The
identification of an unsound Monarchianism with Judaism is
illustrated in the 1st Apology of Justin Martyr, e.g. in
§ lxxxiii. (Reeves’ Trans.). “The Jews,
therefore, for maintaining that it was the Father of the Universe
who had the conference with Moses, when it was the very Son of God
who had it, and who is styled both Angel and Apostle, are justly
accused by the prophetic spirit and Christ Himself, for knowing
neither the Father nor the Son; for they who affirm the Son to be
the Father are guilty of not knowing the Father, and likewise of
being ignorant that the Father of the Universe has a Son, who, being
the Logos and First-begotten of God, is God.”
