Anathemas against Arianism

Anathemas against Arianism were formal condemnations issued by church councils to oppose the teachings of Arius, a priest who claimed Jesus Christ was not fully divine but a created being. These condemnations declared such beliefs heretical, affirming that Jesus is true God and shares the same divine nature as God the Father. The anathemas aimed to preserve the core Christian doctrine of the Trinity and prevent misconceptions that could undermine salvation. Essentially, they were strong statements to clarify orthodox belief and distinguish it from teachings considered false or dangerous to Christian faith.
