When did it ECHAD change? - Part II

~
It might surprise many believers, but the fact remains that the Early Christain Church did NOT firmly state that Yeshua was G-d until the 4th and 5th century.

Below are some of the early Gentile Christian teachers who formed this doctrine. They were NOT Jewish believers who kept Torah nor did they know the Hebrew language or the Jewish customs. They taught with a Greek theology and never did think with a Hebrew mindset. These teachings were affirmed by the Roman Catholic church in 451 CE, at the Council of Chalcedon. See Part I.

(318 A.D.) Heresy of Arius– Taught that Christ was created by God and was a lesser god. Jesus is thus greater than humanity, but less than God, an intermediary being, semi-divine and semi-human.

(361 A.D.) Heresy of Apollinaris– Bishop of Laodicea. Taught that the one person of Christ had a human body BUT not a human mind or spirit, and that the mind and spirit of Christ were from the divine nature of the Son of God.

(382 A.D.) Heresy of Nestorius – Archbishop of Constantinople. Taught that Christ exists as two persons, the man Jesus and the divine Son of God, or Logos, rather than as two natures (True God and True Man) of one divine person. The doctrine is identified with Nestorius (c. 386- 451 A.D.),. It was his teachings that the two persons, the "Son of Man" and the "Son of God" or the Word were "linked" together in a perfect moral union. He also stated, "If anyone does not agree that holy Mary is Mother of God, he is at odds with the Godhead" (Letter to Cledonius the Priest 101 [A.D. 382]).

(449 A.D.) Heresey of Eutyches - Opponent of Nestorius – Eutyches accused Nestorius of dividing Jesus into two natures. In setting forth his alternative, he interpreted the church’s confession that Jesus was “one person” with idea that our Lord possessed only “one nature” (hence, “monophysitism”). As a result, Eutyches conceived Jesus as one in whom divinity and humanity mingled to form a new nature. When questioned by official church representatives, he confessed, “after the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ I worship one nature, viz, that of God made flesh and become man. Eutyches termed and insisted on Christ’s incarnate substance “one incarnate nature of God the Word.”

There you have it, in 451 A.D., during the council of Chalcedon, these men, along with 150 Gentile Roman Bishops, led the way to a new teaching and redefined the term Echad to a new definition - 2 enities equals 1 deity. Note, these guys did NOT define the godhead as 3 equals 1 as taught in Christianity today but taught that 2 equal 1 godhead. But even this teaching (two god theory) has a major flaw, that is, Elohim CANNOT DIE. Nowhere is there a single Biblical indication that the Creator Elohim of the Bible can die. And if G-d turned Himself into a human being who died, then that would mean that G-d died.
