(256-336 A.D.) Greek Christian priest and theologian of Alexandria (Egypt) who claimed that Jesus was the first created being but was not God or divine (he was venerated for his asceticism)
Arius
Arius (
Berber:
Aryus ; , AD 250 or 256–336) was a
Christian presbyter and
ascetic of
Libyan birth, possibly of
Berber extraction, and
priest in
Alexandria, Egypt, of the church of the
Baucalis. His teachings about the nature of the
Godhead, which emphasized the
Father's divinity over the Son, and his
opposition to what would become the dominant
Christology,
Homoousian Christology, made him a primary topic of the
First Council of Nicea, convened by
Roman Emperor Constantine in AD 325.

Arian Heresy
Arian Heresy Originated by Arius (d. 336), a presbyter in Alexandria who did not confuse the cosmic Logos with its ray on earth, the Christ entity, whose human expression was called Jesus. Arius could not accept a consubstantial trinity with the human Son as the first or second remove from its Father aspect -- he made a sharp distinction between the three Logoi and any human expression of such logoic triad manifesting on earth as an inspired man. Arius in consequence taught that God was alone, unknowable, and separate from every created being; that the Son, or creative Logos was created by God, who through this Logos brought forth the world and all that is in it. He held, therefore, that Christ was not God in the fullest sense and should be worshiped as a secondary deity, and that at the incarnation the Logos assumed a body but not a human soul. Arianism was condemned as heretical at the Councils of Nicaea (325) and Constantinople (381).
