int3grity

It was the Trinity DVD I saw. I would be interested to see if there are recorded prayers of the early Church fathers and contemporaries of the apostles which show the early Church directed prayer to Jesus rather than the Father. The question that I have is regarding orthodoxy. The original question was whether the orthodox position of the Church has historically been roles within the Trinity or if the egalitarian position which removes those distinctions apart from the incarnation was the historically orthodox view of the Church. The accusation against complimentarians was that they have a new and unorthodox view of the Trinity and it lines up with Arianism. My lengthy post showed quotes from the ealry Church as they were articulating the doctrine of the Trinity in OPPOSITION to arianism. So how can it then be said that complimentarians hold to arinism and unorthodox views when the writtings of the early Church fathers, including Athenatias himself, seem to line up clearly with the complimentarian position of roles within the Trinity? Those same positions of the early Church were articulated in the midst of heated debate AGAINST the Arians.

It seems like there are misrepresentations of bothe positions in this debate.
