88 2, 50 | to have enquired of those Gods who were among them, and
89 2, 50 | those (Deities) were no Gods. For if, when (these) were
90 2, 50 | when (these) were really Gods, they set them at nought;
91 2, 51 | been mentioned, were really Gods; Why was it, that the conversation
92 2, 51 | reverence due to these same Gods ? And again, (these) went
93 2, 51 | done; and honoured those (Gods) with the honours which
94 2, 51 | perception, that they were no Gods: and, that those who boasted
95 2, 51 | supposed that these were Gods: inasmuch as they had afforded
96 2, 52 | the many, and called those Gods, which they knew more accurately
97 2, 52 | wise men (then) ask of the Gods the things advantageous
98 2, 52 | were called forth to their Gods; (and this) in the little
99 2, 52 | from them in words, of the Gods, the sons of the Gods, of
100 2, 52 | the Gods, the sons of the Gods, of Demigods, and of good
101 2, 53 | those who were thought to be Gods: nor did they spare their
102 2, 55(105)| and a hundred books on the Gods; and, that on this last
103 2, 64 | however, had sacrificed to the Gods that select part (Tithes)
104 2, 67 | Kings, as if they had been Gods ! They had too, thousands
105 2, 67 | thousands of different Gods, both in the villages and
106 2, 67 | error of a multiplicity of Gods127 began and obtained dominion,—
107 2, 67 | men in the worship of the Gods; and more able were they
108 2, 68 | innumerable things did the Gods,—as one may affirm,—fully
109 2, 68 | converse with them, as being Gods (present) with them, and
110 2, 68 | fruits of honouring these Gods were these; wars, contentions,
111 2, 69 | Greeks, and the rest of the Gods had dominion over them,
112 2, 69(132)| weakness or wickedness in the Gods. ~
113 2, 69 | Greeks to the Greeks; the Gods nevertheless, sitting at
114 2, 69 | one another; these Grecian Gods,—behold! when with them;
115 2, 70 | honour inanimate images as Gods, and vainly, emptily, and
116 2, 71 | themselves, who subscribed to the Gods of their fathers, and were
117 2, 71 | were these fruits: the Gods too being within (their
118 2, 71 | family of the Greeks:—the Gods being more numerous than
119 2, 71 | above)? For, either these Gods could do nothing, because
120 2, 72 | 72. For, if they were no Gods, and in their nature by
121 2, 73 | just mentioned): — did the Gods (act), being present with
122 2, 73 | reputation of their being Gods was superfluous: nor did
123 2, 74 | every thing, and even of the Gods themselves, and (affirm),
124 2, 74 | will the purposes of the Gods themselves be rendered vain,
125 2, 74 | shall happen) even when the Gods will (them) not ! And thus
126 2, 74 | those who reverence these Gods become vain and empty, since
127 2, 75 | us to judge of these same Gods, as doing such things among
128 2, 76 | recollection of the rest of the Gods has been wholly withholden
129 2, 76 | which pertained to the Gods, are now no more done; —
130 2, 76 | desolation, and all those Gods, which formerly uttered
131 2, 76 | when they honoured the Gods far more than their own
132 2, 78 | When the worship of many Gods prevailed, there was neither
133 2, 78 | engaged in respecting these Gods, by the kings of those times,
134 2, 79 | too who were thought to be Gods, who gave out divinations,
135 2, 79 | error of a plurality of Gods, and acknowledge the God
136 2, 80 | that, as (these) their Gods were (but) molten, they
137 2, 80 | pieces? Which (I ask) of the Gods has ever put (this) on record ?
138 2, 80 | to the contrary, when the Gods were in peace ! For, during
139 2, 80 | reflection, that these were no Gods, as it also must, that they
140 2, 86 | those who were thought to be Gods, and (their) Fanes, together
141 2, 86 | together with the images and Gods themselves, did He desolate
142 2, 86 | reason, that these never were Gods, and, that it was not in
143 2, 86 | that there are many ./. Gods; and acknowledge that Lord
144 2, 86 | who supposed these to be Gods, by a continuance of the
145 2, 86 | that the Temples of the Gods were even burnt, together
146 2, 86 | those who had fabricated Gods for themselves, by ambushments
147 2, 86 | these worshippers of the Gods witnessed these early (occurrences),
148 2, 87 | when they believed in these Gods, who had (virtually) confessed
149 2, 87 | of themselves and of the Gods, vain must be (every) trust
150 2, 87 | error of a plurality of Gods in thunderings and in ./.
151 2, 91 | the Pantheon169,—(all) the Gods being assembled together
152 2, 95 | follies of a plurality of Gods, and had been maddened by
153 2, 95 | error of a plurality of Gods. ~
154 3, 1 | error of a plurality of Gods was also overthrown, and
155 3, 2 | the many Demons, and many Gods; so that the one kingdom
156 3, 8 | those who were thought to be Gods by the many, should wage
157 3, 12 | error of a multiplicity of Gods to the Greeks, -- that henceforth
158 3, 13(13) | Demons, ministers of the Gods, not the Gods themselves,
159 3, 13(13) | ministers of the Gods, not the Gods themselves, presided in
160 3, 13 | Desert of Lybia ? All these Gods have crept under the earth,
161 3, 13(16) | at one time the forms of Gods, at another, those of Ghosts (
162 3, 20 | men, as if they had been Gods, and who, during the revolutions
163 3, 33 | those who have been named Gods by all nations? If (not
164 3, 35 | ever contended with all the gods and heroes both of the Greeks
165 3, 35 | was superior to all, both gods and heroes, that ever existed,
166 3, 39 | their nature, the name of Gods. On this account, He prepared
167 3, 55 | error of a multitude of Gods, when He began to be known
168 3, 55 | and falsely, been esteemed Gods. He therefore, THE WORD
169 3, 56 | subjected to these as to Gods: on this account therefore,
170 3, 56 | were formerly thought to be Gods; just as it is written in
171 3, 57 | errror, of a multiplicity of Gods. This His first conflict
172 3, 58 | Because men had formerly made gods for themselves of those
173 3, 58 | had named those heroes and gods, who had been taken away
174 3, 60 | against the error of many gods. For, if they had not been
175 3, 61 | life of lust, became their Gods ! The very lust of the body
176 3, 61 | the rambling stories about Gods lovers of lust, and attached
177 3, 65 | Air, and Fire, -- were Gods; since he had also been
178 3, 66 | and folly, again fabricate Gods to himself, or, even dare
179 3, 67(99) | mental faculties of men, Gods. See Book 11. Par. 5, &c.~
180 3, 68 | appellations of Heroes and Gods, to mortals who left this
181 3, 72 | formerly, to give the title of gods to the aliments of the body,
182 3, 79 | Demons, and stories about the Gods, which are now superannuated,
183 4, 3 | leaving the error of many Gods, recognized the ONE GOD
184 4, 8 | perverted to the error of many Gods, and the Angels, who were
185 4, 8 | all ages, respecting the Gods of their Forefathers. But
186 4, 9 | on in the error of many Gods, in the worship of Idols,
187 4, 27 | those who were thought Gods by the many: others arose (
188 5, 3 | allow those to worship many gods, -- to whom it had been
189 5, 14 | error of a plurality of gods, and have recognized and
190 5, 16 | error of a plurality of Gods, and adverse to the ordinances
191 5, 17 | worship of a plurality of Gods: -- laws at enmity with
192 5, 28 | opinions respecting the Gods of their forefathers; those (
193 5, 28 | forefathers supposed to be Gods; that we should then also
194 5, 28 | that fame respecting the Gods, which formerly went out
195 5, 28 | in contention with those Gods, whom all men have from
196 5, 31 | did the destruction of the Gods, at once of the Romans,
197 5, 46 | Barbarians, to desert the gods of their forefathers, and
198 5, 46 | and this) against their gods ? And, What power have we
199 5, 50 | libations, as if they had been Gods ; thinking that one of them
200 5, 52 | error of a plurality of Gods, how they would have contended
|
