of subordinationism is grasped, it will
become clear that there is no possible way a Christian can
simultaneously affirm both subordinationism and Trinitarianism. Why is

First, we think that the very definition of subordinationism makes it
logically impossible to concomitantly affirm Trinitarianism and
subordinationism. But to fully u
