What is Arianism?
Arianism
Is described as "(Theology) the doctrine of Arius, pronounced
heretical at the Council of Nicaea, which asserted that Christ was not
of one substance with the Father, but a creature raised by the Father
to the dignity of Son of God"
This means that Jesus was not of the same substance and is not
consubstantial with God the Father.
Jesus is not the Son of God, but a noble man or the highest of all
creation
"whereas Arius would teach that Jesus' human element is merely the material with
the Logos being the soul (no human soul), the Jehovah's Witnesses would teach
that Jesus was purely man, and as such, he did not possess a soul but he was a
living soul."
"Also, Arius believed Jesus should be worshipped whereas the Jehovah's Witnesses
teach that since one is to worship God alone Jesus should not be worshipped, since
he is merely a creature."
