I believe in the trinity- in God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I further believe that all these three beings are similar in nature, as espoused by the Nicaean view. None of them is subordinate to the other. Consequently, I believe in the 381 creed, one that is affirmative of the trinity and of the nature of God as the father, the son and the Holy Spirit. This is a view that Arius highly objects to through his theism doctrine, asserting that God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are three different individuals. He thought that the trinity existed, well right, but then, there are not of the same substance, and thus, not of a homoousious nature. Read More

In his lifetime, Aristotle wrote on various subjects, including chemistry, biology, logic, and ethics. The Nicomachean ethics is by far the most popular work by Aristotle.

According to him, friendship can be categorized into three classes namely, friendship of pleasure, friendship of utility, and virtuous friendship. Aristotle maintains that we need to attach a lot of value to friendship seeing that it is completely virtuous, and that it ranks above justice and honor. Aristotle has further broken down the theories of friendship into three different kinds of love. These are self-love of pleasure and self-love of utility, both of which become selfish (Walker, 1979).
