"Communion Bread" from the 7th–8th Century A.D. Unearthed in Ermenek [Archaeology]

Excavations at Topraktepe (the ancient city of Eirenopolis) in Turkey's Ermenek district have brought to light five carbonised loaves of bread dating to the 7th–8th century A.D. One of them bears an image of Jesus Christ, together with a Greek inscription.

Luke’s Quotes

“when it comes to God, you attach an awe-inspiring solemnity to him, a transcendence of every substance and nature. What constitutes the unique nature of God’s deity, so to say, you ascribe to the Father but then rob the Son of it and make him subordinate. You give the Son a second level in quality and worship. Even if you endow him with the syllables which make up the word “similar,” you in fact truncate his Godhead, and make a mischievous transition from an homonymity maintaining equality to one connecting unequals.”
― Gregory of Nazianzus, On God and Christ: The Five Theological Orations and Two Letters to Cledonius

“So when did these last two originate? They transcend “whenness,” but if I must give a naive answer—when the Father did. When was that? There has not been a “when” when the Father has not been in existence. This, then, is true of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Put another question and I will answer it. Since when has the Son been begotten? Since as long as the Father has not been begotten.”
― Gregory of Nyssa, On God and Christ: The Five Theological Orations and Two Letters to Cledonius
