"The moment you declare a set of ideas to be immune from criticism, satire, derision or contempt, freedom of thought becomes impossible." // Salman Rushdie

“You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I."
// John 14:28

"The whole world groaned, and was astonished to find itself Arian." // Saint Gerome, after the Council of Rimini (Ariminum).

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.
