Ari donte të theksonte njerëzinë e vërtetë të Jezusit kundër pikëpamjes së Aleksandrit që i dukej e pamjaftueshme, sepse theksonte pandjeshmërinë e Perëndisë. Duke marrë parasysh sfondin filosofik platoniktë asaj kohe, e vetmja mënyrë për të bërë këtë, ishte ta ulte Jezusin në nivelin e një njeri të krijuar.
Arianism (Koine Greek: Ἀρειανισμός, Areianismós) is a Christological doctrine considered heretical by all modern mainstream branches of Christianity. It is first attributed to Arius ( c. AD 256–336 ), [1] [3] [4] a Christian presbyter who preached and studied in Alexandria , Egypt . [1]
The early Arians are best seen as biblical exegetes concerned with preserving their view of the creaturely nature of the Christ of the Gospels—a Christ who struggled, suffered, died on a cross—as the prototypical obedient servant of God and as the instrument of God in creating and redeeming the universe.

Although Arianism carries Arius's name, its doctrines did not entirely originate with him. Lucian of Antioch, Arius's teacher and mentor, was accused by Bishop Alexander of Alexandria of being the source for Arius's heretical teachings—not so much that Lucian had taught Arianism per se, but rather that he held certain heretical tendencies which he ...
As stated above, Arius denied the full deity of the preexistent Son of God, the Logos who became incarnate as our Lord Jesus Christ ("the Word (Jesus Christ) became flesh" John 1:14 - NKJV). He held that the Son, while divine and like unto God, was created by God as the agent through whom He created the universe; thus that there was a time when the...
While Arius developed a following among some Syrian prelates, an Alexandrian synod of some 100 bishops summoned by Bishop Alexander condemned him in 321. He was excommunicated, and fled to Palestine. There he entered into a friendship with Eusebius of Nicomedia. Arius, a proficient writer, produced many compositions in both prose and verse defendin...
Although the ecumenical council had spoken, Arianism continued to exert itself in the Church long afterwards, almost to the end of the fourth century. This was often the fault of the Roman emperors, including Constantine (who vaciliated between Arius and his opponents to the end of his life), and most notably Constantius, who succeeded him. During ...
Today, a so-called "Holy Arian Catholic and Apostolic Church" in England claims to proclaim Arius's teachings, even "canonizing" him in 2006. However, this body differs with its namesake on several crucial points, including its rejection of the Virgin Birth and Resurrection of Christ, which Arius himself never questioned. The Jehovah's Witnesses an...
Christianity originated with the ministry of Jesus, a Jewish teacher and healer who proclaimed the imminent Kingdom of God. He was crucified and died c. AD 30–33 in Jerusalem in the Roman province of Judea. Afterwards, his followers, a set of apocalyptic Jews, proclaimed him risen from the dead.
