Irenæus, I.
c. xxvii. says that Cerdo taught that the God of the Law and the
Prophets was not the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: for that He
is known, but the other unknown, and the one is just, but the other
good. Also III. c. 25, § 3: “Marcion himself,
therefore, by dividing God into two, and calling the one good, and the
other judicial, on both sides puts an end to Deity.”
Compare Tertullian, c. Marcion. I. 2, and 6; Origen,
c. Cels. iv. 54.
