Truth: Jesus is co-equal with God the Father. People who deny this truth may use the following arguments and verses. (These heresies date back to Arius, AD 319.)

VERSES WRONGLY USED TO TEACH THAT CHRIST WAS CREATED

Colossians 1:15: If Christ is “the first born of all creation,” was he created?

MISUNDERSTANDING #1 “The word ‘Trinity’ does not appear in the Bible; it is a belief made up by Christians in the 4th century.”

TRUTH: It is true that the word “Trinity” does not appear in the Bible, but the Trinity is nevertheless a Bible-based belief. The word “incarnation” does not appear in the Bible either, but we use it as a one-word summary of our belief that Jesus was God in the flesh.

Self-reflection is a powerful tool that plays a pivotal role in spiritual growth. It involves taking a deliberate pause to examine your thoughts, feelings, and actions, and to assess your beliefs, values, and purpose. This introspective process allows you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your journey, leading to personal transformation and spiritual enlightenment.
