The teaching of Arius, who maintained that Jesus Christ was a created being, that He was not eternal. He might be called "God" as a courtesy title, but He didn't share in the essence or being of the Father and thus was not truly God.

Arianism: a heresy holding that Jesus Christ was a mere created being and not equal with the Father, was and still is, rightly condemned . This heresy has been refuted early in Church History at the council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. However, in the 19th century it was revived by a quasi-Christian group called the Russelites A.K.A. Jehovah's Witnesses.

Know that Christ is the second Person of the Most Holy Trinity and to deny that is to bring condemnation on oneself...not by man - but by God Himself.
