Arius argued that the divine Triad was composed of three separate and distinct
realities, and that Jesus Christ was of created, finite nature. In other words, a man. Arius’
major work, Thalia (meaning “banquet”), was first publicized in 323 CE and created such

but on the other hand he humbled himself before his Creator in worship. To his
followers, Jesus defined himself as nothing more than a man and a prophet.
2. The disciples agreed, and acknowledged Jesus Christ as a man and a prophet.
3. The only New Testament verse (1 Timothy 3:16) held to support the doctrine
of Incarnation is corrupt—even more, if it can be imagined, than the widely
discredited John 1:14 and Colossians 2:9.
4. The Bible describes the life and history of Jesus in terms which can...
