21.  We believe then In One Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, Begotten of His Father Very God Before All Worlds, by Whom All Things Were Made.  For whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things were made through Him Col. i. 16., and of things created none is exempted from His authority.  Silenced be every heresy which brings in different creators and makers of the world; silenced the tongue which blasphemes the Christ the Son of God; let them be silenced who say that the sun is the Christ, for He is the sun’s Creator, not the sun which we see Compare Cat. vi. 13, and xv. 3:  “Here let converts from the Manichees gain instruction, and no longer make those lights their gods; nor impiously think that this sun which shall be darkened is Christ.”.  Silenced be they who say that the world is the workmanship of Angels The creation of the world was ascribed to Angels by the Gnostics generally, e.g. by Simon Magus (Irenæus, adv. Hæres. I. xxiii. § 2), Menander (ibid. § 5), Saturninus (ibid. xxiv. 1), Basilides (ibid. § 3), Carpocrates (ibid. xxv. 1)., who wish to steal away the dignity of the Only-begotten.  For whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, or anything that is named, all things were made by Christ.  He reigns over the things which have been made by Him, not having seized another’s spoils, but reigning over His own workmanship, even as the Evangelist John has said, All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made John i. 3..  All things were made by Him, the Father working by the Son.
