" This is derived from Arian belief as Islamm is to a large extent a Christian heresy."
I do wish more people understood this.
Why should more people understand it? That definition is how you say in In-gleesh? Wrong.
The Arianism "heresy" was given that status about 300 years before the birth of what's his name. That "heresy" began within 100 years of the time Jesus and within 100 miles of Jerusalem. Arianism WAS the belief that Jesus was not born divine but ascended to Divinity. There was no need for Him to ascend to divinity. Man is divine by his very nature, it happened when God formed him from the Earth, in His own image and breathed life into Adam.
Just setting the record straight. Oh BTW, the seed for Arianist belief was obviously the result of Hindu or Buddhist missionaries in the Middle East.

Actually I would have thought that Buddhist teachings were behind Gnosticism, not Arianism.
