I was present at that meeting where it was so profound a presentation of a relevant mandate, indictment and challenge to present day leadership and ministry. Thank you Dr. Smith
Arius was against the use of Serapis Christus, a graven image by the way, into a man made Jesus Christ, naming him the Son of God. Constantine exiled him for not going along with his political and religious agenda. When you tell a lie over and over again, it becomes the truth. There is only one God who will not share His glory with anyone.
We all based our assumption on Mark 6:3 that Christ Jesus' skill is only being a Carpenter by trade as His single source of income/living... Our often NOTION is that, if the Father is a Carpenter (St. Joseph), most likely his son (Jesus) will also be a Carpenter by trade as the saying goes "like Father, like Son."... But I do not believe that is ALWAYS the case... Jesus does not need to know any HUMAN SKILLS from any Human being for Christ Jesus is God by nature...
Jesus has Godly intelligence and Wisdom that NO Human can ADD to his knowledge or skill as he grew in flesh/body as an adult... When Jesus was 12 years old, was lost for 3 days, and found in the Temple, everybody who heard him speak/talk marveled about his intelligence in the Scriptures for Jesus knew everything... Christ Jesus (The Word), and God created Mankind and everything visible and invisible... He knew all kinds/sorts of Labor Works/skills, like farming, fishing, carpentry, shepherding, husbandry, cooking, taming wild animals, all sort of engineering, physicist, economist, businessman, etc... All I am saying is that I firmly believed, Christ Jesus, is "A JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF ALL."... not just a single knowledge to be a CARPENTER as Jesus' single source of living (income) in those times... based solely in Mark Gospel... Amen. I firmly believe Mark 6:3 was translated from Original Greek to English incorrectly... it was supposed to be written as... "Is this the Son (Jesus) of the Carpenter (Joseph), the son of Mary, and the brother of James...etc.?"... and not as... "Is this the Carpenter (Jesus), the son of Mary, and the brother of James.... etc.?"... Remember this as a fact, most of the Jewish Elder people who were still alive in those days will always remember first the Father (St. Joseph) as a Carpenter long before Jesus was born... Therefore, "is this the Son of the Carpenter... ?," for me, is the right English translation in my opinion... and not "Is this the Carpenter... ?"... that directly insinuated/dictated that Christ Jesus was also a Carpenter by trade like his father, Joseph... which is not 100% TRUE... perhaps, partially true only... In conclusion, Jews often refer to the Father first... that is the Jewish way of IDENTIFYING the Sons and daughters... for example... "Jesus ben Joseph," which means, Jesus son of Joseph... Simon ben Jonah, which means, Simon (Peter) son of Jonah... etc... therefore, the correct English translation was supposed to be..."IS THIS THE SON OF THE CARPENTER... ?... Amen...
