Dear SantoSubito:
I agree. Jesus is God. Arianism is a false
belief.
But Arianism is not the only false
belief regarding God. There is also
Sabellianism, Nestorianism, Monophysitism,
Apollinarianism, Macedonianism. And there are
other heresies like Marcionism, Novatianism,
Gnosticism, Pelagianism, Donatism, Origenism,
and so on; and some consider Augustinianism
as heretical in some way, though Augustine
was not judged by the Church to himself
be a heretic, but a good teacher who
sometimes taught things not
so good; a man after God's heart, who
sometimes erred and taught some heresies like
Filioquism. He did so for good reasons, and he
was well-intentioned, just mistaken; and he
never put forth Filioque as a dogma that must
be believed in order to be saved. Unlike
Thomas Aquinas, who taught that believing the
Filioque is necessary for salvation. Augustine
didn't teach that. Thus, Roman Catholicism
contradicts itself. Take care. Scott/ Erie USA
