"The First general Council - Nicea 325)
Arius's teaching knew he learned toward Subordinationism, but they were
not unduly upset about that.
Subordinationism had been implicit in 'Logos" Christology from the outset and
didn't mean a denial of the Word's divinity - Arius was not denying the existence
and exalted status of the 'Words: he was simply saying, so it seemed that the Father
is greater than the "Word"
By maintaining this, he claimed, he was countering the Sabellianism of Bishop
Alexander- At the Council at Sirmium in 375 the Arians nearly went too far.
The Creedal Statement issued there forbades the use of the word ''ousia'''at all when speaking of the Father & Son. It cited scriptural passaged that seemed to support a SUBORDINATIONIST view and laid the groundwoork for the Arians to state their basic conviction - 'The the Son is Unlike the Father.

Subordinationism is a doctrine which holds that Jesus is subordinate to God rather than being fully God. This is also termed Arianism after the deacon of Alexandria, Arius. Most streams of Christianity consider this to be incompatible with orthodox trinitarian belief.
