Comment: I just now tried to learn more about Arius and his doctrines. It took a while to finally see that he didn't have an essentially correct understanding of the trinity of God.
I read about Arius just now, in this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arius
It was this paragraph that helped me see clearly that this is the case, with Arius:
"Arius emphasized the supremacy and uniqueness of God the Father, meaning that the Father alone is infinite and eternal and almighty, and that therefore the Father's divinity must be greater than the Son's. Arius taught that the Son had a beginning, contrary to Origen, who taught that the Son was less than the Father only in power, but not in time. Arius maintained that the Son possessed neither the eternity nor the true divinity of the Father, but was rather made "God" only by the Father's permission and power, and that the Logos was rather the very first and the most perfect of God's productions, before ages."
