Relating to or believing in Anomoeanism, a heretical Christian doctrine of the 4th century that denied any similarity between God the Father and God the Son.
From Greek 'a-' (not) + 'homoios' (similar), referring to the theological position that God and Christ are utterly unlike. This Greek-derived term names a specific early Christian controversy that divided church scholars.
The anomoeans were so strict in their theology that they insisted God and Jesus were completely unlike in substance—it caused massive church conflicts in the 300s! Meanwhile, other groups like the Homoians said they were 'like' (homoios), showing how a single Greek prefix changed entire Christian history.
