Aetius' believed that God was ingenerate, meaning that he was greater than anyone else who had existed, including Jesus 9.

He seems to find it logically impossible for this to occur and continues to state that if the ingenerate was generated, then how does this prevent the generate from being ingenerate 20.

This is further outlined by his arguments about ingeneracy when he states that if the ingenerate Deity is superior to everything, then he must be superior to the ability to be 'generated', therefore he was never created from anything else, and he cannot re-create himself or re-generate himself into being Jesus 18.
