Arius
Arius was an early Christian priest and theologian from Alexandria, whose teachings sparked a major theological controversy in the early Church known as Arianism. He argued that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was not eternal and was created by the Father, which contradicted the mainstream Christian belief in the Trinity. His views led to the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, where his teachings were ultimately deemed heretical, resulting in the formulation of the Nicene Creed, which affirmed the co-eternity of the Son with the Father.
