Arianism was one of the earliest major Christological heresies to arise. [[Arius]], in the third century BC, taught that Jesus was human, but not divine. This issue was addressed at the [[Council of Nicea]] and refuted. It was argued by church leaders that if Christ was not fully divine and sinless, then how could he offer a perfect sacrifice. Passages such as [[John 1:1]] were called upon as Biblical evidence of Jesus' deity.
Today, Arianism still exists. In religions such as ===[[Jehovah's WitnessesNestorianism]] and [[Christadelphianism]], Jesus is not believed to be God.===
