 88        4, LXXII  |         comparing together the two statements, easily see for what purpose

 91        4, LXXIX  |            at all with him and his statements made above; yet what does
 92        4, LXXXV  |          say, in addition to these statements (that the unseemly character
 93        4, LXXXIX |          to prove by the foregoing statements that the irrational animals
 94        4, XC     |         number, in answer to these statements of Celsus, that we may show
 95        4, XCVII  |   examining (the soundness of) his statements, we look to their consequences,
 96        4, XCIX   |        then briefly reply to these statements. I think, indeed, that I

 98        5, III    |       carefully ascertain from the statements made regarding Jesus, and
 99        5, VI     |          account!" In making these statements, Celsus appears to have
100        5, XIII   |            now bring forward those statements of his which follow, that
101        5, XXV    |             Let us next notice the statements of Celsus, which follow
102        5, XXV    |    preserve. And not to repeat his statements, which have been already
103        5, XXVIII |         observe here whether these statements do not exhibit the greatest
104        5, XXXIII |           made not only answer the statements of Celsus regarding the
105        5, XXXIII |        well as we could the untrue statements of Celsus, by subjoining
106        5, XLV    |   conferred upon him. And if these statements are true when spoken of
107        5, LIV    |            for Celsus to quote the statements regarding the descent of
108        5, LVI    |        Luke and John of two, which statements are not contradictory. For
109        5, LVIII  |       preceding pages answered his statements. But what does Celsus mean
110        5, LIX    |            recklessly adds certain statements, such as the following,
111        6, X      |          acknowledges whence these statements are derived." Now, if one
112        6, XXIII  |        divine things, not from the statements of that very insignificant
113        6, XXIV   |      however, that it is from some statements of a very insignificant
114        6, XXVI   |      charges directed against them statements which they never uttered
115        6, XXVII  |          forward certain monstrous statements, in the form of question
116        6, XXVII  | ecclesiastical writers the "seal," statements which did not arise from
117        6, XXIX   |          the Father!" Now, by such statements, this illustrious philosopher
118        6, XXXIII |          the "square pattern," the statements made by these unhappy beings
119        6, XXXVI  |    explained when we interpret the statements in the book of Genesis regarding
120        6, XXXVIII|      introduced into his treatise, statements taken from the writings
121        6, XL     |         their women. Now, as these statements have been condemned as falsehoods
122        6, XL     |             so would the following statements of Celsus be found to be
123        6, XLII   |       Satan. Now, of a truth, such statements are altogether of mortal
124        6, XLII   |           faith in Him alone. Such statements are manifestly the words
125        6, XLII   |             After having made such statements, and not having got over
126        6, XLII   |            to endure it. Now these statements are altogether ridiculous.
127        6, XLV    |           since Celsus rejects the statements concerning Antichrist, as
128        6, XLIX   |       asserts that these are silly statements, let him turn his attention
129        6, L      |             And since he makes the statements about the "days of creation"
130        6, LI     |          distinctly to arraign the statements of these heretics as erroneous,
131        6, LI     |           derived in part from the statements of their own adherents,
132        6, LIII   |            not observing that some statements are the utterances of one
133        6, LIII   |            follow too from his own statements. For one might say to Celsus: "
134        6, LV     |         nevertheless contains some statements which, although comparatively
135        6, LV     |          occasion those discordant statements, which are many in number,
136        6, LXIV   |        brings together a number of statements, which he gives as admissions
137        6, LXVII  |            distinct among all your statements." It is not, therefore, "
138        6, LXXII  |            becomes confused in his statements, as if there were some of
139        6, LXXII  |          however, for us to answer statements as ours which were never
140        6, LXXV   |    wherever, in the same writings, statements would appear to be made
141        6, LXXV   |       admitted to be recorded some statements respecting the body of Jesus
142        7, XII    |         proper answer in regard to statements in them which attribute
143        7, XVII   |           is Celsus correct in his statements on this subject. It is that
144        7, XXXVII |           Christian doctrines, the statements in question do not agree
145        7, LVI    |          interpolated many impious statements, though he does not mention
146        8, IV     |    referring to this and such like statements in the words, "Him follows
147        8, VII    |          then retract his previous statements; or else to abandon his
148        8, XVI    |          assert that none of these statements are true. For he seems to
149        8, XXVII  |            then, in reply to those statements of Celsus: "If they are
150        8, XLI    |          and perish." Now to these statements I would answer that we revile
151        8, XLVII  |          blindly to accept his own statements and reject those of others,
152        8, LX     |          harm may arise from these statements, adds: "Care, however, must
153        8, LXII   |           may now believe that the statements put forth by Christians
154        8, LXIII  |     instead of making his previous statements. But, indeed, human nature
