Arianism Heresy #1 FaithCapo.com Lectures

Arianism is a fourth‐century heresy within the Church. This heresy affirmed Christ to be divine, but not in the same full sense in which God the Father is divine. Arius, in his doctrine, stated that the Son of God is not of the same substance as God the Father but was created as an agent for creating the world. The Nicene Creed emerged out of this controversy and properly defined Christ as being of one substance with the God the Father.
