According to the teaching of Arius, the preexistent Logos and thus the incarnate Jesus Christ was a created being ; that only the Son was directly created and begotten by God the Father, before ages, but was of a distinct, though similar, essence or substance from the Creator ; his opponents argued that this would make Jesus less than God, and that this was heretical.
Much of the distinction between the differing factions was over the phrasing that Christ expressed in the New Testament to express submission to God the Father.
The theological term for this submission is kenosis.
This Ecumenical council declared that Jesus Christ was a distinct being of God in existence or reality ( hypostasis ), which the Latin fathers translated as persona.
Jesus was God in essence, being and or nature ( ousia ), which the Latin fathers translated as substantia.
