“For the Father is greater than I” (John 14:28)
#
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. (John 20:17)
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. (Matthew 24:34-36)
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. (Matthew 26:39)
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. (Acts 7:55-56)
***
Tertullian, pointing out that Jesus was not omniscient, stated that The Son is “ignorant
of the last day and hour, which is known
to the Father only” (Tertullian, Praxeas,
ch. 27; Matthew 24:36).
***
Arius taught, in accordance with the original and primitive subordinationist Christology that
the Son of God was a perfect creature,
made by God from nothing a finite time ago.
That was all.
The case Arius presented at the Council of Nicaea (325 A.D.): (1) The Son of God came after God the Father in time and substance. (2) The supremacy of God the Father, the Son was simply the oldest and most beloved creature of God, made from nothing, because of being the direct offspring. (3) The per-existent Son was God's first creation. (4) Only The Father had no beginning and only The Father alone was infinite and eternal. (5) The Son had a beginning, created and begotten of God. (6) There was a time when The Son had no existence. (7) The Son had Free Will. (8) Because there was a time when The Son was not, He was also a finite being. (9) Arius quoted John 14:20 "For The Father is Greater than I", Colossians 1:15 "the firstborn of all creation", and (as Tertullian also pointed out), Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but my Father only."(10) The Father's Divinity is Greater than The Son's, and that The Son was under God The Father, and not co-equal or co-eternal with Him.
