  7        1, XIX    |           compelled to accept the statement that there have been many

 15        1, LXII   |          truth there is in such a statement. It is manifest to us all

 19        2, VIII   |            agreeably to prophetic statement, was quite in keeping with

 27        2, XXIV   |     accusation against the Gospel statement, grossly exaggerating the
 28        2, XXXI   |    expressing his approval of the statement that the Logos is the Son
 29        2, XXXVII |         the present occasion, the statement that the prophets predicted
 30        2, XLVII  |           represents, moreover, a statement of his own as if it were
 31        2, LIV    |           on record the following statement about his own death: 'And
 32        2, LIV    |          casts discredit upon the statement, that "Jesus foretold that

 38        2, LXIV   |          view, is clear from this statement, "I am the way, and the

 45        3, VII    |            In like manner, as the statement is false "that the Hebrews,
 46        3, IX     |       result." Now that the above statement is false is clear from this,
 47        3, X      |         alleges as a proof of his statement: "Christians at first were
 48        3, XXVI   |           at present to quote the statement of the latter writer from
 49        3, XXVII  |           giving credence to such statement as the above, without producing
 50        3, XXXVI  |          spirit of hostility this statement is made. For what is there
 51        3, XLIII  |          raised from the tomb,--a statement which the Cretans have not
 52        3, XLIX   |                        XLIX.~This statement also is untrue, that it

 54        3, LIV    |          point), in answer to the statement of Celsus: Do not philosophers
 55        3, LXII   |          has been sent." Now this statement of his is much the same
 56        3, LXII   |        made no distinction in his statement,--we reply that it is impossible
 57        3, LXIII  |        another time accepting our statement that there is no man altogether
 58        3, LXX    |          place, he objects to the statement, as if it were maintained
 59        4, I      |  prophecy--he makes the following statement:--~
 60        4, II     |        very charge to censure our statement as one that is most shameless,
 61        4, III    |         this objection to his own statement: "Does he not know all things?"
 62        4, VII    |          yet, after making such a statement, he raises a new objection,
 63        4, XI     |          intervals of time; which statement Celsus alleges the Jews
 64        4, XIV    |         proofs. And I make no new statement, but say what has been long
 65        4, XIX    |   answering other charges, to the statement that "no one who is either

 70        4, XXXI   |       pages. But if he thinks his statement, that "they were never held

 72        4, XXXVII |      skins, he might ridicule the statement, "He breathed into his face
 73        4, XXXVIII|           ridicules the following statement: "And God caused a deep
 74        4, XLVI   |       colours, but believed their statement, and mourned for his son,

 78        4, LXXII  |         be clear from the further statement of Paul: "Or despisest thou
 79        4, LXXVII |           with being an erroneous statement. His words are as follow: "
 80        4, LXXX   |        evident that the following statement of Celsus is untrue, that "
 81        4, LXXXI  |       religion from accepting the statement that before God there is
 82        4, LXXXIX |        showing the falsity of the statement that they have ideas of
 83        4, XCVII  |        than ours, he ascribes the statement to that effect not to any
 84        4, XCVIII |           keeping its oath, which statement also in itself is false.
 85        5, II     |         now, then, to refute that statement of his which runs as follows: "
 86        5, II     |       himself. For if the general statement, that "no God or son of
 87        5, VI     |    proceeds to make the following statement about the Jews:--"The first
 88        5, VII    |          follows that the general statement of Celsus, even according
 89        5, XVI    |         this is our answer to the statement, "All the rest of the race
 90        5, XXIX   |           of Deuteronomy, makes a statement regarding the portioning
 91        5, XXXII  |          in this way;" from which statement Celsus took occasion to
 92        5, XXXVI  |        act. He adduces, indeed, a statement of Herodotus which favours
 93        5, LII    |                      LII.~But the statement of Celsus which we wish
 94        5, LIII   |          language, but makes this statement only as an empty rhetorical
 95        5, LIV    |     supposed to have obtained the statement, that "sixty or seventy
 96        5, LVI    |        united, he subjoins to his statement regarding the sixty or seventy
 97        5, LXIV   |         to have misunderstood the statement of the apostle, which declares
 98        5, LXV    |        show the falsity of such a statement. For there are certain heretical
 99        6, VI     |          epistle of Plato another statement to the following effect,
100        6, VIII   |        master, have made the same statement. What are we to say, moreover,
101        6, IX     |       Jesus, with whom agrees the statement, "The Word became flesh;"
102        6, XII    |          wished to show that this statement was an invention of ours,
103        6, XLIX   |           fitted to overthrow the statement that "man has been made
104        6, XLIX   |          life," or made any other statement regarding the creation of
105        6, L      |      words may be referred to the statement, "In the beginning God made
106        6, LV     |           a certain passage, this statement put into the mouth of God, "
107        6, LV     |     ignorant manner, he made this statement which we have noticed. We,
108        6, LXI    |        the Scriptures made such a statement, or as if we ourselves so
109        6, LXV    |          be reached by word." The statement, moreover, that "He cannot
110        6, LXV    |        the attributes of God, the statement is true, since there are
111        6, LXVI   |          us look also at his next statement, in which he introduces,
112        6, LXXIV  |         he desires to support the statement which declares that Jesus
113        6, LXXXI  |          furnish an answer to our statement, that everything regarding
114        7, VIII   |      prophets. However it be, his statement is false, taken in either
115        7, IX     |          could not do so, and the statement is a piece of pure ostentation.
116        7, X      |           his own purposes." This statement of Celsus seems ingeniously
117        7, XIII   |          there is no truth in the statement of Celsus, that "God does
118        7, LVI    |         do so even to justify his statement that these passages are
119        7, LXVIII |           into the meaning of the statement, that "all things are ordered
120        8, VII    |           aware of. For after the statement which he made in regard
121        8, VII    |      demons. And in regard to his statement, that men suffer injury
122        8, XXIV   | propitious." In reference to this statement, it would be profitable
123        8, XXIV   |         ourselves with this brief statement of the argument; for it
124        8, XXVIII |           now proceed to the next statement of Celsus, and examine it
125        8, XXXI   |         one wishes to defend this statement of Celsus, let him show
126        8, XXXIII |         have already met the next statement of Celsus, which is as follows: "
127        8, LIII   |         let us proceed to another statement of Celsus: "Since men are
128        8, LIX    |          they may ridicule such a statement. yet they will receive much
