Arianism

[apeiron_gaia]

So, what are the arguments against Arianism? The only one that I've read is "If Arianism is true, then we've been worshipping a creature all the time, and that is unacceptable to believe that." It seems as though there is scripture to support both points of view

Part of it is a belief in one "catholic" church and a belief in a tradition of orthodoxy. That the Trinitarian interpretation "won out" in both terms of what was decided at the council of Nicea and history. Scripture is the only infallible authority, though not the only authority that helps us understand doctrine.

Scripture is not infallible. For one thing, the two versions of creation in Genesis contradict each other. I could list errors and contradictions all day.

You should be able to find, at least on Amazon, a great book called "The Message of the Bible," by George Cronk. For Orthodox Christians, the Bible infallibly communicates the saving message of Christ to those who are in the Church. This doesn't mean that it is infallible in all of its apparent (and irrelevant) material claims, nor in just any interpretation

If scripture is fallible, then you have nothing to base your faith as a Christian on except what someone told you, which is certainly fallible.

Scripture is the ONLY thing that a true christian can fully and completely rely on as a source of objective truth. Everything ELSE is fallible.

And I can interpret Helter Skelter to be about a race war, but that does not mean that my interpretation is correct.
