Hello! I need some help from the theologians amongst you.
I'm starting to teach the Gospel of John, and being confronted to interesting questions, linked to the Trinity and to the Word "made flesh".
As I'm digging into it, I am seeing that the Logos being the Son of God has been apparently historically rejected by the councils, and that the idea that the Son preexisted his incarnation (Theodore of Mopsuestia and Diodorus of Tarsus) was rejected in the 4th century as implying two sons.
I'm heard a lot of teachings saying that the Angel of the Lord was Jesus in the Old Testament, that Abraham actually met Jesus himself, and so on (and I've taught so, myself).
What is CC's official position on all this?
