Another reason also why 1711 7, LXVI | images are representations of God, for they cannot represent 1712 7, LXVI | the one hand we say that God has not a human form, and 1713 7, LXVI | profess to believe that God made man the image of Himself, 1714 7, LXVI | created man the image of God; our answer is the same 1715 7, LXVI | hold the resemblance to God to be preserved in the reasonable 1716 7, LXVI | between "being the image of God," and "being created after 1717 7, LXVI | created after the image of God," pretends that we said, " 1718 7, LXVI | pretends that we said, "God made man His own image, 1719 7, LXVII | and that a worshipper of God ought not to worship demons." 1720 7, LXVIII | them of worshipping not a god, not even demons, but a 1721 7, LXVIII | are ordered according to God's will, and that His providence 1722 7, LXVIII | whether it be the work of God, of angels, of other demons, 1723 7, LXVIII | the law of the Most High God?

For it follows from it 1730 7, LXVIII | are ordered by the will of God, which is a different thing 1731 7, LXVIII | that they come to pass with God's permission. For if we 1732 7, LXVIII | are ordered according to God's will, and that all, therefore, 1733 7, LXVIII | that "the providence of God regulates all things," we 1734 7, LXVIII | ascribe to the providence of God all things whatsoever, however 1735 7, LXVIII | true that the providence of God regulates all things, unless 1736 7, LXVIII | unless we refer directly to God's providence things which 1737 7, LXVIII | whether it be the work of God, of angels, of other demons, 1738 7, LXVIII | the law of the Most High God." But this also is incorrect; 1739 7, LXVIII | transgressors follow the law of God when they transgress; and 1740 7, LXIX | such do not keep the law of God, but, to use a new phrase 1741 7, LXIX | instead of keeping the law of God, offend against it.

We decline, 1842 8, XIII | they are not servants of God. For if we had been taught 1843 8, XIII | with all our power the one God, and His only Son, the Word 1844 8, XIII | the Word and the Image of God, by prayers and supplications; 1845 8, XIII | offer our petitions to the God of the universe through 1846 8, XIII | therefore, is directed to God through His Son, who strengthens 1847 8, XIII | never show that the Son of God is the cause of any sedition 1848 8, XIII | disloyalty in the kingdom of God. We honour the Father when 1849 8, XIV | Jesus is not the Son of God, but that, God is the Father 1850 8, XIV | the Son of God, but that, God is the Father of all, and 1851 8, XIV | And they call him Son of God, not out of any extreme 1852 8, XIV | any extreme reverence for God, but from an extreme desire 1853 8, XIV | have learned who the Son of God is, and know that He is " 1854 8, XIV | the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing 1855 8, XIV | unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of His goodness." 1856 8, XIV | therefore, that He is the Son of God, and that God is His father. 1857 8, XIV | the Son of God, and that God is His father. And there 1858 8, XIV | unbecoming the character of God in the doctrine that He 1859 8, XIV | a Son of the unbegotten God and Father. If Celsus has 1860 8, XIV | holding that the Son of God is not the Son of the Creator 1861 8, XIV | the world, and not men of God, who would wage war against 1862 8, XIV | Son of God--Son of that God, namely, whom, to quote 1863 8, XIV | Saviour is the Most High God; however, we do not hold 1864 8, XIV | of doing--to the Son of God.~ 1865 8, XV | the Son is mightier than God, and the Son of man is Lord 1866 8, XV | Son can be Lord over that God who is the ruler over all 1867 8, XV | They suppose that another God, who is above the heavens, 1868 8, XV | form and name of the great God, and whom they assert to 1869 8, XV | assert to be stronger than God, who rules the world, and 1870 8, XV | Son of man is Lord over God. But when we regard the 1871 8, XV | we regard the Saviour as God the Word, and Wisdom, and 1872 8, XV | dominion extends over the God and Father who is Ruler 1873 8, XV | be Lord over Him who is God over all?"~ 1874 8, XVI | with us, not to worship any god whom we merely "suppose" 1875 8, XVI | make to themselves another god under a new form, having 1876 8, XVI | nothing but the name of God, whom they esteem higher 1877 8, XVI | Son is greater than the God who rules all things. In 1878 8, XVI | who is the Son and Word of God.~ 1879 8, XVII | which are fit offerings to God are the work of no common 1880 8, XVII | fashioned in us by the Word of God, to wit, the virtues in 1881 8, XVII | the image of the invisible God," God the Only-begotten. 1882 8, XVII | image of the invisible God," God the Only-begotten. And again, 1883 8, XVII | like to what the Most High God Himself desires. And as 1884 8, XVII | according to the image of God the Creator. But by far 1885 8, XVIII | in the contemplation of God with a pure heart they become 1886 8, XVIII | filled with the Spirit of God who dwells in the images 1887 8, XVIII | Himself. And the Word of God, wishing to set this clearly 1888 8, XVIII | clearly before us, represents God as promising to the righteous, " 1889 8, XVIII | them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." 1890 8, XVIII | who worship the Most High God with the statues of Pheidias, 1891 8, XIX | bodies are the temple of God, and that if any one by 1892 8, XIX | sin defiles the temple of God, he will himself be destroyed, 1893 8, XIX | destruction of the temple of God in Him, but that their purposes 1894 8, XIX | who are led by the word of God to strive together in the 1895 8, XIX | the one great temple of God. Accordingly, Peter says, " 1896 8, XIX | sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ;" and Paul 1897 8, XX | and what the one Temple of God built of precious stones 1898 8, XX | divine faculty for perceiving God, and the temples, statues, 1899 8, XX | altars which are worthy of God. It is not therefore true 1900 8, XX | the true way of serving God, and we shrink from whatever, 1901 8, XXI | what Celsus further says of God, and how he urges us to 1902 8, XXI | sacrifices are well-pleasing to God, he call them "holy sacrifices." 1903 8, XXI | sacrifices." His words are, "God is the God of all alike; 1904 8, XXI | His words are, "God is the God of all alike; He is good, 1905 8, XXI | which he fancies between God's being good, and independent, 1906 8, XXI | that from the fact that God is good, and without want 1907 8, XXI | views of the character of God, so that they resulted naturally 1908 8, XXI | from a devout service of God. If, however, the so-called 1909 8, XXI | accord with the service of God, but may on the contrary 1910 8, XXI | sacrifices in prayer to God. That therefore seems to 1911 8, XXII | serving his natural Lord, God the Word, all his days are 1912 8, XXII | the things of this life to God, and is hastening towards 1913 8, XXII | hastening towards the city of God. And, finally, he who can 1914 8, XXII | the tongue of fire which God sends.~ 1915 8, XXIII | are required by the law of God to keep its festivals by 1916 8, XXIV | certain that they too are God's creatures, and that we 1917 8, XXV | that "the demons belong to God, and are therefore to be 1918 8, XXV | must know that the word of God nowhere says of evil things 1919 8, XXV | things that they belong to God, for it judges them unworthy 1920 8, XXV | bear the name of "men of God," but only those who are 1921 8, XXV | those who are worthy of God,--such as Moses and Elias, 1922 8, XXV | not said to be angels of God, but only those that are 1923 8, XXV | the former are said to be God's and the latter the devil' 1924 8, XXV | angels some are angels of God, and others angels of the 1925 8, XXV | they must also belong to God." He must either show that 1926 8, XXV | demons do not belong to God; for their prince is not 1927 8, XXV | for their prince is not God, but, as holy Scripture 1928 8, XXVI | so; but if we are to obey God, we must die, or endure 1929 8, XXVI | obey, for "we must obey God rather than men." Away, 1930 8, XXVI | to pray to the Most High God alone, and to the Only-begotten, 1931 8, XXVI | ascend to Him from us, to His God and our God, to His Father 1932 8, XXVI | from us, to His God and our God, to His Father and the Father 1933 8, XXVI | would make us enemies of God, who cannot be pleased with 1934 8, XXVII | protected by the Supreme God, who is well pleased with 1935 8, XXVII | contented with the favour of God through Christ Jesus, may 1936 8, XXVII | too evidently belong to God, and they are to be believed, 1937 8, XXIX | pure worship and service of God, and anxious not to throw 1938 8, XXIX | Meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, 1939 8, XXX | to demons, and a man of God must not join the table 1940 8, XXX | person who received from God a soul which has nobly employed 1941 8, XXXI | themselves to the Most High God to eat with demons.

And again, in another 1945 8, XXXII | all things in the name of God." When, therefore, we eat 1946 8, XXXII | breathe to the glory of God, and act in all things according 1947 8, XXXII | sanctified by the word of God and prayer." But it could 1948 8, XXXIII | according to the word of God, as far as we are enabled 1949 8, XXXIII | we do all to the glory of God;" and we are not to refuse 1950 8, XXXIII | been brought into life by God; and we are not placed under 1951 8, XXXIII | government of the Most High God, through Him who hath brought 1952 8, XXXIII | according to the law of God that any demon has had a 1953 8, XXXIII | destitute of the knowledge of God and of the divine life, 1954 8, XXXIII | there are many enemies of God. Perhaps also, as being 1955 8, XXXIII | themselves to evil and not to God. For this reason, then, 1956 8, XXXIII | Celsus, as one who knows not God, give thank-offerings to 1957 8, XXXIV | heavens, Jesus the Son of God," and "we hold fast this 1958 8, XXXIV | as we live; for we find God and His only-begotten Son, 1959 8, XXXIV | imitate their piety towards God, and in prayer call upon 1960 8, XXXIV | deliverance those who pray to God, to whom they themselves 1961 8, XXXIV | put on the whole armour of God," who have received strength 1962 8, XXXV | righteous man says, "O Lord my God, if I have done this; if 1963 8, XXXVI | generals and ministers of God, do not, as Celsus supposes, " 1964 8, XXXVI | office of the kind from God. And they even do injury 1965 8, XXXVI | mean--who has submitted to God alone and His Word, will 1966 8, XXXVI | the one High Priest to the God of all, and also joins his 1967 8, XXXVI | have given themselves to God.~ 1968 8, XXXVII | Christians, who pray to God alone through Jesus; and 1969 8, XXXVII | divine Scripture applies to God; but the Greeks use Greek 1970 8, XXXVII | prays and sings praises to God as he best can, in his mother 1971 8, XXXVIII | or Apollo, or some other god: I revile it, and beat it, 1972 8, XXXVIII | not inherit the kingdom of God." And who amongst us is 1973 8, XXXVIII | deny the existence of a God or of an overruling providence, 1974 8, XXXIX | you call him, 'the Son of God'--takes no vengeance on 1975 8, XXXIX | right to call the Son of God a demon. For as we hold 1976 8, XXXIX | who turns so many men to God is in our view no demon, 1977 8, XXXIX | in our view no demon, but God the Word, and the Son of 1978 8, XXXIX | the Word, and the Son of God. And I know not how Celsus 1979 8, XLI | those who crucified your God when present among men, 1980 8, XLI | impostor, but the Son of God? And forsooth, he who sent 1981 8, XLI | not inherit the kingdom of God." And we read, "Bless them 1982 8, XLI | not allowed by the word of God. And how much more ought 1983 8, XLI | supposed to be the form of God by those who have no knowledge 1984 8, XLI | who have no knowledge of God. Accordingly, we throw ridicule 1985 8, XLII | Those who crucified your God himself, suffered no harm 1986 8, XLII | divine nature, that we call God; and that it was as God 1987 8, XLII | God; and that it was as God that Jesus was crucified 1988 8, XLII | overthrown and laid waste; for God judged the inhabitants of 1989 8, XLII | incredible thing to say, God spared this people in delivering 1990 8, XLIII | strangers to the covenants of God, with no part in His promises, 1991 8, XLIII | impostor, but were the work of God, who sent His Word, Jesus 1992 8, XLIII | announcement of the purposes of God; indeed, if we may so say, 1993 8, XLIII | all," that so "the Lamb of God," by dying for all men, 1994 8, XLVI | followed the commands of God, were prosperous; when they 1995 8, XLVI | hospitably, that by the grace of God she should have a son; and 1996 8, XLVII | prophets or by angels, or by God through the means of angels; 1997 8, XLVII | before they sinned against God, and were for their great 1998 8, XLVIII | reader that the Spirit of God was in those men, and that 1999 8, XLIX | enjoyment of eternal life with God by means of the soul or 2000 8, XLIX | Creator.
