Excerpt
Excerpt: Alexander thus maintains the beginningless, eternal co-existence of Father and Son: the Father is never to be thought of without the Son who springs from the Father. It is not improbable that Alexander was led thus to give prominence to the one side of the Logos doctrine of Origen, owing to the influence of the theology of Irenaeus or Melito. The doctrine which Arius opposed to this is above all dominated by the thought that God, the Only One, is alone eternal, and that besides Him there exists only what is created, and that this originates in His will, that accordingly the Son also is not eternal, but a creation of God out of the non-existent. From this thesis there necessarily follows the rejection of the predicate for the Son. Arius and his friends already before the Council of Nicaea give expression to it, incidentally indeed, but without ambiguity.
