This morning our Jesus Christ we are studying in the Gospel by John is the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
The greatest struggle of the early church occurred in the 4th Century when most of the church was under the false teaching of one of the ablest speakers and thinkers of the day - Arias. For a few years it seemed that his false doctrine would pollute the entire church. It was called arianism and held that Jesus was merely a created being and not God. In our times the JW's hold Araianism as their doctrine. Out of that dark hour when 93% of all the bishops (pastors of major churches) agreed with Arianism's false doctrine, one man stood up all alone. His name Athanasius. His statement "Athanasius contra mundum" or Athanasius against the whole world! He led the church council at Nicea (modern Istanbul) in a Bible Study in the year 325 AD that ended with them turning away from the Arian false teaching and affirming the Nicene Creed.
