The Arian concept of Christ is that the Son of God did not always exist, but was created by — and is therefore distinct from — God the Father.

Arians taught that the pre-incarnate Jesus was a divine being created by ( and therefore inferior to ) God the Father at some point, before which the Son did not exist.

The letter of Auxentius, a 4th-century Arian bishop of Milan, regarding the missionary Ulfilas, gives the clearest picture of Arian beliefs on the nature of the Trinity: God the Father (" unbegotten "), always existing, was separate from the lesser Jesus Christ (" only-begotten "), born before time began and creator of the world.

The Father, working through the Son, created the Holy Spirit, who was subservient to the Son as the Son was to the Father.

The Father was seen as " the only true God ".

In 321, Arius was denounced by a synod at Alexandria for teaching a heterodox view of the relationship of Jesus to God the Father.

Arius taught that Jesus Christ was divine and was sent to earth for the salvation of mankind but that Jesus Christ was not equal to the Father ( infinite, primordial origin ) and to the Holy Spirit ( giver of life ).

Under Arianism, Christ was instead not consubstantial with God the Father since both the Father and the Son under Arius were made of " like " essence or being ( see homoiousia ) but not of the same essence or being ( see homoousia ).

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 Roman Catholic Church has excommunicated one of its priests, Father Feeney, for insisting that there is no salvation outside the visible church.

Franz Boas, one of the pioneers of modern anthropology, often called the " Father of American Anthropology "

Furthermore, although one God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct from each other.

Their offices were compatible with other offices, i. e. they can hold two benefices or offices at one and the same time, some conferred by the Cardinal Vice-Chancellor, others by the Holy Father.

Adoptionism is one of two main forms of monarchianism ( the other is modalism, which regards " Father " and " Son " as two historical or soteriological roles of a single divine Person ).

Adoptionism was one position in a long series of Christian disagreements about the precise nature of Christ ( see Christology ) in the developing dogma of the Trinity, an attempt to explain the relationship between Jesus of Nazareth, both as man and God, and God the Father while confidently claiming to be uncompromisingly monotheistic.

Athanasius is counted as one of the four Great Doctors of the Church in the Roman Catholic Church as well as one of the Great Doctors of the Church in Eastern Orthodoxy, where he is also labeled the " Father of Orthodoxy ".

Trinity refers to the teaching that the one God comprises three distinct, eternally co-existing persons ; the Father, the Son ( incarnate in Jesus Christ ), and the Holy Spirit.

In the words of the Athanasian Creed, an early statement of Christian belief, " the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God ".

He argues against the idea that Christians should reject their family for an ascetic life, which stems from Luke, contending that Jesus would not have contradicted the precept to " Honour thy Father and thy Mother " ( Exodus ), one of the Ten Commandments.

In those three there is one, and in that one there are three ; the one God is indivisible, while the three persons are distinct and unconfused, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
