Arianism

A Christological view that asserts that the Son of God was the first of God’s
creation.  He is the highest of created beings and was made before the world
began.

Arius’ Scriptural Arguments

Arius used four lines of scriptural reasoning to support his position: 

(1)  Passages that suggested that the Son was a creature; including  Prov
8:22 LXX (“The Lord created me”); Acts 2:36 (“God has made Him LORD and
Christ”); Rom 8:29 (“The first-born among many”); Col 1:15 (“The first-born of
all creation”); Heb 3:2 (“Who was faithful to Him who made Him.”).

(2)  Passages that represented God the Father as the sole veritable God;
including John 17:3 (“This is life eternal, that they should know Thee the only
true God, and Him whom Thou didst send, Jesus Christ”).

(3)  Passages that seemed to imply Christ’s inferiority to the Father.  John
14:28 (“The Father is greater than I.”)

(4)  Passages that attributed ignorance, weakness, suffering or development

to the Son of God; such as Matthew 24:36 ("no one knows the day or hour,
only the Father") and Luke 2:52 ("Jesus grew in wisdom and stature")

Arianism accepts Subordinationism, A theological doctrine that asserts that

the Son is inferior to the Father in essence and status.

Arianism accepts Sabellianism, A view of the nature of God that asserts that
God is one being and one person, who takes on different forms or
manifestations at various times: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  As such, it
denies the Trinity doctrine by denying that God eternally and simultaneously
exists as three persons.

Arius supported his views with other passages as well, like:

Matt 28:18 - And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mark 13:32 - But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Luke 18:19 - And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is
good, save one, that is, God.
John 5:19 - Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do:
for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
1 Cor 15:28 - And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the
Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God
may be all in all.
