Arians, followers of the theological beliefs associated with Arius, a Christian priest in the early 4th century, believed that Jesus Christ was distinct from and subordinate to God the Father. They argued that Jesus, while divine, was created by the Father and therefore not co-eternal or of the same substance as God. This belief fundamentally opposed the orthodox view of the Trinity, which holds that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are of one essence. The Arian controversy played a significant role in shaping early Christian doctrine and led to the formulation of the Nicene Creed.
