Enligt Arius och Marcellus från Ancyra är treenighetskonceptet
(som man också ansåg vara heretiskt) en produkt av juden philo och kabbalist-greken plato's filosofiska läror genom kabbalist-gnostikern Valentinius. Det är alltså från gnostikern Valentinius som treenighetsläran om tre hypostaser först dyker upp någon gång i början av 100 talets decennium.
Valentinius som på 100 talet kandiderade för att bli Roms biskop startade så småningom sin egna församling/kyrka med egna läror. Hans teologiska koncept visade sig senare bli väldigt resultatrikt och fick stort fotfäste i hela det romerska riket. Från Alexandria, ända bort till nordvästra Afrika och Rom.
Arius brev till biskopen Alexander av Alexandria:
Citat:
"Our faith from our forefathers, which also we learned from you, Blessed Father, is this: We acknowledge One God, alone unbegotten, alone everlasting, alone without beginning, alone true, alone having immortality, alone wise, alone good, alone sovereign, judge, governor, and provider of all, unalterable and unchangeable, just and good, God of the Law and the Prophets and the New Testament; who begat an only-begotten Son before time and the ages, through whom he made both the ages [Heb 1:2] and all that was made; who begot Him not in appearance, but in reality; and that he made him subsist at his own will, unalterable and unchangeable, the perfect creature (ktisma) of God, but not as one of the creatures; offspring, but not as one of the other things begotten; (3.) nor as Valentinus pronounced that the offspring of the Father was an emanation (probolē); nor as the Manicheans taught that the offspring was a one-in-essence-portion (meros homoousion) of the Father; nor as Sabellius, dividing the Monad, speaks of a Son-Father; nor as Hieracas speaks of one torch [lit] from another, or as a lamp divided into two; nor that he who existed before was later generated or created anew into a Son, as you yourself, O blessed father, have often condemned both in church services and in council meetings; but, as we say, he was created at the will of God, before time and before the ages, and came to life and being from the Father, and the glories which coexist in him are from the Father.

Marcellus från Ancyra i sina brev:
Citat:
"Now with the heresy of the Ariomaniacs, which has corrupted the Church of God... These then teach three hypostases, just as Valentinus the heresiarch first invented in the book entitled by him 'On the Three Natures'. For he was the first to invent three hypostases and three persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and he is discovered to have filched this from Hermes and Plato."
Enligt den ökände kyrkofadern Iraneus var gnostiskt Valentinianism rent trams som hotade kristendomen med dess mystiska djävuls läror. Det framgår i hans bok
On the Detection and Overthrow of the So-Called Gnosis.
Enligt Valentinius krävdes det att man genom invigning erkände att demiurgen inte är Gud eller den högsta gudomen. Hör och häpna, man hävdade också att Sophia analogt med människornas själar också var Guds feminina sida. Vad som senare förvånade mig så avsevärt är hur Valentinius skyddar judarna.
Citat:
"Valentinus meets with the exiled Jews in Sepphoris and publicly in a sermon refutes the claim by some Christians that the Jewish exile from Jerusalem is divine punishment for the Jews' role in the Crucifixion. Valentinus states "no Jew or Roman is too be held responsible for Christ's death, since it was God's plan of reconciliation for humanity unto himself, the barrier is gone the curtain torn." Valentinus also however defends his cosmology, with his aspects of God. Some educated Jews do listen intently. Generations later Jewish intellectuals influenced by Valentinus constructed a similar model within Jewish Kabbalah. Returning to his home city in Alexandria the Bishop also meets with great Pagan teachers in the Serapium telling them, Christianity is in agreement with the ideas of Plato, and secretly tells them that St. Paul was a Platonist. Impressed the teachers listen to Valentinus but choose to remain in the Pagan camp. One of the people their is a Carthage native Apuleius who tells Valentinus that his Myth of Sophia is similar to an old myth of Eros and Psyche."
Judarna är återigen på spåret. Jag lovar er, jag har själv tröttnat på jude konspirationerna men det går inte riktigt att undgå att var man än hittar ondska hittar man också en jude i hörnet.
