Question

An addendum to the original Nicene Creed quotes and condemns some of the actual teachings of Arius (e.g., "There was a time when he was not"). True or false

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is true. The original version of the Nicene Creed did not explicitly mention Arius or his teachings, but it condemned the idea that Jesus was a created being and asserted that he was "begotten, not made." Later, an addendum called the anathemas was added to the creed, specifically condemning Arius' teachings, including the assertion that "there was a time when he [the Son] was not." This addendum was aimed at clarifying and reinforcing the orthodox position on the nature of the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus.
