Arius was an Arian of note that started an Arian controversy. the controversy was over what John had said, "In the beginning was the Word"- . Arius took this to mean that the Word was the greatest that came from God. Those opposing him felt that the Word was one with God. After much debate, the question truly came down to ; Was Jesus truly God or was He only the greatest being God had ever created?
The "brilliant Arian" mentioned was not named. Neither was the brave African that gave such a spirit filled speech given his name. We do know that the Spirit of the Lord moved so strongly in that arena that the speech convinced all present that Jesus was one with God in the Holy Trinity.
I hope this clears up the blog some....it was a little confusing and I apologize.
Blessings to all, and thank you for bring this to my attention!
