228 XVIII | rather believe the Supreme God, and Him who teaches that

231 XVIII | faith, and believe in the God Who made all these things,
232 XVIII | clearer views of the things of God than Plato or the Greek
233 XVIII | show that such a worship of God, though partly lost and

261 XVIII | Psalm David in his prayer to God is reported to have said, "
262 XVIII | concerning the same Solomon, "And God gave Solomon wisdom and

267 XVIII | hold, says that, "Knowing God, they glorified him, not
268 XVIII | they glorified him, not as God, neither gave thanks";364
269 XVIII | not this knowledge without God's help. "For," he says, "

272 XVIII | they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks." ~
273 XVIII | many noble, are called: but God chose the foolish things
274 XVIII | them that are wise; and God chose the base things of
275 XVIII | making them all worthy of God. ~20. And it is another
276 XVIII | hinder a man from knowing God? Can it possibly be anything
277 XVIII | hindrance but a help in knowing God. And it is more fitting
278 XVIII | men to the worship of the God of the universe, and to
279 XVIII | they are lost and dead to God, those who have been overcome
280 XVIII | administration in the Church of God those who soon lapsed after
281 XVIII | instruct all with the Word of God, whatever Celsus may wish,
282 XVIII | nature and make it fit for God, the Creator of all things? ~
283 XVIII | and laws on all sides: so God when He gives the law in
284 XVIII | knew this when he said, "God chose the foolish things
285 XVIII | glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image
286 XIX | do we think that Jesus is God seeing that He had a mortal
287 XIX | of this good fortune to God, Who knows the causes of
288 XIX | when we submit ourselves to God Who is over all, confessing
289 XIX | that He did not without God's help undertake and accomplish
290 XIX | forbids us to think that God is by any means corruptible
291 XIX | insignificant when we think of God, Who is over all, the Maker,
292 XIX | preach the Word concerning God and His kingdom. ~4. And
293 XIX | had a mortal body, is a god, and with supposing that
294 XIX | persuaded was from the beginning God and Son of God, is the very
295 XIX | beginning God and Son of God, is the very Word, and very
296 XIX | Nature, were taken into God.390And if, any one stumbles
297 XIX | should by the providence of God, Who so willed, change into
298 XX | are, and are both dear to God, and have a conception of
299 XX | and have a conception of God, and foreknow the future;
300 XX | length for alleging that God has made all things for
301 XX | guilty of impiety towards God, "Who provides for the rational
302 XX | and rain are not works of God." And, secondly, he says
303 XX | that these are works of God, they exist no more for
304 XX | of these things, the only God, even herein find motives
305 XX | does not see that because God wished man's intelligence
306 XX | to your contention, that God has given us the power to
307 XX | wisdom of Providence, and God is ruler over all, the small
308 XX | sometimes see the angels of God coming to visit them. It
309 XX | rendered to the will of God. It is consequently false
310 XX | in this respect at least God subjected men to the beasts,
311 XX | than beasts to men." For God did not subject men to the
312 XX | subject men to the beasts, but God gave the beasts to be taken
313 XX | destruction. For not without God's help did men devise the
314 XX | accept the view that with God there is no difference between
315 XX | One, He Who is both Son of God and King of the subject
316 XX | accomplishes the works of God's Providence, but also those
317 XX | was made in the image of God; and they see that it is
318 XX | created in the image of God to altogether obliterate
319 XX | perhaps also of the Supreme God Himself; and it is on account
320 XX | been made in the image of God, for reason is the image
321 XX | the image of the Supreme God Himself. 404~~~~~~13. Next,
322 XX | even man's conceptions of God are no more remarkable than
323 XX | creatures have thoughts of God, concerning Whom the acutest
324 XX | oracular creatures gifted by God with foreknowledge, teach
325 XX | closer intercourse with God, and are wiser than men
326 XX | wiser than men and dearer to God. And intelligent men tell
327 XX | they have some knowledge of God." Now, here observe how
328 XX | more sacred conceptions of God than we have, and that they
329 XX | believing in the Supreme God expects us to believe that
330 XX | have clearer conceptions of God than Celsus has, and no
331 XX | Greeks had, who treated of God and the Divine nature, for
332 XX | understand the nature of God better than Pherecydes,409
333 XX | and meaner conceptions of God. Let our inquiry, then,
334 XX | nature and conceptions of God, and having the knowledge
335 XX | snake had swallowed, by the God, who first ~Sent him to
336 XX | sinned against the true God and the angels in heaven,
337 XX | their allegiance to the real God), they conceal themselves
338 XX | and has either learnt from God the facts about them and
339 XX | best view to take, that God over All, and His Son, impel
340 XX | soul and perceptions of God, or, as Celsus says, "the
341 XX | you spoke?" ~22. The true God, however, in imparting a
342 XX | nations, which the Lord thy God shall destroy from before
343 XX | divinations; but the Lord thy God gave not so unto thee." 422
344 XX | elsewhere, "The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee
345 XX | brethren." 423On one occasion God wished by means of an augur
346 XX | Jacob and to Israel, what God will perform." 424Just because
347 XX | knowledge of the glory of God" 426may shine in our hearts,
348 XX | our hearts, the Spirit of God dwelling in our imagination
349 XX | impressing on us the things of God; "for as many as are led
350 XX | are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." 427~~~~~~
351 XX | God, they are the sons of God." 427~~~~~~23. And we ought
352 XX | creature has a conception of God. It is also false that "
353 XX | have a closer intimacy with God"; for the fact is that bad
354 XX | are far from intimacy with God. We maintain that only the
355 XX | all near to intimacy with God: such men as our Prophets
356 XX | alone shall draw near to God, the rest shall not draw
357 XX | but are also dearer to God?" And who would not shrink
358 XX | and the hawk are dearer to God than human kind? He will
359 XX | creatures are dearer to God than men, these same creatures
360 XX | are obviously dearer to God than Socrates, and Plato,
361 XX | and the other exponents of God and the Divine nature, whose
362 XX | creatures are dearer to God than men, may you be as
363 XX | men, may you be as dear to God as they are, and may you
364 XX | according to you, are dearer to God than men!" And let him not
365 XX | persuaded, are dearer to God than others, so that he,
366 XX | them, may become dear to God? ~24. And wishing to show
367 XX | down from heaven and from God to earth and places lower
368 XX | they have a knowledge of God. I know a good many marvellous
369 XX | was that this world, as God's work, might be a complete
370 XX | sense, but to the whole, and God cares for the whole; and
371 XX | it degenerate, nor does God in process of time turn
372 XX | that this world may be, as God's work, a complete and perfect
373 XX | good sense of this. But God's care is not merely universal,
374 XX | Himself. It is true that God is never angry on account
375 XX | which it is proper that God should, according to His
376 XX | here end the discourse. God grant through His Son, Who
377 XX | through His Son, Who is God the Word, and Wisdom, and
378 XXI | him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy."~e. "It
379 XXI | hath mercy."~e. "It is of God both to will and to do"~
380 XXI | a righteous judgment of God forms part of 431the preaching
