There are a number of people in Church history that I have a lot of respect for. Some of those come from the time of the Council of Nicaea. One of those men is Athanasius, who stood firm in the doctrine of the Trinity. When it seemed all of the Roman Empire was following the heretic Arius, who denied that God was manifest in the flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, a colleague of his told him, “The whole world is against you!” However, Athanasius declared, “Then it is Athanasius against the world.” Another is one that is rarely mentioned, even though his battle was against the same heresy and against the same heretic. His name is St. Nicholas. MORE
