1503      V, 13    |            therefore? Is the law sin? God forbid." Fie on you, Marcion. "
1504      V, 13    |                 Fie on you, Marcion. "God forbid!" (See how) the apostle
1505      V, 13    |               Marcion,) impute to the God of the law what His apostle
1506      V, 14    |               FOR THEIR MISCONDUCT TO GOD; IN AS MUCH AS THAT GOD
1507      V, 14    |               GOD; IN AS MUCH AS THAT GOD WAS THE CREATOR, A PROOF
1508      V, 14    |            FACT GIVEN THAT ST. PAUL'S GOD WAS THE CREATOR. THE PRECEPTS
1509      V, 14    |               matter if the Spirit of God remedied the flesh; but
1510      V, 14    |         cannot inherit the kingdom of God," it was not with the view
1511      V, 14    |              that they have a zeal of God"-their own God, of course "
1512      V, 14    |              a zeal of God"-their own God, of course "but not according
1513      V, 14    |             of (the righteousness of) God, and going about to establish
1514      V, 14    |             unto the righteousness of God; for Christ is the end of
1515      V, 14    |              ignorant of the superior God, since, in opposition to
1516      V, 14    |              their zeal for their own God, if it is not in respect
1517      V, 14    |            not in respect of the same God that he upbraids them for
1518      V, 14    |         affected indeed with zeal for God, but it was not an intelligent
1519      V, 14    |               be expounded of another god which is applicable to the
1520      V, 14    |             ignorance in respect of a god of whom they knew nothing.
1521      V, 14    |            righteousness of their own God against one of whom they
1522      V, 14    |              riches and the wisdom of God; how unsearchable also are
1523      V, 14    |              exclamation, because his god has no riches for him to
1524      V, 14    |             into the world of another God that he descended. The truth
1525      V, 14    |              riches and the wisdom of God!" For His treasures were
1526      V, 14    |              the precepts of your new god: "Abhor that which is evil,
1527      V, 14    |       Rejoicing in hope;" that is, of God. So says the Creator's Psalmist: "
1528      V, 14    |               loss to know who is the God of the law. I fear He must
1529      V, 14    |             fear He must be Marcion's god (after all). If also the
1530      V, 14    |              he may preach up another god, he certainly sets forth
1531      V, 15    |        PROPHETS PERTAINED TO THE SAME GOD. THE LAW OF NATURE, WHICH
1532      V, 15    |              the apostle of the rival god, one so amiable withal,
1533      V, 15    |              sinned against their own God. He upbraided their iniquity
1534      V, 15    |          iniquity to whom the injured God pertains; and certainly
1535      V, 15    |             the proclaimer of the new god, after they had put to death
1536      V, 15    |             the prophets of their own god? The fact, however, of their
1537      V, 15    |             it were the Christ of one god and the prophets of another
1538      V, 15    |               the prophets of another god whom they slew, he would

1540      V, 15    |            who are for destroying the God of marriage, not those who
1541      V, 15    |             church that spirit of his god which must not be quenched,
1542      V, 15    |           happen in the church of his God; and as long as He endures,
1543      V, 16    |              traces herein of our own God. But the folly of the obliteration
1544      V, 16    |       vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel,
1545      V, 16    |              that Christ belongs to a God who kindles the flames (
1546      V, 16    |              not the function of that God who is naturally unknown,
1547      V, 16    |               punish such as know not God, for none ought to be ignorant
1548      V, 16    |              above all that is called God, or that is worshipped;
1549      V, 16    |               to sit in the temple of God, and boast himself as being
1550      V, 16    |            and boast himself as being God?" According indeed to our
1551      V, 16    |               the Christ), meaning in God the Creator. According,
1552      V, 16    |             be saved; for which cause God shall send them an instinct
1553      V, 16    |         Creator's purpose, it must be God the Creator who sends him
1554      V, 16    |            and concede to us that his god is "a jealous god." (This
1555      V, 16    |            that his god is "a jealous god." (This being then an unquestionable
1556      V, 16    | unquestionable position, I ask) which God has the greater fight to
1557      V, 16    |         secret of proclaiming another god? Now He who has the right
1558      V, 17    |             POWER OF THE AIR, AND THE GOD OF THIS WORLD WHO CREATION
1559      V, 17    |          REGENERATION THE WORK OF ONE GOD. HOW CHRIST HAS MADE THE
1560      V, 17    |          wrote, he declared Him to be God in Christ with whom all
1561      V, 17    |               predicted. Now, to what god will most suitably belong
1562      V, 17    |             that good pleasure, which God hath purposed in the mystery
1563      V, 17    |                however, has the other god; that is to say, how can
1564      V, 17    |           done in heaven by any other God than Him by whom, as all
1565      V, 17    |              be reckoned to any other God than the Creator, who will
1566      V, 17    |            will believe that an alien god has recapitulated them in
1567      V, 17    |               separate from the other god; and if separate, then opposed
1568      V, 17    |            i.e. previously trusted in God, before His advent, except
1569      V, 17    |                  yea, the servants of God have become blind." In His
1570      V, 17    |             yet to be deduced another god and another Christ, let
1571      V, 17    |              the world as meaning the God of the world? For a creature
1572      V, 17    |             Maker; the world, none to God. He, moreover, who is the
1573      V, 17    |      recognize in the appellation the god of this world. For he has
1574      V, 17    |          course, were not children of God. It is manifest that sins,
1575      V, 17    |           having no hope, and without God in the world." Now, without
1576      V, 17    |             world." Now, without what God and without what Christ
1577      V, 17    |             hope of the promise, from God Himself. Since this is the
1578      V, 17    |            promise, yea to their very God Himself, it is quite ridiculous (
1579      V, 17    |               the Christ of the other god has brought us to this proximity
1580      V, 17    |               virgin by the Spirit of God), "that He might reconcile
1581      V, 17    |             might reconcile both unto God" (even the God whom both
1582      V, 17    |              both unto God" (even the God whom both races had offended
1583      V, 17    |               and of the household of God" (even of Him from whom,
1584      V, 18    |              the ages had been hid in God, who created all things."
1585      V, 18    |             ages been hidden from the God who created all things."
1586      V, 18    |         church the manifold wisdom of God." Whose principalities and
1587      V, 18    |              come to pass that such a God as He could have meant His
1588      V, 18    |              apostle) did not mention God in this passage, on the
1589      V, 18    |             was manifest to Him. From God, therefore, the mystery
1590      V, 18    |          hidden; but it was hidden in God, the Creator of all things,
1591      V, 18    |               view of saying that his god wished to make known to
1592      V, 18    |             his own mystery, of which God, who created all things,
1593      V, 18    |              stranger to the superior god, and far enough removed
1594      V, 18    |               mystery of the superior god, even on the supposition
1595      V, 18    |              has it) "hidden from the God who created all things"
1596      V, 18    |           that the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to Him,
1597      V, 18    |          principalities and powers of God, whosoever He might be,
1598      V, 18    |             of speech could the novel god have found in the prophets (
1599      V, 18    |            psalteries" were blamed by God. Now, when I find to what
1600      V, 18    |              Now, when I find to what God belong these precepts, whether
1601      V, 18    |           tell me, Marcion, does your god build up the authority of
1602      V, 18    |                to prove that the same God is (the God) of the man
1603      V, 18    |             that the same God is (the God) of the man and of Christ,
1604      V, 18    |       furnished figures to an unknown god, or, if a known one, an
1605      V, 18    |              to Himself. The superior god, in fact, ought to have
1606      V, 18    |            put on the whole armour of God, that we may be able to
1607      V, 18    |            Creator both a devil and a god at the same time, when the
1608      V, 18    |             devil is not at once both god and devil? For either they
1609      V, 18    |             devils; or else He who is God is not also devil, as neither
1610      V, 18    |               devil, as neither is he god who is the devil. I want
1611      V, 18    |               purpose of the superior god conduct such as He experienced
1612      V, 18    |             the Ephesians) to pray to God that this "open-mouthed
1613      V, 19    |            THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD EXPLAINED. PRE-EXISTENCE
1614      V, 19    |      EPICUREAN CHARACTER OF MARCION'S GOD. THE CATHOLIC TRUTH IN OPPOSITION
1615      V, 19    |          words, to the gospel of that God who of old declared this
1616      V, 19    |            the image of the invisible God." We in like manner say
1617      V, 19    |      vouchsafed to men in the name of God) as the image of (the Father)
1618      V, 19    |              visible and an invisible God; because long before he
1619      V, 19    |             find a description of our God to this effect: "No man
1620      V, 19    |            creature,"as that "Word of God by whom all things were
1621      V, 19    |     constitute the fulness of his own god, (this hypothesis, absurd
1622      V, 19    |          might have been to a strange god; but reconciled they could
1623      V, 19    |              any other than their own God. Accordingly, ourselves "
1624      V, 19    |         dreads to arouse the anger of God, and firmly believes that
1625      V, 19    |         heathen, laugh and jeer. For "God hath chosen the foolish
1626      V, 19    |               confound the wise" that God, no doubt, who in reference
1627      V, 19    |           perverse opinions. Then, if God "quickens us together with
1628      V, 19    |          Christ, assigning one to one god and the other to another,
1629      V, 19    |       evidently received the law from God. When, therefore, he speaks
1630      V, 20    |               MARCION ALLEGED) IN THE GOD OF JUDAISM AND THE GOD OF
1631      V, 20    |            THE GOD OF JUDAISM AND THE GOD OF THE GOSPEL DEDUCIBLE
1632      V, 20    |            but one Christ and His one God, whatever motives men had
1633      V, 20    |           that, "being in the form of God, He thought it not robbery
1634      V, 20    |              robbery to be equal with God; but emptied Himself, and
1635      V, 20    |            the image of the invisible God." For will it not follow
1636      V, 20    |              that Christ is not truly God, because the apostle places
1637      V, 20    |            places Him in the image of God, if, (as Marcion contends,)
1638      V, 20    |        phantom. But since he is truly God, as the Son of the Father,
1639      V, 20    |      Therefore, as He was found to be God by His mighty power, so
1640      V, 20    |          other words,) it was not the God of the Jews, but their stupid
1641      V, 20    |            means for the rejection of God the Creator); "whilst he
1642      V, 20    |             righteousness which is of God." Then, say you, according
1643      V, 20    |              did not proceed from the God of Christ. Subtle enough!
1644      V, 20    |            the flesh at the advent of God, and who shall have to be
