170 III, 4 | proceed-rags against the Creator, destroying the law and
171 III, 5 | are the Scriptures of the Creator. For as I shall have to
172 III, 5 | that Christ was from the Creator, according to these (Scriptures),
173 III, 5 | afterwards accomplished in the Creator's Christ, I find it necessary
174 III, 6 | understanding was by the Creator taken from the people. "
175 III, 6 | Christ was announced by the Creator, "who formeth the lightning,
176 III, 6 | prophets, as the Spirit of the Creator (for so says the prophet: "

180 III, 8 | possible, of belonging to the Creator, was not what he appeared
181 III, 9 | met with the case of the Creator's angels, as if they held
182 III, 9 | unreal flesh. Since the Creator "maketh His angels spirits,

187 III, 11 | Himself the very Christ of the Creator, who was by the Creator'
188 III, 11 | Creator, who was by the Creator's prophets foretold as about

195 III, 15 | for his son names from the Creator? I say not names which do
196 III, 15 | not be supposed to be the Creator's Christ? Vain, however,
197 III, 15 | taken for the Christ of the Creator, if he had not taken on
198 III, 15 | false prophets against the Creator, when they came in His name
199 III, 16 | SUITED TO THE CHRIST OF THE CREATOR. JOSHUA A TYPE OF HIM.~Now
200 III, 16 | insinuating himself as the Creator's, then Jesus opposes him,
201 III, 16 | for in the Christ of the Creator; or if he be Jesus, in order
202 III, 16 | belong to any other than the Creator. I know not which one of
203 III, 16 | ground. In the Christ of the Creator, however, both will keep
204 III, 16 | him, but the Spirit of the Creator, which is Christ? When He
205 III, 16 | suitable to the Christ of the Creator, they are proportionately
206 III, 16 | of the other god and the Creator's Christ. For you will have
207 III, 16 | different being from the Creator's Christ, as we, to claim
208 III, 16 | Him (who has come) as the Creator's, until we have shown Him
209 III, 16 | to be such a one as the Creator has appointed. Now respecting
210 III, 18 | predicted of the Christ of the Creator, and because you contend,
211 III, 18 | to be believed that the Creator would expose His Son to
212 III, 19 | will grant to them that the Creator has given us no signs of

214 III, 20 | of the Scriptures of the Creator which were predicted and

218 III, 21 | found on the side of the Creator, not of Marcion, all nations
219 III, 21 | nations can turn to the Creator, when those whom the prophet
220 III, 21 | days approaching to God the Creator, and not to proselytes,
221 III, 22 | belonged indeed to that Creator who was the adversary of
222 III, 22 | preaching. Then why does the Creator, if an adversary of Christ,
223 III, 22 | declare that the Spirit of the Creator prophesied of your Christ.~
224 III, 23 | powers and authorities of the Creator, as it were by hostile beings,
225 III, 23 | manifestly He was defended by the Creator: there were given to Him
226 III, 23 | His account, and then the Creator could not have inflicted
227 III, 23 | death. At all events, if the Creator's Christ has not come yet,

229 III, 23 | and human agents of the Creator, or else through maliciousness,
230 III, 24 | not been predicted by the Creator, and as if it were proving
231 III, 24 | in fact, predicted by the Creator, and that even without prediction

234 IV | JESUS IS THE CHRIST OF THE CREATOR. HE DERIVES HIS PROOFS FROM
235 IV, 1 | old dispensation under the Creator, and that another is on
236 IV, 1 | But why enlarge, when the Creator by the same prophet foretells
237 IV, 1 | as he said, that from the Creator there would come other laws,
238 IV, 1 | Why do you wrest to the Creator's prejudice those examples
239 IV, 1 | the natural works of the Creator, who is for ever contrary

252 IV, 7 | when descending through the Creator's domain, and indeed in
253 IV, 7 | he did not belong to the Creator by whom that region was
254 IV, 7 | as were strangers to the Creator, if He especially belonged

263 IV, 7 | to be any other than the Creator's. Well, but Jesus rebuked
264 IV, 7 | also as belonging to the Creator most unjustly would He have
265 IV, 8 | THE SON OF GOD, WAS THE CREATOR'S CHRIST. AS OCCASION OFFERS,
266 IV, 8 | EXPOSED.~The Christ of the Creator had to be called a Nazarene
267 IV, 8 | domestic localities of the Creator's Christ, when he had so
268 IV, 8 | prophets thus assigned to the Creator's Christ. But Christ will
269 IV, 8 | the destroyer also of the Creator, he would have desired nothing
270 IV, 8 | demons as the Son of the Creator, that he might drive them
271 IV, 8 | by the authority of the Creator. "He departed, and went

290 IV, 11 | CONNECTING CHRIST WITH THE CREATOR.~The publican who was chosen
291 IV, 11 | having to himself both a creator and preserver, and a specially

341 IV, 15 | invidiously contrasted with it the Creator's severity? Of little worth
342 IV, 15 | forth the severity of the Creator, he, in fact, affirmed Him
343 IV, 15 | teach favourably to the Creator's interests. Then, on the
344 IV, 15 | regard to the rich is the Creator's, it follows that it is
345 IV, 15 | it is not Christ, but the Creator, who is angry with the rich;
346 IV, 15 | they deserve the woe of the Creator. But how happens it that
347 IV, 15 | there be imputed to the Creator the woe pronounced against
348 IV, 15 | thus the entire work of the Creator devolves on Christ. If to

361 IV, 16 | that old injunction, of the Creator: "Speak to the ears of those

398 IV, 20 | from the prophecies, of the Creator? You suppose that He is
399 IV, 20 | is very unlikely that the Creator was ignorant thereof. For
400 IV, 20 | acted. As therefore both the Creator and His creatures must have
401 IV, 20 | recollected they must beg of the Creator not to be plunged into the
402 IV, 20 | not to be plunged into the Creator's abyss. They at last had
403 IV, 20 | behold an inkling of the Creator's failings and infirmities
404 IV, 20 | Thus you have both the Creator excused in the same way

407 IV, 20 | And if of faith in the Creator, how could she have violated
408 IV, 20 | proportionate to her faith in the Creator. But how can these two things

446 IV, 25 | been formerly hidden by the Creator, it follows that he did
447 IV, 25 | follows that he did the Creator's work by setting forth
448 IV, 25 | them to those from whom the Creator had hidden them, even the
449 IV, 25 | due to those from whom the Creator had detained it, instead
450 IV, 25 | of the babes, to whom the Creator had grudged no gift. But
451 IV, 25 | He is the Christ of the Creator to whom all things belong;
452 IV, 25 | things belong; because the Creator has not delivered to a Son
453 IV, 25 | the Father? Are they the Creator's? Then the things which
454 IV, 25 | the Son are good. and the Creator is therefore good, since
455 IV, 25 | else, if nothing of the Creator's has been delivered to
456 IV, 25 | within the purpose of the Creator: "I will give Thee the heathen

460 IV, 25 | such as are unfit for the Creator which will be able to advance
461 IV, 25 | about the life which the Creator in the law promises to prolong,

486 IV, 27 | OF HIS MISSION FROM THE CREATOR.~I prefer elsewhere refuting
487 IV, 27 | Marcionites find in the Creator. It is here enough that
488 IV, 27 | He only follows out the Creator's course, who calls ambitious
489 IV, 27 | in order to tarnish the Creator as a cruel Being, against
