Greek Philosophy Wars

The False Battle Between Two Pagan Systems
The Arian vs. Nicene "Controversy"
🚨 The False Battle
Arian "Christianity"
Eastern bishops at Council of Antioch (341) reject some Nicene formulations. Empire splits over different interpretations of Greek Platonic philosophy.
Greek Philosophy A
VS
Nicene "Christianity"
Western bishops defend Nicene Creed formulations based on different Greek philosophical concepts of divine nature and substance.
Greek Philosophy B

Each emperor backs different pagan philosophical factions as political weapons.

🚨 What This Really Was
❌ NOT: Yhwh’s Word vs. Error

This was never a conflict grounded in obedience to Yhwh’s Word. Both sides had already abandoned it as their foundation.

✅ REALITY: Greek Philosophy A vs. B

Two competing Greek philosophical systems fighting over which pagan theory would control the Roman Empire under "Christian" names.

Greek philosophy disguised as "Christianity" becomes a tool for imperial power struggles.

Both "Christian" Sides Were Identical
Greek Philosophical Systems
Both used Platonic concepts of divine nature, substance, and being. The debate was between different Greek philosophical interpretations.
Anti–Yhwh’s Word Stance
Both rejected obedience to Yhwh’s Word, seventh‑day rest, and **Yhwh**’s Name. Practices tied to Yhwh’s Word were labeled “Judaizing” heresy.
Pro‑Roman Imperial
Both served imperial interests and sought political favor. Religious doctrine followed political expedience.
Pagan Practices
Both maintained sun‑day observance, goddess language, and many intermediaries (triads/saints) under Christian labels.
Missing from BOTH Sides
Authority of Yhwh’s Word
Neither side used Yhwh’s Word as primary authority—Greek philosophy superseded it.
**Yhwh**’s Name
The written Name was absent from both theological systems and liturgical practice.
Obedience to Yhwh’s Word
Both sides had abandoned the path of direct obedience and branded it as legalism.
Seventh‑Day Rest
The seventh‑day rest tied to creation and Yhwh’s Word was replaced by imperial sun‑day observance.
Yeshua’s Early Teachings (Stripped of Greek Overlay)
The original context was buried under layers of Greek speculation and imperial policy.
The Philosophy War Timeline
341 AD
Council of Antioch: Eastern bishops reject select Nicene formulations, marking a major split inside Greek‑philosophy “Christianity.”
342–345 AD
Competing emperors back rival factions as tools for political control and “unity.”
346–350 AD
Pattern hardens: Greek philosophy in religious robes becomes a primary imperial weapon.
350+ AD
Both sides stand as rival pagan systems. The early way of direct obedience to **Yhwh** is sidelined.
The Real “Christianity”?
Already dead and buried — these were just competing pagan philosophies fighting over which Greek theory would control the Roman Empire. The original way of walking with **Yhwh** had been erased from public life, leaving an imperial shell dressed in robes.
