The Didache
These are the "two ways" in the opening of the Didache.
The way of LIFE and the way of DEATH
It's the Greek word for "happiness" in Aristotle.
EUDAIMONIA
"There was a time when He was not."
ARIANISM
When he was martyred, a lovely smell like baking bread arose.
POLYCARP
This council was presided over by Constantine in 325, even though he was still unbaptized.
(first) NICEA
DAILY DOUBLE!
This is the best kind of water to baptize in, according to the Didache.
The Stoics considered this to be sufficient for happiness.
VIRTUE (arete)
"Before the incarnation, there were two natures. After the incarnation, I acknowledge only one nature."
EUTYCHIANISM
Many times, he tells the churches to "do nothing without the bishop."
IGNATIUS
This council of 451 confessed Christ's natures to be "without confusion," thus banning Eutychianism.
CHALCEDON
You know someone is a false prophet if he asks for this.
MONEY or FOOD for himself
In the Nicomachean Ethics, it refers to self-control or the ability to resist one's own desires.
CONTINENCE
Christ was like us in his lower parts, but his rational soul was replaced by the divine Logos.
APOLLINARIANISM
He is the third bishop of Rome after Peter and Linus.
CLEMENT
St. Cyril refuted Nestorianism before this council of 430 adopted his "Tome" as true Christology.
EPHESUS
The Didache's eucharistic liturgy contains no mention of this important event.
JESUS'S DEATH
The Stoics and Epicureans thought that the best way to happiness was ataraxia, or freedom from this.
DISTURBANCE (vel sim)
He changed Matthew 5:17 to read, "I have not come to fulfill the law, but to abolish it."
MARCION
He was only a deacon at the first council of Nicea, where he assisted his bishop, Alexander in defending orthodox Trinitarianism.
ATHANASIUS
The Nicene Creed that we recite is actually the expanded version adopted by this 381 council, the second after Nicea.
(first council of) CONSTANTINOPLE
The Didache says that traveling prophets and teachers should only stay this many days.
TWO
This is the rational part of a human being, the Greek word for "spirit."
PNEUMA
DAILY DOUBLE!
The Gospel of Thomas embodies this heresy, teaching that salvation is by knowledge, and that the body and its functions, especially women's functions, are evil.
It is sometimes included in copies of the New Testament, and relates five mystical visions given to a Christian slave.
The SHEPHERD of HERMAS
Nicea used this word as a shibboleth to weed out Arians, who rejected it or inserted an extra "i" into it.
