821 V, 16 | woe, He must be either the Creator, or (as Marcion would be
822 V, 16 | loth to admit) One like the Creator "with whom it is a righteous

836 V, 17 | again, they belong to the Creator, they must needs be separate
837 V, 17 | facts which are found in the Creator there is yet to be deduced
838 V, 17 | let us go in quest of the Creator. I suppose, forsooth, we
839 V, 17 | bears no resemblance to the Creator; the thing made, none to
840 V, 17 | designations are unsuited to the Creator. There is another being
841 V, 17 | disobedience" against the Creator Himself ever since he took
842 V, 17 | these descriptions to the Creator. But the apostle, too, had
843 V, 17 | understood to indicate that the Creator was the lord of sinful men,
844 V, 17 | church and the Christ of the Creator. Therefore he says: "We
845 V, 17 | contend that, because the Creator called the Jews children,
846 V, 17 | children, therefore the Creator is the lord of wrath. For
847 V, 17 | as the Jews were not the Creator's children by nature, but
848 V, 17 | to nature, and not to the Creator, adding this at lasts" even
849 V, 17 | is the workmanship of the Creator. He therefore who made man (

855 V, 18 | powers does he mean? If the Creator's, how does it come to pass
856 V, 18 | it was hidden in God, the Creator of all things, from His
857 V, 18 | obtruding this ignorance of the Creator, who was a stranger to the
858 V, 18 | nothing about him? To the Creator, however, the future was
859 V, 18 | laid down. For since the Creator was sure to know, some time
860 V, 18 | might be, with whom the Creator was destined to share their
861 V, 18 | his law on the work of the Creator? This, however, is a comparative
862 V, 18 | comparison with the work of the Creator. How much honour is given
863 V, 18 | apostle's help who applies the Creator's injunction, and adds even
864 V, 18 | me that the works of the Creator are great mysteries in the
865 V, 18 | is Marcion's opinion? The Creator could not possibly have
866 V, 18 | this world," what a host of Creator Gods there must be! For
867 V, 18 | world," if he meant only the Creator to be the being to whom
868 V, 18 | if "the devil" means the Creator, who will be the devil in

870 V, 18 | this world? But how is the Creator both a devil and a god at
871 V, 18 | at all applicable to the Creator. Perhaps he perverted some
872 V, 18 | wickedness" did not signify the Creator, because of the apostle'
873 V, 18 | purpose of disparaging the Creator, when he displayed to the
874 V, 19 | PRE-EXISTENCE OF OUR CHRIST IN THE CREATOR'S ANCIENT DISPENSATIONS.
875 V, 19 | He is not the Word of the Creator? Now how will he be proved
876 V, 19 | and the destroyer of the Creator have been willing that His
877 V, 19 | does He reconcile to the Creator, against whom we had committed
878 V, 19 | to the prejudice of the Creator. As, however, he says elsewhere,
879 V, 19 | on a par with the Divine Creator. He also denies the resurrection
