145 IV, 3 | to be distinguished. When Marcion complains that apostles

149 IV, 4 | TRUTH IN SUCH A MATTER. MARCION'S PRETENSIONS AS AN AMENDER
150 IV, 4 | Gospel is the true one; Marcion, that his is. I affirm that
151 IV, 4 | that his is. I affirm that Marcion's Gospel is adulterated;
152 IV, 4 | s Gospel is adulterated; Marcion, that mine is. Now what
153 IV, 4 | to be the older one, and Marcion's the later, ours should

155 IV, 4 | property of ourselves and Marcion enables it to be decisive
156 IV, 4 | receive is so much older than Marcion, that Marcion, himself once
157 IV, 4 | older than Marcion, that Marcion, himself once believed it,
158 IV, 4 | it be also current with Marcion), is the very one which,
159 IV, 4 | is the very one which, as Marcion argues in his Antitheses,
160 IV, 4 | first presented himself in Marcion alone so long looked for
161 IV, 4 | apostles without the support of Marcion! But for all that, heresy,

163 IV, 4 | not "above his master;" if Marcion be an apostle, still as

181 IV, 7 | of Tiberius (for such is Marcion's proposition) he "came

183 IV, 7 | rather to fulfil them; for Marcion has erased the passage as
184 IV, 7 | we are come, do at once." Marcion must even expunge from the
185 IV, 8 | OFFERS, THE DOCETIC ERRORS OF MARCION ARE EXPOSED.~The Christ
186 IV, 8 | account, because it behoved Marcion's Christ to have forborne
187 IV, 8 | being feared: only that Marcion says that his god is not
188 IV, 9 | to appoint the shipmaster Marcion his apostle. We have indeed
189 IV, 9 | Antitheses, that the position of Marcion derives no advantage from
190 IV, 9 | compendious efficacy. Even Marcion finds here an antithesis:
191 IV, 9 | powerful than his servant! Why, Marcion, do you lay down the rule,
192 IV, 9 | adulator of his own Christ, Marcion seeks to exclude under the
193 IV, 9 | as inconstant-provided, Marcion, I drive you from your position.
194 IV, 10 | On what principle you, Marcion, can admit Him Son of man,
195 IV, 10 | occasioned. And therefore, if Marcion's Christ be also said to
196 IV, 10 | of Christ's body, against Marcion's phantoms. Since He is
197 IV, 10 | or without brains, like Marcion himself, than without a
198 IV, 10 | than without a body, like Marcion's Christ. And let this be
199 IV, 11 | in so far as he is one of Marcion's god-made men, having to
200 IV, 11 | fashion occur all things in Marcion's system. They have their
201 IV, 11 | Himself the church. Deny now, Marcion, your utter madness, (if
202 IV, 12 | sure) it has happened that Marcion acquired his very perverse
203 IV, 12 | the charge against Him. Marcion sophistically interprets
204 IV, 12 | to fulfil it," although Marcion has gagged His mouth by
205 IV, 12 | Pharisee, and you too, O Marcion, how that it was proffer
206 IV, 13 | defence of such a number has Marcion's Christ to show? It is

208 IV, 14 | predicted this, the charge to Marcion's Christ must be a ridiculous
209 IV, 15 | prophets." What a turncoat is Marcion's Christ! Now the destroyer,
210 IV, 15 | consistent in the Christ of Marcion, who came to destroy them;
211 IV, 15 | the absolutely good god of Marcion, after so long a time, bestirred
212 IV, 15 | than slighted; and thus Marcion's Christ begins to teach
213 IV, 15 | devolves on Christ. If to Marcion's god there be ascribed
214 IV, 16 | fear of God. The god of Marcion, therefore, although specially
215 IV, 17 | Father, even of all men, as (Marcion's) castrated deity, who

217 IV, 17 | sunshine and rain even you, O Marcion, have enjoyed, but without
218 IV, 17 | his neighbour; if from (Marcion's god) himself, he will

222 IV, 17 | not produce truth. Thus, Marcion brought nothing good out
223 IV, 17 | treasure; nor Apelles out of Marcion's. For in applying to these
224 IV, 17 | them two gods, according to Marcion's grievous exposition. I

227 IV, 19 | Marcion's god it be given, by Marcion's god also will it be taken
228 IV, 19 | waiting (I suppose) until Marcion be born. We now come to

231 IV, 21 | ashamed of Christ. Now, Marcion, which of these courses

233 IV, 22 | and revealed them just as Marcion's Christ was bound to do,
234 IV, 22 | purpose of affirming for Marcion's information the fact that

236 IV, 22 | smite those of the blinded Marcion, who has failed to see how
237 IV, 23 | XXIII. IMPOSSIBLE THAT MARCION'S CHRIST SHOULD REPROVE

305 V, 4 | judgment." From what God? From (Marcion's) most excellent god? But
306 V, 4 | God is not mocked." But Marcion's god can be mocked; for
307 V, 5 | PURPOSED BY THE CREATOR. MARCION ONLY PERPETUATES THE OFFENCE
308 V, 5 | rebelled against the Creator. Marcion's god, however, could not

310 V, 5 | to confound its wisdom. Marcion's god has no such discipline,
311 V, 5 | us to glory in the god of Marcion~
312 V, 6 | SUBSEQUENT REVELATION. TO MARCION'S GOD SUCH A CONCEALMENT
313 V, 6 | PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN AS WAS MARCION'S. THE POWERS OF THE WORLD
314 V, 6 | also as His own. Else let Marcion show that the ages belong
315 V, 6 | his goods, is admitted by Marcion to have reference to the
316 V, 6 | into Judas." According to Marcion, however, the apostle in
317 V, 6 | afflatus, it follows that Marcion's god wholly dwells in a
318 V, 7 | subject of marriage, which Marcion, more continent than the
319 V, 7 | unquestionably permits it. Now, when Marcion wholly prohibits all carnal
320 V, 7 | You degrade your god, O Marcion, when you make him circumscribed
321 V, 7 | is nothing in the world." Marcion, however, does not say that
322 V, 7 | man might use. For behold Marcion, in his blindness, stumbled
323 V, 8 | AND THE PROPHET COMPARED. MARCION CHALLENGED TO PRODUCE ANYTHING
324 V, 8 | there for them? for not even Marcion's disciples, (to say nothing
325 V, 8 | and blood in opposition to Marcion's phantom; whilst throughout
326 V, 8 | and among His people. Let Marcion then exhibit, as gifts of
327 V, 10 | THE RAISED BODY, AGAINST MARCION. CHRIST AS THE SECOND ADAM
328 V, 10 | with whom to engage, For Marcion does not in any wise admit
329 V, 11 | ISRAEL, NOT REPREHENSIBLE ON MARCION'S PRINCIPLES. THE JEWS GUILTY

331 V, 11 | Father may be claimed for (Marcion's) sterile god, how much
332 V, 11 | attribute of mercy. Now, if Marcion's god has exhibited or proclaimed
333 V, 11 | method has been adopted by Marcion, by reading the passage
334 V, 11 | none more than the apostate Marcion's. Now he did not observe
335 V, 11 | the very dying of God, (Marcion's) god is really ungrateful

337 V, 12 | the case (next supposed by Marcion), that a God so good and
338 V, 12 | would seem, therefore, that Marcion's god imitates the Creator'
339 V, 13 | THE MERCIES OF THE GOSPEL. MARCION PARTICULARLY HARD IN MUTILATION
340 V, 13 | witnessing to His judgment. Marcion's averment is quite a different
341 V, 13 | unrighteousness. But what serious gaps Marcion has made in this epistle
342 V, 13 | not of the Creator, but of Marcion! I may here anticipate a
343 V, 13 | God forbid." Fie on you, Marcion. "God forbid!" (See how)
344 V, 13 | commandment." Why then do you, (O Marcion,) impute to the God of the
345 V, 14 | CHASM MADE IN THE EPISTLE BY MARCION'S ERASURE. WHEN THE JEWS
346 V, 14 | END OF THE EPISTLE, WHICH MARCION ALLOWED, SHOWN TO BE IN
347 V, 14 | coming from the law. If Marcion had an object in his erasures,
348 V, 14 | recompensed to him again?" Now, (Marcion,) since you have expunged
349 V, 14 | the law. I fear He must be Marcion's god (after all). If also
350 V, 15 | Creator's prophesyings, Marcion of course replies. For he

356 V, 16 | we must, notwithstanding Marcion's opposition, conclude that
357 V, 16 | According, however, to Marcion's view, it is really hard

366 V, 18 | the true reading was (as Marcion has it) "hidden from the

368 V, 18 | flesh" (except, of course, Marcion alone), "but nourisheth
369 V, 18 | the mystery. Now what is Marcion's opinion? The Creator could

375 V, 19 | of the constituents which Marcion has removed from it, even
376 V, 19 | But (once for all) let Marcion know that the principle
