Etymology
Meaning and Origin
"Homoiousios" is a theological term that refers to the relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ. It asserts that Christ is "of like substance" with the Father, but not identical in essence (consubstantial).
The term was first used by the Church Father Origen in the 3rd century to describe the relationship between God and Christ. However, it was not widely accepted until the First Council of Nicaea in 325, which adopted the Nicene Creed, which states that Christ is "begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father."
The term "homoiousios" was rejected by the Council of Constantinople in 381, which instead affirmed the consubstantiality (homoousia) of Christ with the Father. This remains the official doctrine of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
Usage
The term "homoiousios" is still used today by some Christian denominations, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses, who believe that Christ is of a similar but not identical nature to the Father.
