Details in Theology given to Semi-Arianism
==Theology==
==Theology==
Responding to a very Platonistic presentation of Jesus Christ (in which our and his real entities are somewhere else like a puppet master) by the sect of the Gnostics, Arius presented a very human Jesus Christ: a [[Jesus Christ]] that was human "except as the scriptures declare". This means that Jesus Christ had no existence prior to his conception; a Jesus Christ that was human as we are except in ways that were specifically declared by the Scriptures, such as: "No man taketh [my life] from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father."<ref>https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/jhn/10/18/s_1007018</ref>

This belief of '''Arianism''' while rejected by the councils, morphed into a system known as '''Semi-Arianism'''. While in classic Arianism, Christ had no existence prior to his conception on Earth, in Semi-Arianism Christ was "the only begotten of the Father" in the eternities past and was then incarnated amongst humanity in the person of Jesus Christ.
