early fourth century Arius, a presbyter of the Church of Alexandria, Origen accepted theory as to the Logos, with the exception of not recognize any intermediate between God and created beings.
inferred that the Son is not divine in any sense, but strictly a creature, but the most sublime and first of all, and that therefore "there was [a time] when they do not exist."
taught that there is only one Being - the Father - whom you can attribute a timeless existence, that the Father created the Son of nowhere and before he was begotten by an act of
will of the Father, Son did not exist.
to Arius, Christ was not truly human because he had a human soul, nor was truly divine, because he lacked the essence and attributes of God. It was just the most sublime of all created beings. The man, Jesus, was chosen to be the Christ by virtue of his victory, that God by his prescience known.
The First Council of Nicea, convened in 325 AD C. to resolve the Arian controversy, Athanasius presented as the "father of orthodoxy", arguing that Christ always existed and that did not come from nowhere but it was after the very essence of the Father.
the term applied to Christ ὁμοούσιος [homoousios], "a substance" ("same substance"), the council affirmed its belief that he is one and the same essence as the Father.
ὁμοούσιος [ homoousios ] could not have understood otherwise.

The council anathematized Arianism and Sabellianism as the two major deviations from the truth accurate, and stated that it denied the unity of the Godhead while defending the Trinity, nor denied the Trinity when he defended the unit.
why the Nicene Creed affirms that the Son is "begotten of the Father, [...], the substance of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial the Father. " This creed became the crucial test of Trinitarian orthodoxy.
Arians rejected the council's decision, appealed to the schism and for several centuries Arianism proved the most formidable enemy of the Roman Catholic Church.
After the First Council of Nicea, a group sometimes called Semi-Arians, also harassed the church. Your keyword was ὁμοιούσιος [ homoiousios ] , with which he described the son as a "like substance" to the Father, in contrast to ὁμοούσιος [ homoousios ] the Nicene Creed.
Apolinar and Marcelo were prominent among the opponents of orthodoxy after the Council of Nicea. Both claimed the true unity of the divine and human in Christ, but denied their very humanity, asserting that the divine made human nature of Jesus as a passive instrument.
These various problems resulted in another council held at Constantinople in 381. This council reaffirmed the Nicene Creed, clarified its meaning, and declared the real presence of the two natures in Christ.
