Paragraph 1. THE SON OF GOD BECAME MAN

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

465
The first heresies denied not so much Christ’s divinity as his true humanity
(Gnostic Docetism). From apostolic times the Christian faith has insisted on
the true incarnation of God’s Son “come in the flesh”.⁸⁷ But
already in the third century, the Church in a council at Antioch had to affirm
against Paul of Samosata that Jesus Christ is Son of God by nature and not by
adoption. the first ecumenical council of Nicaea in 325 confessed in its Creed
that the Son of God is “begotten, not made, of the same substance
(homoousios) as the Father”, and condemned Arius, who had affirmed that
the Son of God “came to be from things that were not” and that he was
“from another substance” than that of the Father.⁸⁸
