95 III, 6 | which, while they declare Christ to be capable of suffering
96 III, 6 | there was a probability of Christ's rejection. This is quickly

99 III, 6 | on the manifestation of Christ, it was demonstrated that

109 III, 6 | regarded Him as a strange Christ, but because they did not

118 III, 8 | DOCETIC OPINIONS; REALITY OF CHRIST'S INCARNATION.~Our heretic
119 III, 8 | disposition, as when he alleges Christ to be a phantom. Except,
120 III, 8 | antichrists, when they denied that Christ was come in the flesh; not
121 III, 8 | the bodily substance of Christ, since he had introduced
122 III, 8 | fallacies of the Creator. His Christ, therefore, in order to

174 III, 15 | BUT UNSUITED TO MARCION'S CHRIST.~Touching then the discussion
175 III, 15 | and especially that of Christ, what has the other side
176 III, 15 | in reply? If the name of Christ is as common with you as
177 III, 15 | Gods may be fitly called Christ, so each of the Fathers
178 III, 15 | or in earth." The name of Christ, however, does not arise
179 III, 15 | in the name, forsooth, of Christ? What hindered his calling
180 III, 15 | supposed to be the Creator's Christ? Vain, however, was his
181 III, 15 | escape being taken for the Christ of the Creator, if he had
182 III, 15 | verity by his name. For Christ means anointed, and to be
183 III, 15 | any wise have been called Christ. It is a different thing (
184 III, 15 | apt to suppose either that Christ was their own, or rather
185 III, 15 | deceiver, than that He was the Christ of the other god; and this

187 III, 16 | if he caught at the name Christ, just as the pickpocket
188 III, 16 | name also was destined for Christ, yet, for all that, the
189 III, 16 | this day, in short, it is Christ that they are looking for,
190 III, 16 | they interpret Elias to be Christ rather than Jesus. He, therefore,
191 III, 16 | also in a name in which Christ was not expected, might
192 III, 16 | is defeated. For if he be Christ for the very purpose of
193 III, 16 | was not looked for in the Christ of the Creator; or if he
194 III, 16 | to the other (God), then Christ hinders him, because Christ
195 III, 16 | Christ hinders him, because Christ was not expected to belong
196 III, 16 | hold its ground. In the Christ of the Creator, however,
197 III, 16 | come. For inasmuch as Jesus Christ was to introduce a new generation (
198 III, 16 | by the circumcision) of Christ, for Christ is a rock (or
199 III, 16 | circumcision) of Christ, for Christ is a rock (or stone), therefore
200 III, 16 | called Joshua. This name Christ Himself even then testified
201 III, 16 | of the Creator, which is Christ? When He therefore spake
202 III, 16 | names are suitable to the Christ of the Creator, they are
203 III, 16 | unsuitable to the non-Creator's Christ; and so indeed is all the
204 III, 16 | is all the rest of (our Christ's) destined course. In short,
205 III, 16 | all in common between the Christ of the other god and the
206 III, 16 | other god and the Creator's Christ. For you will have as great
207 III, 16 | unable to show that the Christ of the other god has come,
208 III, 16 | being from the Creator's Christ, as we, to claim Him (who
209 III, 16 | Marcion). I claim for myself Christ; I maintain for myself Jesus.~
210 III, 17 | AND THE PSALMS RESPECTING CHRIST'S HUMILIATION.~Let us compare

213 III, 17 | Now to no man, except Christ, would the diversity of

218 III, 18 | setting forth the death of Christ, who was destined by His
219 III, 18 | Joseph likewise was a type of Christ, not indeed on this ground (
220 III, 18 | God from his brethren, as Christ did from His brethren after
221 III, 18 | a minotaur with two; but Christ was indicated in him a bullock
222 III, 18 | with which they persecuted Christ. "Into their counsel let
223 III, 18 | a bullock," that is, of Christ. For against Him did they

225 III, 19 | the Jews is meant! and not Christ, who overcame death by His

227 III, 19 | even to Christ, why may not Christ be said to have reigned
228 III, 19 | King of the new ages, Jesus Christ, carried on His shoulder
229 III, 19 | does the entire passion of Christ, who was even then prophetically
230 III, 19 | signs of the cross of His Christ; but they will not prove
231 III, 19 | was crucified was another (Christ), unless they could somehow
232 III, 19 | prophecy of even Marcion's Christ, much less of his cross,
233 III, 19 | cross, it is enough for my Christ that there is a prophecy
234 III, 19 | be assigned to another (Christ), if the prophecy had had
235 III, 19 | allow that the death of my Christ was predicted, his confusion
236 III, 19 | he announces that his own Christ indeed died, whom he denies
237 III, 19 | whilst denying that my Christ is mortal, though he allows
238 III, 19 | and resurrection of my Christ all indicated in a single
239 III, 20 | SUBSEQUENT INFLUENCE Or CHRIST'S DEATH IN THE WORLD PREDICTED.
240 III, 20 | traced thus far the course of Christ's dispensation in these
241 III, 20 | destined to happen after Christ. For the dispensation would
242 III, 20 | Divine Creator, the Divine Christ, and deny Him to be the
243 III, 20 | here meant, rather than Christ; or for the ends of the
244 III, 20 | nation simply, rather than to Christ, who now embraces the whole
245 III, 20 | are accomplished through Christ, they would not have been
246 III, 20 | more to understand that Christ is reckoned to spring from
247 III, 20 | whose body the flesh of Christ was to be the fruit, which
248 III, 20 | then, which is found in Christ now, will prove to be what
249 III, 20 | mercies of David," which were Christ's, inasmuch as Christ sprang
250 III, 20 | were Christ's, inasmuch as Christ sprang from David, or rather
251 III, 20 | forth Solomon! But is not Christ here designated the seed
252 III, 20 | is, Mary's? Now, because Christ rather than any other was
253 III, 20 | dwell as in a better temple, Christ rather than David's son
254 III, 20 | for ever is more suited to Christ than to Solomon, a mere
255 III, 20 | mere temporal king. From Christ, too, God's mercy did not
256 III, 20 | with Solomon, but only with Christ, the method of our interpretations
257 III, 20 | were clearly predicted of Christ. And so in Him we shall
258 III, 20 | over Israel alone. It is Christ whom all nations now invoke,
259 III, 20 | invoke, which knew Him not; Christ to whom all races now betake
260 III, 21 | Christs, as if the Jewish Christ were ordained by the Creator
261 III, 21 | their way to God through Christ. But nations (Gentiles)
262 III, 21 | prophet) as trusting in Christ. "And in His name," says
263 III, 21 | the habit of trusting in Christ's name, but in the dispensation
264 III, 21 | house of God," that is, Christ, the Catholic temple of
265 III, 21 | law and the new word in Christ, no longer in Moses. "And
266 III, 21 | that you here learn that Christ is promised not as powerful
267 III, 22 | that is blasphemy against Christ; "Go ye out of the midst
268 III, 22 | His arm, that is to say, Christ by His mighty power, in
269 III, 22 | the Lord, and against His Christ." What did the apostles
270 III, 22 | Creator, if an adversary of Christ, not only predict that the
271 III, 22 | person." Who is this but Christ? "Come, say they, let us
272 III, 22 | subjoining the fact that Christ suffered, He foretold that
273 III, 22 | twenty-first Psalm, the brethren of Christ or children of God would
274 III, 22 | Father, in the person of Christ Himself addressing His Father; "
275 III, 22 | Creator prophesied of your Christ.~
276 III, 23 | CONDITION FOR REJECTING CHRIST, FORETOLD.~Now, since you
277 III, 23 | Jews in denying that their Christ has come, recollect also
278 III, 23 | themselves after the time of Christ, for the impiety wherewith
279 III, 23 | truth had been made clear by Christ. Consider whether what follows
280 III, 23 | has proved that it was Christ, for rebellion against whom
281 III, 23 | but for the sake of the Christ of the other god. Well,
282 III, 23 | you affirm that it is the Christ of the other god who was
283 III, 23 | vengeance except for His own Christ; nay, He must have rather
284 III, 23 | events, if the Creator's Christ has not come yet, on whose
285 III, 23 | state, that the Creator's Christ may find it, and then you
286 III, 23 | may contend that another Christ has come. But then, again,
287 III, 24 | XXIV. CHRIST'S MILLENNIAL AND HEAVENLY
288 III, 24 | possession. Besides, your Christ promises to the Jews their
289 III, 24 | spiritually applicable to Christ and His church, and to the
290 III, 24 | and as if it were proving Christ to belong to the other god
291 III, 24 | heaven!" For he had seen Christ the Lord, the temple of
292 III, 24 | is now a gate provided by Christ, which admits and conducts
293 III, 24 | should thus believe that the Christ who promises the higher
294 III, 24 | who had reserved for His Christ alone this revelation of
295 III, 24 | however, argue for another Christ, from the very circumstance
296 III, 24 | state. Can it be that your Christ promises a kingdom of heaven,
297 IV | HIS ARGUMENT. JESUS IS THE CHRIST OF THE CREATOR. HE DERIVES
298 IV, 1 | its way in the new under Christ. I do not deny that there
299 IV, 1 | was to run its course in Christ. That He was of the family
300 IV, 2 | masters, which means that of Christ, for it was that which made
301 IV, 2 | God the Creator and His Christ, how that He was born of

305 IV, 3 | by accusing those whom Christ chose. If, then, the apostles,
306 IV, 4 | out of it to fashion their Christ, surely he could not have

363 IV, 10 | actually the human father of Christ, as Valentinus did with

365 IV, 10 | to prove that He is the Christ of prophecy? For if He gives

396 IV, 12 | some novel institution s of Christ, let this stand as a settled
397 IV, 12 | nothing was as yet advanced by Christ touching any new deity,

401 IV, 12 | those who think this of Christ in this passage of St. Luke,
402 IV, 12 | their ignorance that neither Christ nor the Creator violated

404 IV, 12 | even if, as being not the Christ of the Jews, He displayed
405 IV, 12 | the Creator, as being His Christ, in this very hatred of
406 IV, 12 | in which the teaching of Christ seemed to annul the Sabbath.
407 IV, 12 | had violated the holy day. Christ excuses them, and became

436 IV, 14 | the charge to Marcion's Christ must be a ridiculous one (
437 IV, 14 | Christians, as derived from Christ, was to be hated for the
438 IV, 14 | man's sake, because He is Christ, it determines the point

440 IV, 15 | not be consistent in the Christ of Marcion, who came to
441 IV, 15 | becoming to the Creator's Christ that He should stigmatize
442 IV, 15 | but they will have it that Christ pronounced the woe, not
443 IV, 15 | slighted; and thus Marcion's Christ begins to teach favourably
444 IV, 15 | it follows that it is not Christ, but the Creator, who is
445 IV, 15 | angry with the rich; while Christ approves of the incentives
446 IV, 15 | the Creator devolves on Christ. If to Marcion's god there
447 IV, 15 | exclamation; and since it is by Christ uttered against the rich,

457 IV, 16 | difficult to understand, Christ, as the Lord of the Sabbath
458 IV, 16 | whatever (new provision) Christ introduced, He did it not

469 IV, 17 | who, before the coming of Christ, had addressed to them these

474 IV, 18 | being in truth the God and Christ of Israel, and had now stigmatized
475 IV, 18 | so evidently had the Lord Christ introduced no other god
476 IV, 18 | glorified the Creator, and Christ (on hearing them, and knowing
477 IV, 18 | hears of the miracles of Christ, as of an alien god. Well,
478 IV, 18 | expected or thought of another Christ as teaching or doing nothing
