| | Arianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Arianism was a Christological view held by followers of Arius, a Christian priest who lived and taught in Alexandria, Egypt, in the early 4th century. | | | The conflict between Arianism and the Trinitarian beliefs was the first major doctrinal confrontation in the Church after the legalization of Christianity by Emperor Constantine I. | | | The letter of Auxentius[1], a 4th century Arian bishop of Milan, regarding the missionary Ulfilas, gives the clearest picture of Arian beliefs on the nature of the Trinity: God the Father ("unbegotten"), always existing, was separate from the lesser Jesus Christ ("only-begotten"), born before time began and creator of the world. |

| | Arianism |
| | Arianism dealt mainly with the nature of Jesus, proclaiming that he was not divine but a created being, breaking the divine link of Father and Son. | | | Arianism was therefore dealing mainly with the question of the oneness of God as well as to immutability of God; Jesus went through the cycles of a human being, including both a normal birth and death, and he was also of a different matter than God. | | | A new creed, in the middle between Arianism and the Nicene orientation, generally labelled Semi-Arianism, is approved at Constantinople, claiming that Jesus was "like the Father who begot him." What differed the Semi-Arianists from the Nicene was that they were less clear about Jesus and God being of the same substance. |

| | Arianism |
| | Arianism was a 4th-century Christian heresy named for Arius (c.250-c.336), a priest in Alexandria. | | | Led by Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, the council condemned Arianism and stated that the Son was consubstantial (of one and the same substance or being) and coeternal with the Father, a belief formulated as homoousios ("of one substance") against the Arian position of homoiousios ("of like substance"). | | | The orthodox counterattack on Arianism pointed out that the Arian theology reduced Christ to a demigod and in effect reintroduced polytheism into Christianity, since Christ was worshiped among Arians as among the orthodox. |

| | What is Arianism? |
| | Arianism, then, is the view that Jesus was a created being with divine attributes, but not divine in and of Himself. | | | Arianism misunderstands references to Jesus being tired (John 4:6) and not knowing the date of His return (Matthew 24:36). | | | Since that time, Arianism has never been accepted as a viable doctrine of the Christian faith. |

| | Arianism was the teaching of Arius, a priest in the Alexandrian church. | | | These churches claim to be reconstructions or new manifestations of the ancient church. | | | This is as nonsensical as teaching that Queen Elizabeth refers to a mortal Elizabeth who has a contact in the spirit world called Queen.) Gnosticism may have been a contributing factor in the origin of Arianism. |

| | Dennis's History of Christianity / Heresies: Arianism |
| | Arianism is often mistaken for a form of Gnosticism; but at no time did Paul of Samosata, Arius of Alexandria, or any of their successors teach a secret, mystical doctrine of the Gnostic style. | | | Also, Arianism seems to have coincided more neatly with the "mystery religions" that were practiced in the west. | | | Arianism finally died, in the west, when the Bishops of Rome, the Popes, sought ascendancy over the rest of the Church. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Arianism |
| | A heresy which arose in the fourth century, and denied the Divinity of Jesus Christ. | | | Origen himself, whose unadvised speculations were charged with the guilt of Arianism, and who employed terms like "the second God," concerning the Logos, which were never adopted by the Church -- this very Origen taught the eternal Sonship of the Word, and was not a Semi-Arian. | | | To him the Logos, the Son, and Jesus of Nazareth were one ever-subsisting Divine Person, begotten of the Father, and, in this way, "subordinate" to the source of His being. |

| | When the power of Arianism was manifested in those first years of the official Christian Empire and its universal government throughout the Graeco-Roman world, Arianism became the nucleus or centre of many forces which would be, of themselves, indifferent to its doctrine. | | | Arianism (I will later describe the origin of the name) was willing to grant our Lord every kind of honour and majesty short of the full nature of the Godhead. | | | On this account, because the spirit which had underlain Arianism (the doubt on the full divinity of Christ) went on, there arose a number of what may be called "derivatives'' from Arianism; or "secondary forms'' of Arianism. |

| | Religious cults and sects, doctrines and practices - Arianism |
| | Arianism is an heretical error regarding the Trinity, denying the deity of Christ. | | | Origen took this further by teaching that the Son was subordinate to the Father ''in respect to essence.'' The result was ultimately Arianism which denied the deity of Christ. | | | Arius taught that only God was the uncreated One; because Christ was begotten of the Father it meant Christ was created by the Father. |

| | Arianism And The Nicene Creed - Bible Truth Discussion Forum |
| | The precise definition of Arianism has been further obscured by a rather unhelpful argument from Jaroslav Pelikan, who claims that the Arians literally worshipped Christ (just as their opponents did.) The theological implications of his argument necessitate a temporary digression, which now follows. | | | Indeed, it is estimated that at one point Arianism was confessed by at least thirty percent of the church. | | | Though known today as “Arianism”, we shall see that this heretical belief had actually been expressed in various forms by early church fathers of good repute using similar and (in some cases) identical language. |

| | Arianism and Semi-Arianiam (No. 167) |
| | We thus see that the Arians misapprehended the role of the Spirit and made it a creature of the Son when in fact the Holy Spirit was the means by which Christ could achieve his divinity. | | | The semi-Arians acquiesced in the question of the co-eternal co-equal son but held the Holy Spirit to be a creation of both. | | | There is a tendency among Trinitarians, largely through ignorance based on orthodox propaganda, to confuse Unitarianism and Arianism as the same theological viewpoint. |
