The 1st Council of the breakaway Coptic Christian Church of Alexandria in opposition to the Imperial Christian Church of Constantinople. Falsely and deliberately named the 4th ecumenical council to imply co-operation between pre-Catholic christian faiths. |
|
|
Spiritual Background |
|
|
The Council of Ephesus was held in Ephesus, Asia Minor in 431 under Emperor Theodosius II, grandson of Theodosius the Great. Approximately 200 Bishops were present. The proceedings were conducted in a heated atmosphere of confrontation and recriminations. It was the Third Ecumenical Council. It was chiefly concerned with Nestorianism.
|
|
|
Nestorianism emphasized the human nature of Jesus at the expense of the divine. |
|
| |
The Council denounced the teachings of Pope Nestorius, Bishop of Constantinople as erroneous. Nestorius taught that Mary, the mother of Jesus gave birth to a man, Jesus, not God, the Logos (The Word, Son of God). The Logos only dwelled in Christ, as in a Temple (Christ, therefore, was only Theophoros, Greek for the "Bearer of God". Consequently, Mary should be called Christotokos, Greek for the "Mother of Christ" and not Theotokos, Greek for the "Mother of God." |
|
| |
The Council decreed that Jesus was one person, not two separate "people": complete God and complete man, with a rational soul and body. The Virgin Mary is Theotokos because she gave birth not to a man but to God as a man. The union of the two natures of Christ took place in such a fashion that one did not disturb the other.

Key canons (church laws) |
|
|
The following key church laws were passed: |
|
|
Canon 1 decreed a heretic named Celestius (so Scholion), anathema.
|
|
| |
Canon 2-5 decreed Nestorianism anathema.
|
|
| |
Canon 6 decreed those who do not abide by the canons of Ephesus are excommunicated.
|
|
| |
Canon 7 decreed those who do not abide by Nicaea are anathema.
|
|
| |
Canon 8: "Let the rights of each province be preserved pure and inviolate. No attempt to introduce any form contrary to these shall be of any avail."

|
The first "great cleansing" of heresy and the attacks of the Germanic legions |
|
| |
The Vandals, Visigoths and Huns are all different names describing the same united set of tribes of Germania whose heritage descended from the ancient celts that populated Germany from Ireland many hundreds of years prior.
|
|
| |
These names were also used to hide the fact that these “tribes” were in fact the rebelling Germanic legions of the Roman Empire against the evil edicts of Theodosius the Great in 391 that launched the single largest and greatest wave of destruction of human history on record.
|
|
| |
Literally hundreds of thousands of priests, worshippers, supporters were murdered by mobs of Christians supporter by forces loyal to Flavius Theodosius across the Roman Empire, initially in particular across Western Europe which was initially under his control.
|
|
| |
The Vandals, Visigoths and Huns themselves had adopted the Arian beliefs of Christianity, a hybrid of Nazarene and Pauline beliefs (That God is almighty and that Jesus was inferior to God and created when he was human) in direct opposition to the pure Pauline Roman Christian doctrine of the trinity.
|
|
| |
The Legions of Germania united in disgust as the wave of evil unleashed by the Roman Catholic Church and rebelled under the leadership of Rugila, father of Attila.
|
|
| |
The united Germanic tribes of former Roman legions organized an audacious plan. The mobilized a highly trained and elite force under the leadership of commander Alarcic and attacked Rome in 410 CE to depose the Christian leadership and seek an end to the violence.
|
|
| |
They were only partially successful, effectively forcing the Roman Catholic Armies to regoup in Europe to return and defend Italy. However, the Roman Catholic church had just launched a systematic slaughter of the Donatists of North Africa, Egypt and Arabia, the spiritual descendents of the Nazarenes who survived the Jewish Wars and considered everything about Rome to be evil.
|
|
| |
The elimination of the African "Gnostic" problem and the disruption by the Germans |
|
| |
By 415 CE the Roman Catholic forces under order from the church had successfully murdered at least half a million people on their way to complete the “ground zero” goal of eliminating every last man, woman and child who adhered to Gnostic heresies.
|
|
| |
In response, the united Germanic tribes of former Roman legions organized an audacious plan and built a massive fleet with a force of around 80,000 trained troops and invaded Northern Africa to liberate the population from further slaughter at the hand of the Roman Catholic Church.
|
|
| |
They invaded around 429 and successfully fought back the forces of Christian Rome and saved the hundreds of thousands of survivors.
|
|
| |
However, this left both Europe and Ireland exposed and Rome used this opportunity to launch its own offensive to wipe Ireland and the complete heretical society of the ancient Irish kings and descendents of Jesus off the map.
|
|
| |
The counter attack and the "elimination" of the Irish problem by the Catholic Church |
|
|
The Council was briefed that a large number of dangerous texts and evidence exposing the lies of the church had made their way for safe keeping to the "Fisher Kings" (High Kings) of Ireland some forty years previous. |
|
| |
Pope Celestine through his representatives appealled for the support of the council to provide material aid and soldiers and the report of previously unsuccessful visit to Nazarene/Arian Christian Ireland. |
|
| |
At the time of receiving the Council support as well as authorisation of the Emperor Patricius Palladius ("Patrick) was forty-five. As son of Exuperantius of Poitiers, the Praetorian prefect of the Gallic provinces killed in mutiny by his troops in 424, he was both a dedicated christian mercenary and trusted soldier of the Emperor. |
|
| |
Unlike his previous smaller attempt to seek and destroy heretics and their works, Patricius ("Patrick") was given authority and an army of some thousands of the legion as well as assorted christian mercenaries to "conquer" Ireland and eliminate all form of Nazarene/Arian heresy. |
|
| |
It is almost certain Patricius would have been called as a witness to testify to the Council as to what he had seen when held "political" prisoner. After the council, Pope Celestine ordained him a bishop. |
|
| |
It appears that by the time of his death around 461, Patrick had been so successful in eliminating all history and written texts across Ireland as well as murdering every intelligent person they could find (except the High King as mere figurehead) that to this day, modern historians believe the lie that Ireland before Patrick were both pagans as well as had no written language nor books. |
|
|
Ireland represents the first successful mass campaign of genocide for the church of christianity, of which an unknown number of some tens of thousands of people were slaughtered. |
|
|
Following and leading up to the genocide of Ireland under Patrick, a number of the ancient Nazarene/Irish bloodline escaped to France under the protection of Childeric I and thereafter the bloodline also continued through Clovis I and later the Merovingian Kings. |
