The begotten God heresy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modern day christiandum has adopted for the most part a creed called the nicene creed..In this creed it is taught that Jesus christ, the Son of God, according to His Deity, was begotten of the Father before all worlds..notice:
The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
This detestable doctrine is saying that God was begotten of God..That the very God was begotten of the very God..
This is rooted in greek mythologhy of the times of the 325 council.
Interesting quote:
Exploring the ancient Greek mythological concept of the Begotten Gods that Justin Martyr introduced into Christianity, and Origen popularized and later Constantine’s new church embraced and set forth in its official imperial creed known as the Nicene Creed or Nicenism.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/old-sc.../message/12602Yes, thats right, the concept of the Son being begotten of The father,
in His Deity, very God begotten of very God, finds its roots in greek mythology..Its of the devil..and many believe it and support it..
Its a doctrine of men; col 2:
8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
