Against Marconites ctd...

Irenaeus continues his critique of the Marconites summarizing two key themes:
(1) Their belief that the creator of the world is not the "invisible father"
(2) Their complex schemes of redemption which centre around the concept of salvation through knowledge from ignorance towards perfection.

Against this Irenaeus sets the "rule of truth" which affirms God as the creator.
