  1 3 |   DECEPTIVE AND DISHONOURABLE TO GOD, EVEN ON MARCION'S PRINCIPLES.~
  2 3 |        was either impossible for God, or unbecoming to Him. With
  3 3 |          unbecoming to Him. With God, however, nothing is impossible
  4 3 |        argument very briefly. If God had willed not to be born,
  5 3 |      that he had been born? What God therefore willed not to
  6 3 |          would have ceased to be God, losing what He was, while
  7 3 |    becoming what He was not. For God is in no danger of losing
  8 3 |        But, say you, I deny that God was truly changed to man
  9 3 |        But nothing is equal with God; His nature is different
 10 3 |         things which differ from God, and from which God differs,
 11 3 |         from God, and from which God differs, lose what existence
 12 3 |     theirs, in other words, that God can be changed into all
 13 3 |    angels, which are inferior to God, after they have been changed
 14 3 |     angels? and will you deprive God, their superior, of this
 15 3 |         could not continue to be God, after His real assumption
 16 3 |          will belong to the same God as those angels do, who
 17 4 |                              IV. GOD'S HONOUR IN THE INCARNATION
 18 4 |         FLESH.THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD IS MOST WISE.~Since, therefore,
 19 4 |    hazardous to the character of God, it remains for you to repudiate
 20 4 |         if He comes from another god, His love was excessive,
 21 4 |          our view the being whom God has redeemed since it is
 22 4 |          constitute the man whom God has redeemed. And are you
 23 4 |          This is disgraceful for God, and 'this is unworthy of
 24 4 |        is unworthy of the Son of God, and simply foolish." For
 25 4 |      foolish, if we are to judge God by our own conceptions.
 26 4 |         you have not erased it: "God hath chosen the foolish
 27 4 |          the worship of the true God, the rejection of error,
 28 4 |       foolish" as believing in a God that has been born, and
 29 4 |       must be other things which God has chosen to confound the
 30 5 |   humiliations and sufferings of God. Or else, let them call
 31 5 |        let them call a crucified God "wisdom." But Marcion will
 32 5 |        which Is more unworthy of God, which is more likely to
 33 5 |     raise a blush of shame, that God should be born, or that
 34 5 | believing" the foolish things of God." Have you, then, cut away
 35 5 |       that murder truth: Was not God really crucified? And, having
 36 5 |       all guilt the murderers of God! For nothing did Christ
 37 5 |        Whatsoever is unworthy of God, is of gain to me. I am
 38 5 |    contempt of shame. The Son of God was crucified; I am not
 39 5 |    ashamed of it. And the Son of God died; it is by all means
 40 5 |    Marcion's man is as Marcion's god. Otherwise Christ could
 41 5 |        parent; just as He is not God without the Spirit of God,
 42 5 |        God without the Spirit of God, nor the Son of God without
 43 5 |    Spirit of God, nor the Son of God without having God for His
 44 5 |        Son of God without having God for His father. Thus the
 45 5 |         displayed Him as man and God, in one respect born, in
 46 5 |         Spirit, proved Him to be God, His sufferings attested
 47 5 |          from the most excellent God, who is both simple and
 48 5 |     troop of mountebanks, not as God besides man, but simply
 49 6 |      Moses, who has rejected the God of Moses? Since the God
 50 6 |          God of Moses? Since the God is a different one, everything
 51 6 |       use the Scriptures of that God whose world they also enjoy.
 52 7 |        flesh, wilfully deny that God Himself was born, on the
 53 7 |         preaching the kingdom of God and actively engaged in
 54 7 |        preaching and manifesting God, fulfilling the law and
 55 7 |         listened to the word (of God) He points out in what sense
 56 7 |         as highly as the word of God, He were Himself to leave
 57 7 |     Himself to leave the word of God as soon as His mother and
 58 7 |       taught us to deny ours for God's work. But there is also
 59 7 |     blessed who hear the word of God." ~
 60 9 |       obscured Him as the Son of God, for He was looked on as
 61 11|      that was made of flesh? For God, they say, desired to make
 62 11|       these flaws is suitable to God. (But as the case stands
 63 11|          not beyond the power of God indeed it would be more

 67 12|        this cause did the Son of God descend and take on Him
 68 12|       itself, but of the word of God. "The life," says He, "was
 69 14|     salvation of man? The Son of God, in sooth, was not competent
 70 14|          then, no longer but one God, but one Saviour, if there
 71 14|        of man? As "the Spirit of God." however, and "the Power
 72 14|         angels, He who is verily God, and the Son of God? Well,
 73 14|       verily God, and the Son of God? Well, but as bearing human
 74 14|          and not also the Son of God; although He is, to be sure,
 75 15|         the one Mediator between God and man." Also Peter, in
 76 15|     Christ was a man approved of God among you." These passages

 78 15|      bandy about. Was the Son of God reduced to such a depth
 79 16|          possible for the Son of God to take to Himself' the

 81 17|     conceive and bear "Emmanuel, God with us." This is the new
 82 17|       nativity; a man is born in God. And in this man God was
 83 17|          in God. And in this man God was born, taking the flesh
 84 17|   furrows, when, as we are told, God made man out of it into
 85 17|       has told us, was formed by God into a quickening spirit
 86 17|          contrary operation that God recovered His own image
 87 17|          introduced that Word of God which was to raise the fabric
 88 17|         the murderer of Himself. God therefore sent down into
 89 18|          not fit that the Son of God should be born of a human
 90 18|       fail to be also the Son of God, and have nothing more than "
 91 18|       who was already the Son of God of God the Father's seed,
 92 18|        already the Son of God of God the Father's seed, that
 93 18|          One who had the seed of God. As, then, before His birth
 94 18|      virgin, He was able to have God for His Father without a
 95 18|      father. He is thus man with God, in short, since He is man'
 96 18|     since He is man's flesh with God's Spirit flesh (I say) without
 97 18|       man, Spirit with seed from God. For as much, then, as the
 98 18|           as the dispensation of God's purpose concerning His
 99 18|          else which He took from God, for "the Word "say they, "
100 18|       Spirit is spirit," because God is a Spirit, and He was
101 18|       Spirit, and He was born of God. Now this description is
102 18|        He is of the Spirit He is God the Spirit, and is born
103 18|       the Spirit, and is born of God; just as He is also born
104 19|    DIVINE NATURE, AS THE WORD OF GOD, BECAME FLESH, NOT BY CARNAL
105 19|          MAN, BUT BY THE WILL OF GOD. CHRIST'S DIVINE NATURE,
106 19|          the will of man, but of God?" I shall make more use
107 19|          the will of man, but of God," as if designating those
108 19|        the Lord, "He was born of God." And very properly, because
109 19|    because Christ is the Word of God, and with the Word the Spirit
110 19|      with the Word the Spirit of God, and by the Spirit the Power
111 19|          the Spirit the Power of God, and whatsoever else appertains
112 19|    whatsoever else appertains to God. As flesh, however, He is
113 19|    because it was by the will of God that the Word was made flesh.

117 21|                 XXI. THE WORD OF GOD DID NOT BECOME FLESH EXCEPT
118 21|        this, that as the Word of God became flesh without the
119 21|         what? I ask. The Word of God, of course, and not the
120 21|          posterity in the flesh, God swears to him that "He will
121 23|       really holy but the Son of God? Who properly opened the

124 24|          confest to our view and God none other than the One
125 24|   prophetic view, he says, "I am God, and there is none else;
126 24|        is none else; there is no God beside me." And when in
127 24|           Before me there was no God," he strikes at those inexplicable
