The Orthodox reasoning behind Nicea (Jesus Christ, ritual, testimony, virgin)

[No*s]

Many people wonder, "why is the Trinity so important?" Well, St. Athanasius explained clearly what he meant by it in On the Incarnation. This is a classic piece of Orthodox spirituality, and it explains why the divinity of Christ is fundamental, and part of the reason St. Athanasius fought so hard against it, even when the whole world seemed to turn against him. One must really admire that man.

ON THE INCARNATION

St. Athanasius' argument basically comes down to that classic Early Church Argument: "God became man so that men might become God." My favorite quote on this matter, though, is the "Christ has trampled down death by death" that is repeated so often lol.

St. Athanasius is one of those men that I admire greatly
