60: Anti-Trinity proof texts REFUTED: John 8:42
The same Greek word for "proceeded forth" (exerchomai) is used in both John 8:42 and Mk 5:8. Did the demons have their creation point in the man? Obviously not. So even if the actual meaning of John 8:42 was that Jesus came from inside the Father, it clearly doesn't mean that it was Jesus creation point any more than the demons from the man. But the expression "proceeded forth" in John 8:42 does not mean Jesus came from the Father as a source, but merely that the Father sent him forth. John 8:42 "If God were your Father, you would love Me; for I proceeded forth (exerchomai)and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. Mk 5:8 For He had been saying to him, "Proceed forth (exerchomai) from the man, you unclean spirit!" But more importantly, the following verses will prove beyond any question, that the meaning of John 8:42 means nothing more than "Jesus came from the presence of the Father, being sent". John 17:8 "O righteous Father, although the ... ...

Athanasius was twice exiled, and when ninety bishops assembled at Antioch for the dedication of Constantine's 'Golden Church' a council was held and a 'Creed of the Dedication' put forward as a substitute for that of Nicaea, in spite of, or perhaps because of, a letter from Pope Julius urging Athanasius' restoration.
