Just for the record, I would really enjoy hearing your thoughts if you decide to participate in an interview. It was on this board a year or so ago
while I was researching Arius for an entirely different topic that I realized I, too, am an Arian christian. I had not studied the history of Arius
and the division that took place surrounding his beliefs until that time. But upon researching him and his beliefs, I found where what I believe was
cut from the organized church and it's dogma.
Wow, thanks for the kind words. I am astonished, a fellow Arian Christian! You are the only other one I have known of who actually claim it as their
point of view. Many share the same viewpoints of Arius and do not even realize it.
Had Arian Christianity gained prominence instead of Constantine's version, Christian-Muslim relations, as well as Christian-Jewish relations in the
world today would be excellent, because Arian Christians do not claim that Yeshua, Jesus, son of Mary, was God incarnate. This is the focal point of
difference between Christians and Muslims when it comes to Jesus' life and who he was. This obstacle would no longer exist.
And same for the Jews, they'd see it as admitting that Jesus was not God incarnate, a personal victory for them and their theology. Hey, whatever
makes them happy..
But I betcha anything we'd be throwing snowballs instead of grenades..
