Christ Over All

"The Nicene Creed remains a bedrock for Christian orthodoxy. For the next month, Christ Over All will consider the history, theology, and necessity of this ancient creed." ~@DavidSchrock christoverall.com/article/concis…

All month long, @Christ_OverAll has been celebrating the Nicene Creed. We want you to know, embracing Classical Trinitarianism does not need to make one abandon their Baptist convictions or confessions. Check out more than a dozen essays and podcasts 👇

"The virgin birth was essential for the eternal Son of God to become flesh so that he might be our Savior and the incarnation of the Son demands that Mary be rightfully called 'Mother of God.'" ~@PereiraMichaelJ christoverall.com/article/concis…

Very good article over at @Christ_OverAll. I'm largely sympathetic with the retrieval/classical theism movement. But it definitely has its blind spots. The Nicene Creed is wonderful, but not a sufficient test of a healthy, orthodox Christianity. christoverall.com/article/concis…

"What happens after the Nicene dogma is settled in Constantinople helps us to understand that creeds, no matter how ancient or prevalent, will always need reformation and reclarification." ~@i_am_bijan christoverall.com/article/concis…

Be sure to read Bryan Litfin's engaging and informative longform on the "dreadful latrine where the arch-heretic [Arius] met his ghastly end" and the triumph of orthodoxy in the Nicene Creed. 👇 christoverall.com/article/longfo…

In all of our articles this month, we are seeking to show that Christ is Lord over the Homousios—and in this article, the Homo Sapien. Terry Mortenson on the Scopes trial 100 years later👇 christoverall.com/article/concis…

“The creeds help us conform our worldview to that of the biblical authors, such that we are better enabled to understand the meaning they communicated, and the God about whom they spoke.” ~Knox Brown christoverall.com/article/concis…

"While Protestants may not be comfortable with such language due to Roman Catholic appropriations of it, these 4⃣ terms serve us well in describing what the universal church is in its essence according to Scripture." ~Jeremy Kimble christoverall.com/article/concis…

Christ Over All exists to extol the Lordship of Christ. And on this day, we remember John MacArthur, who taught us so much about Christ’s Lordship. Here is Ardel Caneday’s @Christ_OverAll tribute that honors a giant in the faith. christoverall.com/article/concis…

“In John MacArthur, I witnessed a man who feared God more than man, who loved the church more than his own reputation, and who longed for Christ’s ‘Well done’ more than the applause of the world.” ~Ardel Caneday christoverall.com/article/concis…

“If God be not a Triune being, none of us are saved and we are still in our sins. If God be not a Triune being, we have no power to live the Christian life and indeed no reason to do so.” ~ Michael A. G. Haykin christoverall.com/article/concis…

“Saving faith then includes the idea that we are persuaded that God the Son came to save me.” ~@PastorPerks christoverall.com/article/concis…

Some strong and helpful essays coming from the Christ Over All theme on the Nicene Creed.

"Beware of those fighting the Spirit. For they fight not only against him, but against the triune God himself, and they seek to slay true worship." ~Robert Lyon christoverall.com/article/concis…

“Jesus cannot be a created being who himself had to ascend to God. He must be, and he is, the eternal Son of God himself, who has personally come down to earth through the incarnation in order to accomplish our salvation.” ~Donald Fairbairn christoverall.com/article/longfo…
