The central issue in the Arian-Nicene controversy was about the relationship between God the Father and God the Son.[1]The controversy was particularly between Arian and Athanasius, both theological thespians in the advent of Christianity. The deep divisions shown by both parties were due to the need by Emperor Constantine to establish a single Christian ideology. The differences resulted in the establishment of the First Council of Nicaea, partly to sit and try to get a common ideology of the theological issue. The council comprised of theologians and other church dignitaries with the intention to deliberate and reach a common doctrine for the christen faithful. From the first council set up by Constantine, there had been a total of 21 councils, all trying to build a common doctrine for the christen church. All of these councils were involved in one way or the other in trying to find a common Christian doctrine.
When Christianity was introduced in the Roman Empire, adherents had not developed any doctrine which would identify their religion. At the same time, there were too many issues regarding the interpretations of various issues, which they needed to find common ground. Issues emerged when theologians tried to interpret the divine and human aspects of Christ. That was hard to do without making references to the pagan ideologies.
