Arian(as a historical religious position): A follower of Arius, an early Christian who believed Jesus was created by God and subordinate to God the Father, rather than being equal and eternal like God.
Conceptual or universal unity(as a philosophical concept about how things relate to each other): The idea that different things can be considered 'one' because they share the same concept or category, rather than being physically or fundamentally the same thing.
Condemned(theological ethics): In religious contexts, judged as guilty or deserving punishment, typically for sin or moral wrongdoing.
Council of Nicaea(as a historical religious event): An important church council held in 325 CE where Christian leaders officially decided that God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all equally divine and eternal—rejecting Arian and similar views.
