Theodotus held the profession of a leatherworker or fuller in Byzantium.
He taught that Jesus was a non-divine man and, though later "adopted" by God upon baptism (that is to say, he became the Christ), was not himself God until after his resurrection.
[2] This doctrine, sometimes called "Dynamic Monarchianism" or "Adoptionism", was declared heretical by Pope Victor I, and Theodotus was excommunicated.
