| Once the church arrived at the clarity of the Nicene homoousion, it forgot something about how to read many Gospel passages portraying Jesus' human weakness. |
| Athanasius insisted that Christ was God, that the homoousion clause of the Creed be understood literally. |
| Rufinus states elsewhere that Origen had used the word homoousion to designate the one substance of the Father and Son. |
| Still less should we assume that the non-elite members of Patrophilus's church understood the distinctions between a homoousion and homoiousion creed. |
| Theologically, John uses such Nicene formulas as Homoousion. |
| Their doctrinal formulation held that Jesus, the Word made flesh, is homoousion with the Father. |
