Question

Note to moderator: read the answerline carefully before starting the question. Note to players: a specific answer is required. In his Historia Ecclesiastica, Socrates of Constantinople described this belief’s justification through the use of a syllogism. A verse stating “if you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to” a certain figure was used to uphold this belief in the Second Sirmian Creed; that verse is John 14:28. The Thalia, which espouses this belief, describes one figure as xenos or “foreigner” to another because of existing without a beginning. To oppose this belief at the Third Council of Toledo, where the (*) Visigoths renounced it, the word filioque was introduced to one text. This belief, which criticised the term (10[1])“homo·ousion”, was opposed (-5[2])by Athanasius and was condemned as heretical at the (10[1])First Council of Nicaea. For 10 points, give this belief named for an Alexandrian priest, holding that the Son was begotten within time by, and is subordinate to, the Father. ■END■ (0[2])

ANSWER: Arianism [accept answers mentioning Arius; prompt on subordinationism before “subordinate” is read; prompt on descriptions equivalent to e.g. the Son being begotten within time by the Father, or the Son being subordinate to the Father before read; anti-prompt on Anomoeanism, or Aetianism, or Eunomianism, or heteroousianism, or homoianism by asking “what more general belief were they a sect of?”; do not accept or prompt on “homoousianism” or “homoiousianism”] (The verse in the second line states “If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.”)
